Claiming labor entitlements after signing the cancellation paper
I work for a company in IMPZ Dubai. I resigned on June 23 & my last working day was on July 22, 2018. My employer has not paid 2 months' salary & gratuity till date.
The company forcefully asked me to sign the cancellation paper and my visa got cancelled on August 16.
I have an email from the vice president of the company dated August 24 confirming that my settlements will be paid soon, and they mentioned in my settlement calculation that my dues will be paid upon visa cancellation, as this is their company policy.
Few other employees have left the company recently & the management followed the same process. i.e. visa cancellation first and then settlement of dues.
Kindly advise, how can I get my rights?
Hello there,
With reference to your inquiry,
Kindly be informed that you can definitely receive all your entitlements, even if you have signed all the cancellation documents.
If they settle with you, then everything would be automatically over.
But if they didn't, then don't waste time and file a labour complaint against them immediately.
Anyhow, we can assist you with that matter.
If you require any further assistance, please contact us.
Kind regards.
Dear Sir,
Thank you for contacting in this regard.
Please be informed that you are entitled to receive the full 2 months' salary plus gratuity as per your employment contract along with interest for all the delay they make.
Even though you have signed the cancellation paper, that does not bar your rightful claims from them.
You have a strong evidence as by email dated August 24, 2018, they have confirmed that they will pay you your dues.
I suggest you wait it out or immediately approach the labour department raising your claim.
We can have a short telephone consultation to redress your queries. You may contact me on 052-9495731, it will be a free consultation so do not hesitate in calling.
Regards,
Hari Wadhwana
