Can I file a complaint against my employer for filing a false absconding report?

Dear questioner,

Yes, you can file a complaint with MOHRE if there are violations of labor laws or contract terms by your employer that affect you.

It would be better to discuss the matter in detail to provide accurate advice.

Dear Questioner,

Yes, even though the false absconding report was removed promptly, you still have the right to address the issue and potentially file a complaint against the company if you believe your rights have been violated.

Filing a false absconding report is a serious matter, and even if it was retracted, it can still have consequences for your reputation and employment prospects.

Here are steps you can consider:

1. Document Everything:

Ensure you have documentation of the false absconding report, its retraction, and any related communication with your employer.

2. Understand Your Rights:

Familiarize yourself with your rights as an employee under UAE labor laws. This includes protections against unfair treatment and retaliation.

3. Internal Resolution:

If possible, try to address the issue internally with your employer. Express your concerns and seek clarification on why the false report was filed and what steps will be taken to prevent it from happening again.

4. File a Complaint:

If you're unable to resolve the issue internally or if you believe your rights have been violated, you may consider filing a complaint with relevant authorities such as the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) in the UAE.

They can investigate the matter and take appropriate action if necessary.

5. Legal Assistance:

Consider seeking legal advice from a qualified lawyer who specializes in labor law. They can assess your situation, advise you on your rights, and help you navigate the complaint process if needed.

It's important to address the issue promptly to protect your rights and ensure fair treatment in the workplace.
