Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
My contract expired on December 22, and I gave a non-renewal notice on December 4. As per the employer's request, I worked until January 15.
After that, they are holding my cancellation. My visa is valid until the end of January. I need to go back to my home country for some medical purposes before January 19.
Is that possible, or if they do not allow it, what should I do?

عدم تجديد عقد العمل محدد المدة دون سابق إنذار بعد تأكيد تجديده

6
س: لقد كنت أعمل لدى مغسلة ملابس تجارية في إمارة أبو ظبي خلال العامين الماضيين.
انتهت صلاحية تأشيرتي في 15 مايو 2021. قبل عدة أيام، سألني مديري وكذلك إدارة الموارد البشرية عن رغبتي في التجديد وقلت "نعم" وأخبروني أيضًا أنهم يريدون ذلك.
في الوقت الحالي، أخبرني مدير الشركة أنهم لن يجددوا عقدي (عقد محدد مدته عامين). لم يتم تقديم أي معلومات أو إشعار لي حتى الآن وما زلت أعمل لدى الشركة رغم انتهاء صلاحية بطاقة الهوية الإماراتية والتأشيرة الخاصة بي.
من الصعب العثور على وظيفة خلال أيام. كان من الأفضل لو أخبروني بذلك قبل 30 يومًا على الأقل من تاريخ انتهاء صلاحية التأشيرة، حتى أتمكن من البحث عن وظيفة أخرى.
ما هي الإجراءات القانونية التي يمكنني اتخاذها ضد الشركة لأن هذه ليست الطريقة الصحيحة لإلغاء تأشيرتي دون إخباري في الوقت المناسب؟

عرض الجميعHow can I refund the amount of online tickets in Dubai for fraudulant misrepresentation? 0
Last Friday, I was booking tickets for the Miracle Garden on some Dubai tickets website, and on the OTP page, it showed 225 to be paid on my phone. The otp was added automatically, and I couldn't read the message properly. It turns out 4,225 got deducted from my account.
I immediately called the bank, and they said they can't reverse the transaction, fill out the dispute resolution form, etc. Even tho the transaction was in process today, the transfer shows complete.
Is there a way to get it back?
I registered an online complaint with the Central Bank and cybersecurity. I really need the money with my rent coming up, please guide me.

What to do if someone impersonated an employee in the company I own and got mobile lines and phones? 0
Someone impersonated an employee in the company I have owned since 2012 and extracted 18 mobile lines in addition to several iPhones.
I was surprised that the company cut off our landline and mobile communications on the pretext that he was monitoring a debt of 167,000 dirhams.
This person was arrested, tried, found guilty, and sentenced to deportation. However, the telecommunications company is still demanding from my company and pursuing me because of this debt that we are not to blame for.
How can this matter be resolved?

How long does it take for a bounced cheque case to be closed after a settlement? 0
Hello,
I had a cheque bounce case filed against me in Dubai, but I’ve now settled it with the complainant. The case has been with the Public Prosecution, and I’ve already submitted the notarized settlement documents.
It’s been 5 days since submission, and when I checked with the legal team, they couldn’t give me a clear timeline on how long it might take for the case to be withdrawn and for me to receive clearance.
Does anyone here have experience with this process? How long did it take for your case to be closed after submitting the notarized withdrawal request? Should I expect it to be done in a few days, or could it take longer?
Thanks in advance!

How can victims file a group case for fraud, bounced cheques, and misuse of credit cards? 0
Hello,
I would like to ask for legal advice regarding a fraud case in Abu Dhabi involving multiple victims. The suspect issued bounced cheques, received AED with a promise to exchange it into IDR but failed to deliver, misused other people’s credit cards, and operated an unlicensed travel/tour business.
Many clients paid for Umrah or vacation packages that never happened. The total loss is significant, and many victims have evidence such as WhatsApp chats, bank transfers, and bounced cheques.
We believe this involves a breach of trust and embezzlement. We would like to know if we can file a group case, what legal steps to take, and the cost of legal representation.
Thank you!

عرض الجميعHow to waive or reduce the penalty for my expired company license and cancel it? 0
Dear Lawyer
I hope this message finds you well.
I set up a business license in a free zone in 2023. Unfortunately, the license expired in September 2024, and due to being occupied with other matters, I was not aware of the penalties associated with the expiration.
I recently attempted to cancel the license but was informed that a significant penalty has accrued. When I inquired about cancelling my visa first, I was told that it’s not possible to proceed without addressing the license issue.
Could you please advise if there is any legal way to waive or reduce this penalty?
I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to resolve this situation with minimal cost.

What notice to follow while resigning if there is contradiction, the company contract or MOHRE contract? 0
I'm trying to resign from my company and found out there's incorrect information between my employment contract, my government contract, and the employee handbook.
I was under the impression of having a week's notice period but I'm being told it's 3 months and I'm losing a month's worth of salary.
On top of that, it's showing a non-compete clause for the same industry. I'm trying to change companies in the same industry, how much of an issue is that?

Is the employee responsible for the expenses of changing his visa status from tourist to employment? 0
My friend is currently in the UAE on a visit visa and has received a job offer from a company.
However, the employer is asking him to pay for the visa status change from a visit/tourist visa to an employment visa since he is inside the country.
According to UAE labor law, who is responsible for covering these charges—the employee or the employer?
