Can I file an absconding case against an employee after canceling his visa and labor card?

5
Q: Good day!
I have a query on employee cancellation.
An employee is canceled, i.e. both his labor card and employment visa.
Can the employer ask the employee to leave the country even if he has a pending labor case against the employer and a 90 days grace period to leave the country after the visa is canceled?
Let me be once again clear here, both visa and labor card have been canceled because the case is already in the execution stage, the Ministry of Labor closed the case and canceled his card, after which the visa was canceled.
I want the employee (actually now ex-employee) to leave the country. If he is reluctant about the same, can I file an absconding against him?
Please advise.
Thanks

ماذا أفعل إذا طلب صاحب العمل السابق نسخة التأشيرة الجديدة للموظف؟
10
س: مرحبًا يا سيدي،
تم فصلي في 20 يناير 2020 في اليوم الثاني من وصولي من الإجازة. لقد منحوني فترة سماح لمدة شهرين لاستخدام نفس التأشيرة للبحث عن وظيفة وأيضًا لتسوية مستحقاتي.
بحلول أبريل، ألغوا تأشيرة المنطقة الحرة الخاصة بي. لم أحصل على أي وظيفة حتى ديسمبر 2020 وبحلول هذا الوقت كانت جائحة كورونا قد بدات، لذلك بقيت أبحث عن وظيفة. بعد عام تقريبًا، حصلت على وظيفة. طوال العام كنت عاطلاً عن العمل.
بعد مرور عام ونصف تقريبًا، يهددني مندوب العلاقات العامة القديم الخاص بي إذا لم أقدم نسخة التأشيرة الجديدة الخاصة بي، فسوف يرفعون ضدي قضية هروب.
أنا في حيرة من أمري. كيف يمكن حتى بعد عام ونصف أنهم يريدون تأشيرتي لاسترداد بعض الأموال أو رفع قضية ضدي؟
يرجى تقديم المشورة بشأن هذا الأمر.
أنا محبط تمامًا.

How to file a case against my former company for unpaid salary I was not on their visa? 0
Dear Legal Advice Middle East,
I hope you are well.
I am seeking legal advice regarding an unpaid salary issue with my former employer, [-----]2 LLC. I was employed with them from December 4, 2024, to January 7, 2025, on a monthly salary of 5,000 AED.
However, I only received a partial payment of 2,473 AED on February 24, 2025. The remaining 2,527 AED is still unpaid.
I submitted a complaint to MOHRE on March 2, 2025, but I am unable to proceed further through their official channels.
This is because I was working under the visa of my previous employer, [---] LLC, and not under [----]’s sponsorship.
As a result, I do not meet the criteria to file a labor complaint via the MOHRE app or hotline.
Given this situation, I would appreciate your guidance on how I can legally pursue the recovery of my remaining salary, considering the complications related to my visa status during the employment.

عرض الجميعCan the employer force the housmaid to work for unlimited hours without rest? 0
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.

My previous organization has not yet released EOSB because I contacted a client. Is this legal? 0
I recently joined a new organization in the Hamriyah Free Zone, and my previous organization has not released my end-of-service benefits.
The HR has instructed the finance team not to do so because I had contacted one of their clients.
In my DMCC contract, there is no Non-Compete clause, but the offer letter has one, and now they are not releasing the end-of-service.
Is this legal? What are my rights?

My employer holds my passport and asks for visa expenses to cancel it. Should I pay? 7
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am an expatriate in Dubai. I joined a company in Dubai, and my contract started in November 2023. It is a limited contract. Due to some issues with the management, they informed me that I would have to leave the company in March 2024, which I did.
Upon asking them to cancel my visa so I can return home, they said I have to pay around 5000 AED towards the visa expenses. I have asked them for the exact amount, but they haven’t provided it yet.
My passport is with them. I would like to check whether I have to pay the visa expense to them.
Since I am not aware of the formalities, I haven’t approached the Labour Department to get my passport back to leave. I fear they may cause more trouble if I initiate a complaint.
I would like to seek your valuable advice on how to proceed to claim my passport and exit UAE.
Please help!
