Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I had an employment contract for 3 years, but I worked for only 6 months and then resigned. The employer refused to cancel my visa and asked me to pay the recruitment fee of 5,700 AED, which was to be paid by me and my new employer. I don't have the money to pay, and my new employer is not willing to pay for me. What can I do now? I have already complained to the UAE Labour.

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I recently filed a complaint with MOHRE and received a call from them today asking for my claims. I am working as an electrical engineer under a limited contract. My start date was March 10, 2022, but my labor contract was not completed until April 24, 2022. - My offer letter states that my salary is 25,000 AED per month, but my employer made my labor contract state that my salary is 15,000 AED per month. The employer has paid me partial salaries as he wished, sometimes 25,000 AED and sometimes 15,000 AED. As of today, my partial/pending salaries total 150,000 AED in 14 months of service. - The employer has failed to provide me with medical health insurance. Also, as per my offer letter, the employer agreed to provide medical health insurance to my family. However, the employer has failed to reimburse me for any submitted bills. - The employer has failed to pay my annual leave. In such a scenario, what will happen with MOHRE? Can I resign and join a new company without affecting my settlement claim? Should I apply for 1-month leave as per my right and look for a new job?
