Q: In a school setting where the date of joining is in August, should teachers be eligible for winter holiday pay in December, considering they have not completed probation? A: Winter holiday pay for teachers in the UAE depends on their individual employment contracts and school policies…

Dear Questioner, As per labor laws, the worker shall be entitled to official fully paid holidays on the official holidays. So you will be entitled to the official holiday pay even if you are under probation period. But it will be better to review your labor contracts to know if they mention anything additional or contrary.

Are teachers eligible for winter holiday pay in December after joining in August?

تمديد التأشيرة عند إنهاء الخدمة لحين انتهاء العام الدراسي

س: مرحبًا يا سيد ناصر، أنا على عقد غير محدد المدة بدأت في 8 أبريل وتم إنهاء خدمتي بفترة إخطار مدتها 3 أشهر تنتهي في 11 ديسمبر. وفقًا لمديري المباشر، قد أكملت فترة الاختبار الخاصة بي بالفعل. وحيث أنني لم أجد عملًا جديدًا حتى الآن، فقد سألت الموارد البشرية بالشركة إن كان بإمكاني الاحتفاظ بالتأشيرة لمدة شهر آخر فقط، وردوا بالرفض بشكل قاطع، وأشلروا إلى أنه وفقًا لسياسة الشركة لا يمكنهم ذلك. لقد أجريت القليل من المقابلات وكنت أنتظر الردود. وبما أن هذا هو موسم احتفالات عيد الميلاد حيث يغادر معظم الوافدين إلى أوطانهم، فإن الحصول على رد خلال هذا الوقت سيكون صعبًا للغاية، وبالتالي كنت قد طلبت التمديد لمدة شهر واحد. تتكون عائلتي من زوجتي وأنا وطفلين سيذهبان إلى المدرسة. ألا ينص قانون العمل في الإمارات العربية المتحدة على أية لوائح خاصة بالشخص الذي تم إنهاء خدمته ولديه أطفال ذاهبون إلى الدراسة في الفصل الأول من العام الدراسي؟ يرجى تقديم المشورة إذا كان هناك أي شيء يمكنني القيام به بشكل قانوني. شكرًا لك.

What can I do if my employment visa got rejected multiple times by CID?

Hi Everyone, I have been working in the UAE since 2019. Since 31 December 2024, I have been in my home country because my visa was rejected a couple of times. After waiting for 3 months, I found a new job in the UAE, but the employer told me again that the government did not approve my visa, and that was part of the CID approval. I would like to know if I can find something to clear my issues, which would allow me again to start my work in the UAE.

Terminated for performance issues without prior warning while on vacation. What should I do?

Hello Sir, I am facing an issue with my employer. I work in the private sector in the UAE, and my employment visa expires in June 2025. After two years, I traveled to my home country for vacation, and one week after my arrival, the company sent me an email terminating my employment due to performance issues. However, I was never given any prior warning or written notice. The termination email also did not mention any notice period or other details. I would like to know my rights and what I should do in this situation.

Changed my mind before signing the lease agreement. Are my post-dated rent checks at risk?

Hello, I recently found an apartment for rent and agreed with the agent to make payments in three installments. I provided the agent with post-dated checks for the second and third payments and planned to transfer the first payment, deposit, and agency fee to the agent’s account once the lease agreement was finalized. However, the lease agreement has not been finalized yet, and I have since found a better place. Since I have not signed any lease agreement, should I be concerned about the landlord cashing the checks for the second and third payments? Is it legal? Additionally, the agent requested an extra 2,000 dirhams beyond the amount he intended to include in the lease agreement.

I applied for immigration to Canada via an agency in Dubai without any progress. Can I claim refund?

I'm looking for advice- I had applied for immigration service to Canada via an agency in Dubai, however, it's been a few months and there is no positive reply from their end. They keep giving evasive answers, such as my job role is not coming up, or the Government has put the applications on hold, or other things which are totally different from the picture painted before availing their service. The contract mentions this about refund: "The company is eligible to provide a refund if any wrong information is provided during our advocacy while discussing the case with the consultant." My Question is- are such immigration consultancies legal in the UAE? Is it legal for them to provide such services? And am I eligible for a refund if not for damage claims (for wasting my time with their inefficient services)?

Can I hold the delivery of goods to a buyer outside the UAE if he defaulted on payment?

I, as a UAE-based Seller, entered a sales agreement with a KSA-based Buyer. The Buyer defaulted on the LC payment, breaching the contract. The goods are stuck at the port as they need original documents, which I am holding to recover the outstanding balance. They later made a partial payment but now threaten to cash the PBG (UAE bank) I provided if don't release the document. The contract mandates DIAC arbitration but lacks a governing law clause. I need advice on: 1. Which law applies to this dispute? 2. Where can I seek an injunction to prevent PBG encashment, given the Buyer’s bad faith and breach? Or should I send a letter to their bank with the brief above? Kindly advise.
