8 متاح 8 • عرض الجميعتوقيع عقد العمل نيابةً عن العامل دون موافقته
3
س: لديّ عاملة منزلية "مربية" تحت كفالتي منذ سبع سنوات.
قررت فجأة إنهاء عقدنا الحالي الذي سينتهي بعد أربعة أشهر وهربت مع صديقها.
حاولت التفاوض معها للعودة حتى أجد بديل لكن للأسف لم توافق.
عادةً تأتي معي لتجديد تأشيرة عملها والعقد في "تدبير". لكن العام الماضي، بعد الوصول إلى هناك، كان ابني نائمًا في السيارة ولذلك بقيت معه.
اضطررت إلى توقيع عقد العمل نيابة عني ونيابة عنها أمام الضابط الذي أخبرني أنه لا بأس لأنها كانت مربية أطفالنا منذ ست سنوات في ذلك الوقت. لست متأكدًا مما إذا كنت وضعت بصمة أصابعي بدلاً منها أم لا.
سؤالي هو؛ هل يمكنها رفع قضية ضدي لأنني وقعت نيابةً عنها على عقد الخادمة؟
إذا فعلت ذلك، فماذا ستكون العواقب المترتبة عليّ؟
شكرًا لك.

ما الذي يجب علي فعله عندما تذهب عاملة المنزل في إجازة ولا تعود؟
4
س: مرحبًا،
لقد أرسلت العاملة المنزلية في إجازة حيث إنني كنت ذاهبًا في إجازة. لقد عادت إلى الإمارات لكنها لم تعد إلى منزلي.
لقد قمت بتجهيز تأشيرة لها لمدة عامين من تدبير.
يرجى تقديم النصيحة.

حق عاملات المنازل في الاحتفاظ بجواز سفرهن ووثائقهن
15
س: مرحبًا،
أنا عاملة منزلية، وقد أدركت مؤخرًا أن هويتي الإماراتية الخاصة بي تختلف عن جميع أصدقائي من نفس الوكالة. ليس لديّ إشارة إلى اسم الكفيل أو المهنة، لا شيء موجود ومكانهما فارغ.
لم أر تأشيرة إقامتي مطلقًا لأن صاحب العمل يحتفظ بجواز سفري. كما أنني لم أر هويتي عن قرب، لقد أرسلوا لي صورة رقمية له فقط.
اتصلت ذات مرة بمكتب العمل للاستفسار عن عقدي لأن المكتب الذي أتيت منه رفض إرساله إلي، ولسوء الحظ، فأنا لست على نظام العمل والعمال.
لذا سؤالي هو، هل ستكون هذه مشكلة في المستقبل القريب؟
دعنا نقول عندما يتم إلغاء التأشيرة، فما هي التأشيرة التي أحملها لأنها لا تبدو لي كتأشيرة عاملة منزلية؟

يحتفظ الكفيل براتب شهرين حتى أجد وظيفة جديدة
1
س: صباح الخير،
أعمل خادمة في المنزل.
لقد أعطتني كفيلتي مهلة حتى نهاية هذا الشهر للعثور على وظيفة أخرى. وتقول إنها ستحتفظ براتبي لشهري أكتوبر ونوفمبر في حالة عدم العثور على عمل، وستدفع تذكرة العودة من راتبي.
أود أن أعرف ماذا أفعل حيال هذا الوضع لأنني لا أريد العودة إلى بلدي الآن.
لم أوقع عقد عمل مطلقًا ولم تعطني خطاب إلغاء.

Resolving housemaid passport and salary issues on contract termination
2
Q: Hello,
Good day!
I have been working as a housemaid for almost a year, since March 8, 2022.
However, I already informed my employer on February 8, 2023, that I wish to terminate my contract because they are not giving me a day off and my working hours start at 7:30 am and end at 12 am or sometimes later.
Additionally, they have been keeping my passport and visa, and have informed me that I need to pay for them. They have also withheld my salary until a new nanny is hired.
Can you please advise me on whether I can directly approach the labor department to file a complaint?
I am afraid to return home because I am worried that my employer might do something to harm me, and it is difficult for me to make calls while I am working as I am constantly taking care of the baby, and there is a camera in the room.
I appreciate your help!
Have a good day.
Best Regards,

UAE gratuity for domestic workers: Is it still applicable?
8
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to know whether we are required to pay gratuity to domestic workers under the latest law.
If so, from which year, as we have a few domestic workers who have been working for my boss for more than 20 years?
However, I came across the following news article:
End of Service Gratuity for domestic workers in the U.A.E. has been amended, by virtue of the new law governing domestic workers, which came into effect in December of 2022.
The new law, U.A.E. Federal Decree-Law No. 9 of 2022 on Domestic Workers, canceled the previous law, U.A.E. Federal Law No. 10 of 2017 on Domestic Workers.
Unlike the earlier law, the new law does not set out specific entitlement to the end-of-service gratuity.
This decision was further clarified by the Cabinet Resolution No. 106 of 2022 re: Domestic Employees, which was issued in January 2023.
Therefore, at present, there is no legal authority in support of gratuity entitlement for domestic workers.

Can the employer force the housmaid to work for unlimited hours without rest?



0
Q: Hi
I'm a nanny, and at the same time, I work as a housemaid (khadama) here in the house. I work, but as I know, the nannies and housemaids have different rights, and my employer doesn't give me rest.
My work starts at 7:30 am and then finishes at 10 pm or less. It depends on whether the baby is asleep or what time they will take on me if not yet asleep. Is this right?
Also, at the time of eating, I'm still working because the baby is with me, so I just let her sit in her chair. That's how I eat.
Please answer me. I want to know my rights.
Because if I can leave during the 6-month probation, I want to take it if the employer is this kind. I don't know.
They are also expats, but they don't follow the rules of the UAE regarding a housemaid.

عرض الجميعCan I cancel my house sale contract without extra fees after personal plans changed? 2
Dear Lawyers,
I signed a Form F with a buyer for the sale of my house as we were planning to leave the country. The contract was signed about a month ago, but the handover is not until August.
Due to personal circumstances changing, we are no longer leaving Dubai and would like to cancel Form F.
The Form F contract stipulates that we have to pay the buyer 10% of the purchase value. The real estate agent is now claiming that we also have to pay the buyer's real estate commission and the conveyancing fee.
Our understanding is that the 10% penalty is the only penalty. Which is correct, and what are the next steps to dispute this?
Also, is there any way to dispute the 10% itself under the law due to personal circumstances changing?

Tenant always late with payments, hasn't renewed contract. What to do? 2
Hello,
I have a tenant who is always late with their payment. Their renewal was supposed to be last December 2023.
Currently, they have not signed any new contract, provided any new cheques, and have stayed for three months from December until now without paying rent.
Additionally, I just discovered that they have sublet the apartment with partitions, which is clearly stated as not allowed in the old contract.
Please let me know what should I do legally!

Tenant received renewal notice, rejected proposed rent on renewal day. What next? 2
Hi,
We sent a renewal notice to our Dubai-based tenant 84 days before his contract renewal, with a 10% increase in rent.
The tenant neither agreed nor disagreed with the proposed rent and replied on the day of renewal that he wouldn't be paying the proposed rent.
Due to the argument, the landlord decided to reduce the rent, but the tenant has not yet renewed his contract. It has been 12 days since his contract expired.
Kindly suggest what could be done in this matter.

Mold in apartment due to construction fault: Can I get compensation? 1
Hi everyone,
I rent an apartment. After two days in the apartment, water started leaking from the ceiling.
It turned out to be a fault in the building's construction, which caused condensation in the false ceilings. When the panels were demolished, it was found that they were all full of mold.
The building manager has started work, but the apartment is no longer habitable.
Should the landlord compensate me for the lack of peaceful enjoyment of the property?

Unfairly fired with demands to repay housing allowance: Is it legal? 1
Dear Sir/Madam,
My employer (Federal) signed a 3-year contract with me. They have now given me 3 months' notice, ending my contract in May rather than August, saying that my contract was not renewed.
There was no reason given for my non-renewal. My evaluations have been consistently excellent. Further, they are now demanding 3 months of housing allowance be repaid. Is this legal?

Hi Sir,
I am S. and I am facing a one-year labour ban (as per my knowledge, and the same is mentioned in the cancellation paper too).
Now I have a new offer with [-----] company in a free zone, but things were not processed because of this ban. They asked me for the immigration clearance.
How can I clear this?
My previous contract was under a limited term, so even the salary basis is not helping me.
From other sites, I came to know it is possible, but I still have no idea how.
Can you suggest a solution?
