Can my employer threaten me with a case for a loan I took from company for taking sick leave?


1
Q: Good evening Sir/Madam.
I am S.
I didn't go to work like 2 weeks because I got sick. I already informed my manager. But I don't go hospital because my insurance did not cover all medicine and treatment.
I got hemorrhoids. After that, I got the flu but am still not well with hemorrhoids. I already informed my manager and I went to the office sometime. And I explained to them that I was not well.
After that, my manager said to me he would cancel my visa and put me in jail because I took a loan of AED 3500 from the company.
I already paid AED 1500 and still have to pay AED 2000. He said within one week I should have to pay, and if I did not pay, he would file a case and put me in jail.
Can I know if they can do this?
After that, I opened a case file in the labor office of my incident and I already have the case file number. Now, they can cancel my visa. Can they do this?
I am sorry Sir/Madam because I don't know English very well.

فتح شكوى جنائية ضد موظف بسبب خداعه صاحب العمل
4
س: أنا أسأل نيابة عن الشركة.
كان لدينا موظف مدير العمليات. قدّم سيدة لشركتنا على أنها ستحصل لنا على مشروع كبير وعلينا أن ندفع لها 250000 درهم إماراتي كأتعاب استشارية.
لقد ترددنا، ولكن كما قال إنه واثق من هذا الأمر، ومن ثم فقد وثقنا به ووافقنا في نهاية المطاف. أخذت السيدة أموالنا وهربت إلى الهند.
ذهبنا وراءها إلى الهند ورفعنا قضية هناك، ومنذ حدوث هذه المشكلة، أراد مدير العمليات مغادرة الشركة بطريقة وأظهر عدم اهتمامه بالعمل.
في الآخر أراد منا ان نلغي تأشيرته ويقول إنه لن يساعدنا في استرداد الأموال من هذه السيدة ولا في قضية الشرطة. نحن الآن نشك في أنه قد حصل على منفعة من وراء هذه الصفقة، حيث أنه يجبرنا على إلغاء تأشيرته.
يرجى مساعدتنا هل نستطيع فتح شكوى جنائية ضده.

What can I do if my company is pressuring me to sign an unfair new contract? 1
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?

Can I return to Dubai by paying only the court fine for a 2016 debt case? 1
Dear Sir,
I hope this message finds you well!
I am writing to seek your advice regarding a debt case filed in 2016 in the UAE. The debt amounts to approximately 45,000 AED (20,000 AED cheque amount and 25,000 AED credit card amount).
The associated interest has now possibly exceeded 150,000 AED. I have recently secured a job in Dubai and am eager to return; however, I am currently unable to pay the full debt amount.
I am aware of a court fine of 5,000 AED. I would like to understand if there is any possibility of returning to Dubai by paying only this court fine and lawyer fee.
Could you please advise on any available legal avenues or procedures that may allow me to resolve this matter and return to Dubai under these circumstances?
Your guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and assistance!

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!

How 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.

Can we file a case against a customer who launched a campaign online against our business reputation? 0
Hello,
A customer based in Dubai booked a public experience online on the website of a reputable business based in Dubai.
The customer came to the business location, the team was ready to provide the experience as per her booking.
The customer started to shout loudly, claiming that she was expecting a private experience. She refused to do the experience and left. Then she started calling the Management claiming a refund.
The Management explained that as per the T&Cs, experiences booked online are public. The Management offered as a goodwill gesture to refund the customer after deducting the cost of preparations that were paid by the business to set up the experience. The customer refused.
The customer used her Instagram account and as an influencer + Google review to launch a campaign against the business reputation, inciting her audience/people not to use the business services. She used signs of alert/warnings.
Is there a law that punishes such public incitement in the UAE?

How 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.

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!

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?

What's next if a tenant won't pay or vacate despite winning the case in RDC court? 2
Dear Sir/Madam,
The tenant didn't pay rent for over 7 months. I filed a case, and finally won; the RDC court verdict is to evict the tenant and for them to pay all rent and legal fees.
I contacted the tenant, who refused to move out or pay. What's the next step? Do I file for execution via RDC, or will it be automatic? How much does it cost, and how long does it take?
The tenant is arrogant and said he will not pay until I proceed with execution from RDC, and then he will ask for a one-year payment plan!
The whole procedure is very unfriendly to the landlord, with the tenant risking nothing while the landlord incurs lawyer fees, interest losses, and significant time and effort.

He is not issuing the Ejari because he wants to increase the security deposit by 10% every year, which I am not accepting. I have already given the 5% security deposit.
The landlord is not accepting it. He is forcing me to sign a new agreement, otherwise he will not renew the lease agreement.
