Good day! I worked in Malaysia for Eurest Support Services (ESS) from Jan. 25 to Dec. 12, 2016 as Recreation and Welfare Supervisor for the Petronas RAPID Project. In Dec. 12, I had a stroke and my right extremities were paralyzed, rendering me unable to continue to work. I was repatriated on Jan. 31, 2017 after staying in the hospital for almost two months. My question is, is it true that I am to receive full compensation for the duration of my two-year contract? I received only an equivalent of 4 month's salary despite me having at least a year or 12 months left remaining in my contract.
