س: مرحبًا، أعمل حارس أمن في شركة خاصة. انتهت صلاحية بطاقة العمل الخاصة بي في ١٦ يناير ٢٠٢٢، لكن تأشيرتي وهويتي ساريتان حتى مايو ٢٠٢٤. هل يمكنني إلغاء تأشيرتي، أم عليّ تقديم شكوى إلى وزارة الموارد البشرية والتوطين إذا رفض صاحب العمل دفع الغرامة عن بطاقة العمل منتهية الصلاحية أو تجديدها؟ أرجو الإفادة!

Q: Hi, I left the UAE on February 6th. I am on an employment visa in Dubai. The company has closed down, and the owner has gone back to his home country. Will my labor card be canceled automatically once I am outside the country for 6-8 months? Once my Dubai visa expires outside the country, can I re-enter on a new visa? Does the visa or labor card automatically get canceled if an employee is out of the country for 6-8 months and their visa also expires while outside the country? Or do I still need to cancel my labor card? PS: I learned that my labor card expired in 2021. So, will the labor card and visa still get canceled, or does someone have to come and do that? I do not want to file a salary case against the company, nor do I want any legal action. I am considering coming back on a new visa after my old visa gets canceled. I wanted to know if the old visa and labor card will get canceled automatically by then since I will be out of the country for 8 months and my visa will also expire while I am outside the country.

Q: Hi, I have been working in a company for more than 1 and a half years. They provided me with a visa, Emirates ID, and everything. Also, my offer letter has been submitted, and I got my work permit for 2 months initially. However, now I checked the MOHRE app and found that my labor card has not been submitted until now. When I asked my colleagues, some of them are in the same situation. What consequences might I face if caught by the government? Also, what can I do right now to submit my labor contract by the employer? If I file a complaint, will it be confidential?

Q: Hi, My employer has still not updated my labor card, and it still shows as expired in MOHRE and UAE Pass, even though my Emirates ID and residence visa are valid. When I checked the fine on the labor card, it was 400 AED. I have informed the PRO and the employer about this problem several times, but they are ignoring it. I am now considering resignation with a notice period according to protocols. Is this 400 AED fine on me or them? Please guide me!

The provisions of this Law, known as "UAE Labour Law", govern the relationship between employers and employees and other labour matters in the United Arab Emirates. There are special labour related regulations applicable in some of the free zones in the UAE.

This Decree sets the rules and conditions for the termination of fixed-term (limited) or unlimited (not term-bound) employment contract between employer and worker in the United Arab Emirates.

The provisions of this Decree-Law, known as "New UAE Labor Law", govern labour relations in the private sector of the United Arab Emirates. The New Labor Law repeals the previous UAE Labor Law (Federal Law No. (8) of 1980).
