إنهاء عقد العمل بسبب إعادة هيكلة الشركة
3
س: مرحبًا سيدتي،
طاب يومك،
أتمنى أن تكوني بخير.
تم إنهاء خدمتي من الشركة بسبب إعادة هيكلة الشركة وأعطوني فترة إشعار مدتها شهر واحد. أنا على عقد غير محدد المدة، مع شركة خاصة في دبي.
ما هي المستحقات التي سأحصل عليها مع هذا الإنهاء الذي أعتقد أنه فصل تعسفي؟
أتمنى أن تتمكني من مساعدتي.
شكرًا لك.
مع أطيب التحيات،

دعوى الفصل التعسفي لإنهاء الخدمة بسبب إعادة الهيكلة

2
س: طاب يومك،
لدي سؤال حول إنهاء عقد العمل الخاص بي في دولة الإمارات.
لقد تم إخطاري شفهيًا بإنهاء عقد العمل الخاص بي بسبب الزيادة عن حاجة العمل في السادس من أكتوبر دون طلب قضاء فترة الإشعار. ينص عقد العمل على قضاء فترة إشعار مدتها شهرين.
لم يتم تقديم الإشعار الكتابي إلا في الرابع من ديسمبر. ترفض الشركة دفع مكافأة نهاية الخدمة وبدل الإجازة خلال فترة الإشعار وسيتم حساب المستحقات حتى يوم السادس من أكتوبر فقط.
هل هذا الحساب صحيح؟ كيف سيؤثر عدم استلام إشعار كتابي على هذا الأمر، حيث أعتقد أن فترة الإشعار يجب أن تبدأ عند استلام هذا الإشعار؟
ثانيًا، الخطاب الخاص بالزيادة عن حاجة عن العمل الذي كان بعنوان "إشعار للزيادة عن حاجة العمل"، تم تسميته "إعادة الهيكلة الضرورية".
اكتشفت بعد ذلك أنه تم تعيين شخص آخر في منصبي ولكن تم تغيير المسمى الوظيفي.
يبدو أن التسلسل الإداري ومسؤوليات العمل ستظل كما هي بناءً على ما سمعته من زملائي السابقين.
هل يُعد هذا فصلاً تعسفيًا؟

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?

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 الجميعI purchased a rented apartment in Abu Dhabi. Can I evict the tenant immediately if there is no Tawtheeq contact? 0
I recently purchased a rented apartment in Abu Dhabi and agreed to honor the existing lease. After the transfer, I discovered that the lease is not a Tawtheeq contract, meaning it is not officially registered.
Since I am not receiving rent (as it was a non-refundable arrangement with the seller), I prefer not to issue a new Tawtheeq. I also want to avoid a formal notice to vacate to prevent disputes, as I plan to move in.
However, I have already informed the tenant that I will not be renewing the lease. I need legal advice on the implications of proceeding without a Tawtheeq contract.
What are my risks, especially if the tenant refuses to move out?
What legal actions, if any, can the tenant take in this situation?

What to do if you get terminated and denied gratuity for a minor mistake? 0
My brother has been working for a company for 11 years. In the last 3 weeks, he had an incident/accident and scratched a plane since he only had 1 person to assist him as the company was not hiring enough people.
Senior staff like him are working more to train inexperienced new hires which adds to their workload working almost 12 hours/day including travel to DWC.
The pilot said it was aesthetic and could be painted over but a police investigation ensued. Last week 3 managers and HR talked him down as the investigation concluded.
He was terminated immediately with only this month's pay and his 11-year gratuity will not be given by the company. It was not gross negligence or malicious intent, he just didn’t have enough people to help him.
He owned up to the mistake and reported the incident within 24 hours. Can he fight for the gratuity?

We performed services as the official channel partner for a free zone that did not pay our commission. What to do? 0
Hello everyone,
I’m seeking professional legal opinions regarding an ongoing dispute we are facing with a free zone authority in the UAE.
We are an official channel partner for the Free Zone and have generated several clients and successful business registrations through our efforts.
Despite fulfilling our responsibilities as per the agreement, the Free Zone has not released our due commission.
It's been several months now, and we've experienced repeated delays, vague justifications, and non-committal responses from their end. It appears they are intentionally using delaying tactics.
We are exploring our legal options now and would appreciate guidance on the following:
What legal steps can be taken in such a case in the UAE?
Is this considered a breach of contract or unfair commercial practice?
Would it be advisable to send a legal notice first, or directly approach the relevant dispute resolution authority?

I bought a property and the seller sent the tenant an eviction notice but he refuses to leave. What to do? 0
I bought an investment property last year on the condition that the landlord serve the 12-month notice specifically for the purpose of selling the unit and gave the tenant the notice.
The landlord sent a court notice of 12 months for selling the property which was sold to me.
Plus at the time of renewing the lease with the new landlord (myself) during these 12 months. It was mentioned in the contract that the landlord will not renew.
It was also mentioned that the validity of the contract is until the date of court notice.
The landlord sold the property as per the notice.
The tenant got their 12 months. Now the tenant is refusing.

Is a 3-month notice for non-renewal of our warehouse lease valid? 1
Hello,
We would like to ask for legal advice. Our company is currently renting a warehouse, and our contract ends in June. We have just received an email from the landlord stating that they do not wish to renew our contract once it expires.
Please note that we were informed through a regular email, not via an Emirates Post registered email or Dubai Courts. They mentioned that they will use the warehouse for their own purposes.
May I know if this is allowed, considering we were given only three months' notice?
As I understand, a one-year notice is required for eviction. Does our case fall under eviction?
I look forward to your response, as we would like to explore our options.
