I joined Professional Skills Centre (PSC), which was in Samail then in May 2008 and voluntarily ended my contract in June 2009. It was more than a year. On my last three, it was hell. I didnt get my salaries. To cut the long strory short, I resigned and asked for a released paper inorder to be able to work in another company. Little did my employer know that I will fight back,I just have to stay calm and get the release paper.

After that, I was employed by Majan University in Muscat. You cannot work in another school or college if you do not have a clean record, I mentioned clean record, a clearance which I was able to obtain. Soon thereafter, I filed a complaint at the Ministry of Manpower in Muscat then later directed me to Samail branch. I will not mention all the hardship I went through along the process. The complaint became a case after I was advised by the Philippine Embassy to further the fight. Took a private lawyer and so on.

Piror to joining, I have been hearing stories about cases against SALEM AL HARTHY by PSCs former staff, a couple from UK. I was just working , I said to my self.

8 months after he released me, Salem charged me of stealing stuff from the center and leaving the flat without paying (it was part of my contract , a free furnished accomodation) .How could you relased someone to work in another company if she/he has still standing obligations? After 8 months? The reason?, because he saw his name on a newspaper that I filed a case against him. Putting him on a newspaper was the first legal step that my lawyer did. So SALEM AL HARTHY counter charged me, he fabricated a lot of cheques with my faked signatures plus so many stupid charges that he didnt even think about before charging me.Example, I didnt pay the rent of my flat, I came May 2008 and left August 2009, how is it possible? Stupid eh? That I also I took the fridge when I left..lol !Salem knew where I was working because he released me to my new employer, Majan Uni.

Now, there was this British Lady who was my coleague then, joined Salem in his newly opened business in Sohar( under the same name , PSC ) and you all know how Arab men are when it comes to ladies.plus the lady was kinda slutty! Salem took her in Sohar to teach but I was left out, in other words they dumped me. I said dumped because they waited till I leave the place and never mentioned anything about opening a new center in Sohar.I left without getting my salaries but a piece of paper stating that I will get my money in due time which later proves to be the strongest document I use in the court.

No one even helped me to moved out, no phone calls, nothing.I was really left out. What Salem and his associated did was heart breaking.

On September 10, 2010, after their lovey-dovey in Sohar, that they thought wont stop, the Brit Lady emailed me. It was a surprised , it was after almost a year, tellling me that she is now suing Salem for unpaid salaries.KARMA WORKS! PRAYER WORKS! I didnt feel anything for the lady, I didnt pity her.

My advise, avoid this Center, ..PROFESSIONAL SKILLS CENTER, SALEM AL HARTHY, CHRIS MAGNESS, a British guy, Salems interviewer for new teachers, they are both big liars. The centre will not be in Sohar anymore but else where, so be careful. They will be good at first but later they will not pay you anymore.Salem has a bachelors degree in Cheating major in Lying..hes very good in cheating people.

I left the country Oman for good and with a case still going on, my lawyer has sms me already that the final decision of Nizwa court will be in October 2010. I do not hope to win, I just have to do what I have torather than to live forever with a thought ringing in my head, what could have been, if I didnt do or if I did.I decided to move on and I am writing this because it is my moral obligation to inform, warn, teachers planning to work in Oman. PLEASE PASS THIS ON.

I am also doing this on behalf of all my colleagues who worked in PSC and didnt get paid, Ben and Sophie (British couple) , Mike Butler who was, forcefully sent back home also with unpaid salaries, Caroline Kunder, an Indian national, Tony Farmer, Graham Bancroft . I was the last one to leave the center before they move to Sohar.
