Has was those working home (kadama). They're not exercising any of those. A friend of mine working 5 yrs but no day off and need to leave for that situation. One more 5yrs working also only given day off new year or December for vacation. But not having 1 day a week.
Hope those concern will be given an action. Fair compensation and work benefit for all to mention the nationality.
Thankyou.
