Q: I was working without a visa, and without insurance for 10 months. My current employer knows from the beginning that I have problems with my previous company, as they didn't cancel my visa. Then I had troubles with overstay. Our PRO first told me not to do anything, and then refused to help me. In the end, my employer said they will help me cancel everything and make a new visa for me, but it takes time. I paid my fine in immigration and I paid in labour. Even when I get the visa, the insurance company is asking me also to pay because I had no insurance. I should pay now for everything, and they even don't show a proof me for what. I was working with them, and they should provide me insurance and visa from the beginning. They should have the quota and the PRO could help me from the beginning. They are cutting my salary without informing me before,  and not in small amounts. It is the third month now, and I have no proof of what. What can  I   do?

Q: Hello, I resigned from my job a few days ago due to health reasons, and my employer does not provide us with health insurance. Can he hold me committed to a 90-day notice period when my labor rights to have insurance have been violated? Would I get in trouble if I only served 30 days?

Q: Hello, I've been working for this company for a little over a year now, and my employer hasn't provided me with medical insurance yet. Since I have chronic asthma, I used to take leaves to rest my body and get better. I wasn't able to get sick leaves except for two occasions (in which I've paid for one and one has been reimbursed). Last week I noticed that 1000 was deducted from my salary. I went to talk to my employer and told him that it was unfair because due to not having medical insurance, this was the outcome of the situation. He told me that I have till March to find another job and made it seem as if he was doing me a favor. I know I have the right to have insurance and he is breaking the law. What could be done in this case? Though I've wanted to avoid this route, the unfairness is too much. Thank you.

Q: Hello, My employer has not renewed my insurance since October 2024. Is it possible to resign without serving the notice period? Will I still receive my gratuity? Apparently, their trade license is also expired. We are in a free zone.

Q: Dear Sir/ Ma’am, I am writing to know what I should do if a Dubai mainland company is not renewing my medical health insurance. I sent an email to the company as well, but they are not responding. Please kindly advise! Thanks!
