Dear Questioner, Yes, it is possible to amend an employee's contract if their compensation has been reduced from their previous salary. However, this must be done with the employee's consent and in accordance with the UAE labor laws. The employer must provide a valid reason for the reduction in salary and the employee must agree to the new terms and conditions.

Can an employee's contract be changed if their pay is lowered?

تخفيض الراتب بسبب الجائحة الحالية والمطالبة باستعادة الراتب العادي

س: مرحبًا، أنا وافد أعمل لدى شركة في العراق مسجلة ومقرها إمارة دبي. في بداية الوباء، تم تخفيض الراتب بنسبة 35٪ لمدة لا تقل عن ستة أشهر. ما زلت في هذا الوضع حتى اليوم، وأريد أن أسال عن مشروعية هذا، حيث أعتقد أن الشركة التي أعمل بها كانت تواجه المشاكل قبل الوباء وهذه حجة جيدة لتخفيض الرواتب. أعتقد أيضًا أن الشركة قد بدأت نشاطًا تجاريًا إضافيًا خلال هذه الفترة مما يثير التساؤلات حول الادعاء بمواجهة صعوبات بسبب الوباء. شكرًا لك على المساعدة.

What can I do if my company is pressuring me to sign an unfair new contract?

Q: Dear Lawyers, I joined a company in Dubai. According to the contract agreement given to me by the company, if I leave before the fixed contract period, I have to give two months' notice and pay a sum of 6000 dirhams. I agreed to this and continued to work under that agreement. However, the company has now introduced a new contract agreement, and all employees are under pressure to sign it. The new conditions state that no employee can take a similar job in the UAE and must agree to pay USD 3500 (AED 12600) upon leaving during the contract period. What actions can I take regarding the unfairness of this situation?

The public prosecution appealed a judgment to increase the fine I already paid. What do I do now?

Good afternoon, Thank you for your time. The public prosecution appealed my judgment (a fine that I satisfactorily cleared) and requested increasing the fine. Can you please explain what happens during a criminal case appeal hearing for me as a defendant? Will I be asked questions? Is the hearing just for the Public Prosecution to present their appeal to the judge, and I do not need to give a response? Thank you again for your time.
