Question 16
16. Rajah Management (RM), the authorized local placement agency of Sultan
Group (SG), posted a job listing for project manager based in Qatar. Silang
applied for the position. After RM forwarded the documents of Silang to SG for
the processing of her work visa, SG sent a tourist visa notice instead of a work
visa. Six months into her two-year contract, Silang was repatriated by SG with
instructions to apply anew for deployment under a work visa. RM directed Silang
to undergo a pre-employment medical examination. When it was discovered that
she has uncontrolled diabetes, SG terminated her employment. Thus, Silang filed
a complaint for illegal dismissal against SG and RM. SG argued that the disease
of Silang was a valid cause for dismissal. Is the contention of SG correct?
