Employment Disputes for Overseas Pakistanis: Which Law Applies?

When Pakistani workers in the Gulf, UK, or other countries have employment disputes, which jurisdiction and law governs?

Pakistani workers employed overseas are governed by the law of the country where they work. However, if they were recruited in Pakistan by a licensed recruiting agent, the Emigration Ordinance 1979 and the recruiting agent's obligations under Pakistani law provide additional protections. LexForm assists overseas Pakistani workers with: claims against Pakistani recruiting agents, recovery of unpaid wages through OPF (Overseas Pakistanis Foundation) complaints, and coordination with local lawyers in the employment jurisdiction.
