Hello, Is it legal to reduce the salary after signing an employment contract?

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?

Hello, Is the following correct regarding transferring the UAE visa? The non-payment certificate issued by MOHRE can allow you to transfer your visa in the UAE, even if your case has not yet been registered in court. Here’s how it works: Non-Payment Certificate from MOHRE: - What It Is: The non-payment certificate from MOHRE confirms that your employer has failed to pay your wages or commissions, which is considered a violation of labor laws. - Importance: This certificate serves as proof that your employer is not fulfilling their obligations and supports your case for a visa transfer to a new employer. - MOHRE’s Role: MOHRE issues this certificate based on its mediation process with your employer. If your employer is uncooperative, refuses to pay, or fails to respond to MOHRE’s attempts to resolve the issue, MOHRE will issue the certificate.

Hello, Kindly advise how to renew a company's trade license without an Ejari when there is a disagreement with the landlord over the rental contract.

Hi, I need some guidance regarding a property transaction that is not progressing as expected. My broker initiated a manual Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between me (the Buyer) and the Seller, with an expiry date of 01/02/2025. Within this period, I successfully arranged the bank mortgage, property evaluation, and NOC. However, the broker started giving excuses, such as the seller being hospitalized. Later, the broker attempted to arrange a Power of Attorney (POA). However, after that, they started ignoring my messages and calls. It now seems like they no longer intend to proceed with me, and the MOU has already expired. Meanwhile, my bank EMI has already started, and I have paid two monthly installments. The broker is still unresponsive. I have raised multiple complaints through DLD RVS against the broker, but the response has been very slow and unsatisfactory. I’m feeling stuck and financially burdened. Please advise
