Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I recently filed a complaint with MOHRE and received a call from them today asking for my claims. I am working as an electrical engineer under a limited contract.
My start date was March 10, 2022, but my labor contract was not completed until April 24, 2022.
- My offer letter states that my salary is 25,000 AED per month, but my employer made my labor contract state that my salary is 15,000 AED per month. The employer has paid me partial salaries as he wished, sometimes 25,000 AED and sometimes 15,000 AED. As of today, my partial/pending salaries total 150,000 AED in 14 months of service.
- The employer has failed to provide me with medical health insurance. Also, as per my offer letter, the employer agreed to provide medical health insurance to my family. However, the employer has failed to reimburse me for any submitted bills.
- The employer has failed to pay my annual leave.
In such a scenario, what will happen with MOHRE? Can I resign and join a new company without affecting my settlement claim?
Should I apply for 1-month leave as per my right and look for a new job?

حساب مستحقات نهاية الخدمة في حالة العمل لشركة واحدة في دول مختلفة
2
س: كنت أعمل في فرنسا لصالح شركة وتم نقلي إلى الإمارات مع نفس الشركة. كجزء من عملية النقل، استقلت من منصبي الفرنسي ووقعت عقدًا محليًا جديدًا للمنصب الجديد.
أصدر صاحب العمل خطابًا يذكر فيه الاستقالة ومزايا المنصب الجديد بالإضافة إلى الإشارة بوضوح إلى أن عملي في الشركة مستمر (أي أن تاريخ البدء مع الشركة لا يزال هو نفسه تاريخ البدء في فرنسا).
لقد استقلت الآن من منصبي في الإمارات وأنا في منتصف فترة الإشعار.
لقد ناقشت مع قسم حسابي تفاصيل مكافأة نهاية الخدمة ووجدت أنهم لا يأخذون في الاعتبار تاريخ البدء الفرنسي ولكن تاريخ بدء الإمارات العربية المتحدة في حساباتهم.
ينص الخطاب بالإضافة إلى الإجراءات الداخلية المتعددة للشركة بوضوح على أنه عند حدوث نقل داخلي، يحسب تاريخ الالتحاق منذ البداية.
نظرًا لأنني أُجبرت على الاستقالة من عقدي الفرنسي، لم أحصل على أي مكافأة عن سنوات العمل.
يرجى تقديم النصيحة.

What's the official employment start date, and is a termination notice required if the contract isn’t renewed?




2
Q: Hello,
Which date is considered the official start date for employees in a company: is it the date stamped by MOHRE on the contract, or the date the residence visa is issued?
Additionally, which date should we use to begin calculating the end-of-service benefits?
Is it mandatory to provide written notice of termination for employees after their contract ends, especially if the company does not intend to renew the contract?
Thank you for your assistance!

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 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 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!

Landlord cashed my rent but won’t renew Ejari unless I accept a higher deposit. What should I do? 0
Hello,
I had a rental dispute case with my landlord. Based on the judgment, I paid the entire rent to the landlord, which the landlord has already cashed.
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.
Please let me know what I should do.

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?

I purchased a tour voucher from a holiday agency in Dubai and could not use due to a visa issue. Can I still claim it? 0
I purchased a tour voucher from a holiday agency in Dubai in 2023 worth AED 4239.00, but was not able to use it due to a visa problem.
I have constant email and communication through phone with them, and they informed me back then that my voucher will be available and has no expiration date that I can use anytime I want.
Now I wanted to use it, so I called them last Saturday, 31st May 2025, and they told me it has already expired due to the new policy.
Can I still claim and ask for my money back?
