6 متاح 6 • عرض الجميعCan the employer ask me to pay my visa costs if I resign during the probation period?
Q: I am on a limited contract and rendering my 30-day notice. I am in my 4th month and still under the probationary period.
My internal contract says that if I resign in less than a year, I have to pay the visa costs. But on the other hand, the contract that was submitted to labor doesn't have a clause about the visa costs.
Is it valid for them to let me pay the visa costs?
Will I get banned if I don't pay?

التزام العامل بدفع التكاليف المتعلقة بعملية التوظيف
س: طلب مني صاحب العمل السابق أن أرد إليه مصاريف تأشيراتي، وتكاليف الاختبارات الطبية، ورسوم شركة التوظيف، والشقة (كان داخلًا ضمن المنافع) وتكلفة السيارة (داخلة أيضًا ضمن المنافع).
يضايقونني الآن لكي أرد مصاريف الشقة بشيكات مؤجلة الدفع، ولكن تم إلغاء تأشيرتي وأنا الآن وسط عملية الحصول على تأشيرة جديدة مع صاحب عمل جديد.
هل يجب علي دفع أي شيء؟
(مزيد من المعلومات: كنت على عقد محدد المدة حيث خدمت فترة الإخطار لمدة 30 يومًا وأنهي عقدي مبكرًا، ولم تكن الشقة مملوكة لصاحب عملي السابق، حيث أنه يؤجرها لي من الباطن).

My employment contract with the company is not signed by me. Is it still considered valid?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a tennis coach in Dubai. I have been with my company for 9 months and am seeking to resign. I have been approached for a position with another company.
I am yet to receive an offer of employment. I would like to enquire if the issues I have with my company as stated below are legal:
1. My original employment contract between myself and the company is not signed by me. Is it deemed valid?
2. I also noticed that my job description differs from my employment contract (tennis coach) and visa (telecommunication assistant).
3. My employer has deducted funds from my salary for visa contributions that they state I am liable for. Is this correct?
4. Can I resign with immediate effect, and what are the implications thereof?
5. If yes, what is the process I need to follow?
5. What do I need to have in place before I resign?

I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency and it was canceled two days before Eid. What to do?
I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency two weeks before Eid. The travel agency confirmed the booking on payment.
One day before Eid, the agency reached out, saying they had an issue with the supplier/hotel and the booking would be cancelled.
They offered alternative hotels that didn’t match the original property. I suggested some properties, and they couldn’t arrange them, or they asked for further payment, so I didn’t book anything through them.
What are my rights to a refund and compensation, as I had to book other arrangements separately at a significantly higher cost due to the last-minute prices?
It also caused significant emotional distress, less than 24 hours before the holiday. To which authority can a complaint be made in case of an unsatisfactory outcome?
Both the agency and the hotel are in Dubai.

If a bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts. Is a travel ban automatically applied?
A bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts due to nonpayment of a personal loan and credit card.
Is a travel ban automatically applied?
I looked on the Dubai Courts website, and it says the judge has issued a “reserved” order for my case.
Furthermore, when the bank emails, they threaten me with a travel ban. So I am assuming there is no travel ban issued (but I don’t know). I haven’t received any notice of a travel ban.
If there is a travel ban, how do I find out?
I have checked the Dubai police app, and there are no financial crimes against me.
Please advise if you know.
