Q: I have a couple of labour issues.
I worked for a company for 7 months, and I was lied to regarding my visa status while I was working. It was said it was possessing while it was not, and I also received a false labour contract which I later found out.
Once I finally received my visa, I had a death in the family so I wanted to take my emergency leave.
My employer said it will be an unpaid leave, so I replied I thought I can get 30 days paid leave after my probation period, then he replied bring in your passport for termination.
I just needed to leave the country for 2 weeks for the funeral even if he would have said that he could not pay for the leave it would be ok, but by terminating me instead, I thought it was a wrongful termination.
When I came into the office they told me it was because of poor work performance, which was not true because I never received a prior documented notice with my signature regarding poor work performance.
What legal actions can I take towards this case?

ما هي السياسة المتعلقة بالإجازات السنوية المتراكمة في نهاية الخدمة؟
2
س: سيدتي العزيزة،
لدينا قضية لأحد الموظفين والذي انضم للعمل لدى الشركة في 12 ديسمبر 2018. إجازته المستحقة هي 22 يوم عمل في السنة.
لم يحصل على أي إجازة سنوية وسيغادر الشركة في 31 مايو 2021 (بعد أكثر من عامين وخمسة أشهر). هل يجب علينا الدفع مقابل جميع الإجازات السنوية المستحقة له منذ انضمامه للعمل لدينا حتى نهاية شهر مايو 2021؟
تتبع شركتنا سياسة نقل 10 أيام فقط من شهر ديسمبر من كل عام إلى العام التالي. وأي إجازة فوق هذه المدة تعتبر مُلغاة.
إذا كان هذا هو الحال، فإنه يحق له نقل 10 أيام فقط من شهر ديسمبر 2020 إلى يناير 2021. يرجى تقديم المشورة وفقًا لما ينص عليه قانون دولة الإمارات بشأن هذا الموضوع.
شكرًا لكِ.

كيفية ضمان حقي في الحصول على أيام الإجازة المتراكمة أو بدل نقدي عنها
1
س: سيدي العزيز،
أنا أعمل موظف بدوام كامل لدى إحدى الشركات في دولة الإمارات، ويحق لي الحصول على أسبوعين إجازة كل 10 أسابيع من العمل.
ومع ذلك، بسبب فيروس كورونا، لم أتمكن من الحصول على تلك الإجازة وتراكمت الإجازة لشهرين أو 61 يومًا بالإضافة إلى أربع تذاكر طيران.
سؤالي هو، هل يحق للشركة التي أعمل بها أن تلغي أيام الإجازة المتراكمة في بداية العام الجديد أم أنه يجب على الشركة أن تدفع لي مقابل تلك الأيام؟

Hello,
I am planning to change to another company and I am waiting for the offer. The visa from the current company is going to end in 2 months.
Should I inform them about my leaving? I haven’t received any offer yet, so I didn’t inform them, and they’re asking about the renewal every day.
Is it mandatory to inform them 2 months in advance?

Is a bounced rent cheque case considered a criminal record for U.S. visa applications? 0
Hello,
My rent cheque was bounced, and my landlord filed a case against me in Sharjah Court. I received a fine of 2,000 AED, which was later reduced to 1,000 AED upon appeal.
Does this case count as a criminal conviction under UAE law, or was it handled as a civil matter?
If I apply for a U.S. visa, will I need to submit court records under the requirement for applicants with past convictions?

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 الجميعDo I have to pay the value of training to the company in case of terminating the contract? 0
Salam,
My company has filed a complaint against me in MOHRE related to training fees.
This is the clause mentioned in my contract:
"The Second Party shall be obliged to pay back the value of the training (which is estimated at an amount of 10000 AED) when they terminate the employment contract based on their own free will (within One Year) from the date of commencement of their contract, without prejudice to the First Party's legal or contractual obligations. (the amount agreed on for the value of the training period must be commensurate with the employment period of the employee)"
My question is:
1. I served 11 months in the company. Can they demand the full 10,000 or it should be less due to 11 months (as per the last line of the clause)?
2. I didn't even get training from the company. I learned normally by working on projects with seniors. No training session was conducted for me. Should I still have to pay?
My case is in MOHRE.
Thanks
