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!

I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency and it was canceled two days before Eid. What to do? 0
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.

Can I request reopening a civil case if the judgment was in my absence due to sending notices to the wrong address? 0
Lawyers misunderstood my question. Please read carefully and then guide me.
Case Type: Civil Case
Claim amount: 400,000
Paid: 65,000
Reason: Commercial agreement of supply
Emirate: Ajman
This case was registered in 2022. The judgment was in my absence, as notices were sent to the wrong address.
I was sent to jail. I made a down payment, bailed, and paid some more amount as installments. The total paid amount is AED 65000.
Now, again, an arrest warrant is issued as I did not pay the remaining 335,000 of the claim.
According to me, I had to pay only this amount because the executioner made a wrong claim, not as per the genuine claim.
So I want to reopen the case file.
I want the court to reinvestigate and start the case from scratch.
1) How can I make that request?
2) What documents are required?
3) Chances of reopening of case?
4) Cancellation of arrest warrant
Please guide me in detail, as I will do everything myself, as I cannot afford a lawyer right now.

If a bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts. Is a travel ban automatically applied? 0
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.

How to legally receive income from crypto trading without raising any concerns? 0
Hello,
Hope this message finds you well!
I am seeking legal advice regarding my financial situation as a forex trader living in the UAE under a sponsor work visa. Currently, I do not work for any company and earn my income primarily through cryptocurrency trading.
However, I would like to ensure that I can legally receive and withdraw approximately AED 15,000 per month into my UAE bank account without raising any suspicion from the bank.
My main concerns are:
I am a forex trader and earn money through cryptocurrency, which I then exchange into fiat currency (AED). How can I ensure that the process of depositing this income into my bank account is transparent and compliant with UAE laws to avoid any issues with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations?
Since I do not have a formal job or salary, how should I go about documenting or explaining my income to the bank to avoid any red flags regarding the source of my funds?
Are there any specific steps I need to take to ensure my deposits are compliant?

How to file an online defamation case from the Philippines against someone in Dubai? 0
Hello,
I'm currently looking for legal advice regarding an online defamation case. I am a Filipino citizen currently residing in the Philippines. The person I want to file a complaint against is also a Filipino citizen and is currently based in Dubai.
I have already sought legal consultation, but it cost me a lot for just a simple session. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can afford to proceed with the fees required for sending a warning or demand letter to the person I’m complaining about.
I would really appreciate any help, guidance, or information about possible free or low-cost legal services.
Thank you for your time!

Can the owner of a company escape if there is a cheque execution and travel ban on him? 0
I raised a cheque execution case against a company and its owner and won. There is a travel ban on him. I was receiving installments for three months and now he stopped paying.
The court after request summoned him. In total, he paid only 30% of the owed money. I found that his company license is expired and also in the month his visa will expire.
Does he have any option to avoid payment?
Please note he was deceived by showing no money in his bank account and no assets in his name but he is running multiple businesses.
Also a month ago, he tried to convince me to lift the travel ban but I refused to do so. But he submitted a guarantee and left UAE.
Now the status shows he is back in the UAE and the travel ban imposed again. But after that, he stopped payment.
Is there a 1% chance of him not paying me the remaining money?
Is there a way he can leave the country through the Amnesty program or any of this sort?

Can a developer demand extra payment for a 30% size increase after handover? 0
Hello,
I purchased a one-bedroom off-plan unit in Dubai from a well-known developer under an SPA specifying an area of 801 sq. ft. I completed all payments as per the developer’s payment plan, and the unit was handed over to me without a Title Deed.
After taking possession, furnishing the unit, signing a tenancy contract, and making repeated follow-ups to obtain my Title Deed, the developer informed me, 45 days after handover, that the actual area was 1,041.41 sq. ft., a 30% increase from the original SPA terms.
To receive my Title Deed, they are now demanding payment for the increased size.
Key issues:
- Failure to notify me before handover about the 30% increase in area.
- The SPA allows for price adjustments for area variations but specifies that such adjustments must be reflected in the final installment, which I had already fully paid before handover.
- The developer has now filed a legal case through Dubai Courts, demanding payment.
I require legal advice based on RERA/DLD laws and the SPA.
