How to deal with delaying salaries by the employer and false accusations of theft?
Can I ask for advice?
First, my employer didn't pay my salary on time and it's too much delayed.
Second, I didn't give a day off.
Third, she threatened us to pay for her lost sunglasses, even though we didn't know where they were and what they looked like.
We've been searching for it, but we couldn't find anything. She said she would cut the amount from our salary.
Hello,
In the UAE, employers are legally required to pay salaries on time. Delayed payment can be reported to the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE).
Employees are entitled to a day off each week as per UAE labor law.
Domestic workers may have specific regulations, but generally, regular rest periods are required.
Employers cannot legally deduct amounts from your salary for lost or damaged personal items.

Greeting,
If there are delays in salary payments, it is advisable to file a complaint with the Labor and Workers System and request your rights regarding unpaid salaries and compensation for leave days stipulated in your employment contract.
Additionally, the employer does not have the right to deduct any amount from your salary unless it is specified in the contract.
Best regards
