In short
If the employer takes the passport, the foreign worker asks for the return of the document. If it is not given, they go to the path of a complaint. Not giving the passport is not a condition of the work permit. The permit document does not stand in for the passport. Advice on hiding, concealing or holding the document is not in this writing.
The work permit does not make the passport a condition
If the work-permit document does not write that the passport will be delivered to the employer, this condition does not come out of the document. A photocopy, a translation or a copy of identity having been asked for in the permit file is not an administrative condition of leaving the original passport at the workplace. A photocopy does not stand in for the original. If there is a minute that the original was received, the minute shows as much as it shows who took which document, with which record. If there is no minute, the delivery is not treated as having been built by an oral account. A sentence put into the employment contract does not become a condition of the administrative permit either. The contract is not read as the ground of leaving the original passport at the workplace.
The name on the permit document and the name on the passport are placed side by side. If there is a difference, the difference is written from the two documents. The difference is not made the reason for not giving the passport. If the passport number cannot be read on the document, the number is not added. The end date of the document does not build the condition of return either. A passport whose term continues and a passport whose term has run out do not change the existence of the request for return. The return is read from the document not standing with the person. The line of validity of the document is not written again as the ground of the return.
The employer may be the administrative addressee of the permit. This capacity does not give authority to hold the worker's travel document. Keeping the permit card at the workplace is not the same step as keeping the passport either. If the permit card was asked for, that request is written separately from the request for the passport. Even if the two documents stand in one envelope, there are two documents.
Which path the complaint goes to
The request is in writing. The title of the workplace, the record that the passport was asked for, and the answer that was given are written. A record is not invented because it is remembered. If the answer was oral, it is written that it stayed oral. If there is a written answer, the answer is read from its own sentence. If the document is not given, the complaint goes to the police or to the public prosecutor's office. The characterisation is made according to the event in the complaint. This writing does not put the name of the offence or the punishment. The text of the complaint recounts with whom the document stayed, when it was asked for, and what answer was given. It does not describe the manner of taking the document back.
A complaint that belongs to the employment relation may also go separately to the inspection unit of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security. ALO 170 is the public line of this unit. The line does not bring the passport back by itself. The inspection may look at the wage or at the conditions of work. The opening of the inspection is not a promise that the document will be returned. There is no promise of a result. If a copy of the complaint stands with the person, which unit it was left with is read from that copy. If there is no copy, the name of the unit is not chosen later.
The police minute and the petition given to the prosecutor's office are separate records. One does not stand in for the other. If there is a description, a number or a photograph of the document in the minute, the description is read from there. If there is no description, the passport is not completed with a feature that is remembered. If there is a witness, the witness's name stays there if it is written in the minute. The account is not pasted in the place of the sentence of the minute.
A wage debt does not hold the document
An unpaid wage, a travel expense, a visa fee or a claim of an advance is not a condition of withholding the passport. This writing does not turn that claim into an arrangement of holding. Whether the wage was paid is read separately from the wage document. An amount is not here. A calculation of seniority is not here either. The wage record does not leave the passport with the employer. A word that the expense was met is not written as the ground of the original document not being delivered. If a receipt shows the expense, the expense is on the receipt. The receipt does not carry a sentence that the passport is security. If it does not carry it, a relation of security is not built.
The worker is not treated as having left the document because they accepted the wage or the expense. If there is a release, or a paper like a release, and the paper does not write that the passport will stay with the employer, this result does not come out of the paper. If the signature line is empty, the gap is not filled. The release does not close the path of the complaint by itself. Closing is looked for only in the paper's own sentence and in that sentence being read as valid. This text does not announce that validity.
A residence card does not stand in for the passport
A residence card and a work-permit document are not a passport. This text does not give them the place of the passport at the border or in an identity step. The card standing with the person does not show that the passport was returned. The card standing with the employer does not stand in for the request for the passport either. The residence writing is read under the heading a residence permit not being extended. If there is a removal decision, it is read from its own service, under the heading objection to a removal decision. These two steps do not write the return of the passport by itself. If there is no sentence of seizure of the document in the decision, the seizure is not added from this writing.
Refusal of an application for a work permit does not build a passport condition either. The writing of refusal is under the heading refusal of a work permit. The refusal does not mean that the original passport will stay with the employer. Cancellation of the permit does not make the passport security either. The writing of cancellation is not the minute of the event of not giving the document. The two events are read from two papers.
Advice on hiding is not under this heading
Holding the passport for the term of the contract, taking out the expense, affecting the permit, or leaving it on the document in order to keep the person at the workplace, is not the subject of this writing. Concealing the document, copying it and hiding the original, and a path of taking it by force, are not written either. The worker is the person whose document was taken from their hand. The employer may be the administrative addressee of the work permit. This capacity does not give authority to withhold the original passport. The complaint recounts the event. How the event would be enlarged is not recounted.
The text of the complaint, if the documents stand, may be built from those documents by contact. The frame is on the page international law. The basis is the texts of International Labour Force Law No. 6735 and of Law No. 6458 on Foreigners and International Protection. If an article number is not on the paper, it is not added.
A document from a representation does not bring the old passport back
The representation of the person's own country is a separate path, for a travel document or an identity step, in the place of a passport that was not given. This application is not advice on hiding the old passport. A new document the representation gave does not bring back by itself the old passport that is with the employer. The name of the new document is whatever it is in the representation's writing. This text does not choose a type of document. The number of the old passport is not carried onto the new document. The number, if it is read on the old document, stays there.
Going to the representation does not stand in for a complaint to the police or the prosecutor's office. The complaint does not stand in for the application to the representation either. If there are two records, the two records are read. There is no advice on leaving the person's passport in another place without the employer knowing. What is read is that the request for return and the record of the complaint will be built from the document.
If a copy of the written request stands with the person, the title and the record are looked for on the copy. If there is no copy, that the request was made is read from how it appears in the minute of the complaint. If the minute carries an image of the document, the image is a description. The image is not treated as having brought the original passport back. If the employer wrote that the document was lost, this sentence does not mean that it was returned. The sentence of loss is read only if it stands in the writing. A description of how the loss happened is not in this text. A step of concealing the document or of taking it by force is not there either.
Another worker's document is not the paper of this event. Another passport number is not added to the event in hand. If the person has more than one passport, which document was asked for is read by the number written in the request or in the minute. If there is no number, a number is not chosen. A driving licence or a permit card does not join the subject of the request for the passport by itself. If they were asked for separately, each document is in its own sentence. The return of one does not show that the other was returned.
The result of the complaint is whatever the writing of the police or of the prosecutor's office says. When there is no writing, the document is not treated as having been returned. If there is a minute of return, the minute shows as much as it shows who gave the document to whom. If the signature line is empty, the delivery is not treated as completed. This page does not write when the return will be. Cancellation or refusal of the work permit does not become a condition of leaving the passport with the employer either. The complaint does not inflate the result of the permit as the ground of the request for the passport.
Conclusion
Not giving the passport is not a condition of the work permit. The foreign worker asks for the return. If it is not given, they go to the path of the police, the prosecutor's office or labour inspection. A wage debt does not hold the document. A residence card does not stand in for the passport. There is no advice on hiding. A document from a representation does not bring the old passport back.
