I won a labor case against my employer and got part of the claim. How to get the rest?
1
Q: Good afternoon
I had filed a case against my previous employer, for the non-payment of salaries. The total amount was 10500 and I have received 7200.
There is no further update on the case, so I went to the Dubai court in Al-Awir. They said you would receive it but nothing. It's been over 6 months.
What should I do?
Please guide me

How to get my labor judgement payment released if it has already been paid to the court?

Q: I have an ongoing labor case which is currently in the execution phase and the court has already received the pending amount.
The final judgment came on May 3rd, so I want to understand when can I expect to get the amount and how long I am eligible to stay in UAE.
I am still on my employer's visa. What if I cancel the visa, is there any grace period in this situation or that would have been exhausted by now?

How to get paid by the court after seizing the amount of the judgment from the employer?



0
Q: Dear Lawyers,
Kindly assist please,
1. I got a favorable judgment against my employer after completing my contract without renewal. I executed and they refused to pay after Dubai Court served them notice.
I made the block request which was confirmed by Al Adheed, however, the company still won’t pay (But the company pays workers' salaries in between which I can confirm).
I saw an update through my account page on the court website that one of their bank accounts has the executed amount and the bank has reserved it.
I just want to know how long it will take for the Court to collect the amount from the bank and pay me or if there is another process I have to take.
Note- It's been 3 months and 1 week from the Case registration date to Execution Court.
2. Also The company canceled my visa, however, I am hoping to exit the country within the amnesty grace period if I can’t get an employment offer for a new visa. Which authority do I need to inform of my situation while waiting to get paid?
Thank you

Can the company pay the labor execution amount in cash rather than in court?

Q: I opened execution one month ago and Abu Dhabi labor enforcement already seized the trade license, company cars, and bank accounts
Now the company called and offered to give me the money but they want to give me cash at Enjaz office Mussafah in Abu Dhabi.
I heard that once the execution is opened, the company must deposit the amount in the enforcement labor court only.
Then, the court will transfer the amount into my bank account and I already provided my bank account details while opening execution before.
Actually, I am not satisfied with getting cash money in this way. I feel satisfied with getting money through court and I don’t know why the company wants to give cash.
Please advise me, should I receive cash money in this way in Enjaz office or should I refuse with the company and tell them to deposit it in the court bank account?
As per law, what should I do?
Please advise

عرض الجميعHow can we claim our money back if the cheque we received have bounced for insufficient funds? 0
We received a cheque which has now bounced. We have tried for over a month and a half now to get a new cheque from the person, and every day he says the next day.
We need the money now. We have been to the police station, and they said they can not do anything as the reason the cheque bounced is "Insufficient funds."
We have been to Al Barsha - Dubai Courts, and they said there is nothing they can do about it.
We are not sure what we can do. We need the money asap to pay our kids' school fees, let alone all the interest we have lost.

Who is supposed to pay for the transfer fee, the employee or the employer? 0
Hello
I joined my new company on February 26, 2025. Upon joining the new company, I asked HR if it was free to join the company, and she said yes.
After working with them for 1 month, I experienced a salary delay, and I had to go to the office to ask why there was a delay in my salary.
That is when the HR told me she deducted my whole salary to recover the transfer fee.
Now my question is, who is supposed to pay for the transfer fee, the employee or the employer?

After 11 months of work, how many leave days is an employee entitled to? 0
Hello,
I want to inquire regarding my leave privileges. I am now 11 months in my company. How many leaves am I privileged to?
Based on Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 regulating labour relations and its executive regulations, you are entitled to a paid weekly rest for not less than one day, as specified in the work contract or the work regulation.
The Council of Ministers may increase the weekly rest day stipulated in this article. The Decree-Law and its executive regulations also stipulate that you are entitled to an annual leave with full pay as follows:
- Thirty days for each year of your extended service.
- Two days per month in respect of any employee with more than six months and less than one year of service.
- Leave for parts of the last year of your service in case it is terminated before you use your annual leave balance.
Now my question is: do I have 22 days I can use? Can someone explain to me in detail?
Thank you!

What happens to the rent increase and eviction notice upon selling the property to a new owner? 4
I am a tenant in a villa. The landlord wants to sell the property to a new owner who wants to move in.
My rental agreement is till August 15, which means my 90-day increase notice is due on May 15.
Three parts to this question:
1. If the current owner serves me a 12-month notice, can the new owners still increase my rent?
2. If the current owner doesn't accept my counter-offer for the rental increase that he served before the notice (My offer is in line with the RERA calculations, but his is not), can he legally increase my rent if I get an eviction notice?
3. Is my eviction notice still valid if the sale of the property goes through? Or must the new owner serve me a new notice?
Thanks in advance

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?

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.
