Discover Jeddah : Work At Your Own Risk

Early April 2012 to May 2012,  a viral topic hits the social network "Facebook" about a  man experienced a horrible accident. Alfredo Salmos, 52 years old, a Filipino Worker who was electrocuted last year (2010).

While most companies,  if not all,  are providing medical  insurances and assure to take care  of the expenses in times of sickness or any work related accidents, it was just a bad  day for Mr. Salmos to have the accident occurred at the time when he was doing a Part Time   job, doing a job not prescribed by the company and not for the company he was working in. 

In most contracts it is being stipulated that you are not allowed to work in companies other than the company written in your contract. If you try to do outside your contract, you are therefore breaching it and the employer has a right to let do some actions against what you did. The worst thing happened  like that of Mr.  Salmos, an accident occurred outside the scope of contract,  the company would likely do nothing and probably opt of doing nothing. Even the benefits due for you, are likely to be  forfeited. 

Mr.  Salmos, on the other hand,  is just so blessed that many people set their hearts on him thus giving support and doing every effort to help  him.  It is by the force of this ordinary people ,joined together, that ignite their consulate to act something instead of doing having the consulate do the first actions in cases like this. 

If you are presently working in Jeddah and doing part time jobs or a person planning discover Jeddah by working  here and  planning to do the same for a greater earning, better think many times before everything goes contradict with what you are dreaming of.
