صاحب العمل يجبر الموظف على العمل لساعات إضافية. ما الخيارات المتاحة؟
6
س: السادة المحامون،
يُطلب مني العمل لساعات إضافية بدون أن أحصل على أجر مقابل ذلك، وإذا لم أفعل، فسيتم تخفيض راتبي وإلغاء تأشيرتي. كما يهددوني بعمل بلاغ "هروب" على جواز سفري.
ماذا أفعل في هذه الحالة؟

The company contract states that no overtime payment will be made. Is this legal?
1
Q: Hi,
My company closed and terminated everyone and is willing to pay for a 14-day notice period, but not willing to pay overtime which is more than 50 hours.
Its contract states: "Overtime work may be required in peak periods to meet deadlines, and this may in some cases include weekends and public holidays. No overtime payment will be made."
Isn’t having such statements in the contract against the law, as the law states differently?
How can I go about this?

The public prosecution appealed a judgment to increase the fine I already paid. What do I do now? 0
Good afternoon,
Thank you for your time.
The public prosecution appealed my judgment (a fine that I satisfactorily cleared) and requested increasing the fine.
Can you please explain what happens during a criminal case appeal hearing for me as a defendant?
Will I be asked questions?
Is the hearing just for the Public Prosecution to present their appeal to the judge, and I do not need to give a response?
Thank you again for your time.

How 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?

I was previously working in a company based in DMCC and have now moved to Hamriyah Free Zone. In my DMCC contract, there was no mention of a non-compete, but my offer letter includes one.
