س: مرحبًا يا سيدي قدمت شركتي شكوى ضدي في الشرطة في 5 سبتمبر لكنهم أوقفوني عن العمل في 31 مايو. لم يدفعوا راتبي عن الفترة من مايو إلى سبتمبر. هل بإمكاني فتح قضية عمالية وأن أظل مقيمًا في الغرفة مجانًا حتى صدور قرار المحكمة؟ من فضلك، أرشدني إن كان لا يزال بإمكاني فتح قضية عمالية.

س: مرحبًا، قدّمتُ شكوى ضد صاحب العمل لعدم دفع راتبي والتسوية النهائية. وصلتني رسالة من وزارة الموارد البشرية والتوطين تفيد بأنهم تواصلوا مع صاحب العمل ورفض الدفع. في هذه الحالة، ماذا أفعل للحصول على التسوية النهائية؟

Q: I am the only employee in the company and my job included sales, marketing, accounting, administration and delivery. I worked using my own personal desktop, phone, internet connection and car since the company has not provided any. I started work in this Free Zone company on Dec 1, 2014, under unlimited contract and on my husband's visa. I have resigned last Dec 11, 2017, and served my 30 days’ notice period last Jan 11, 2018. My employer was supposed to pay the final settlement on my last day but then she re-scheduled to meet on Jan 14, then on January 16 and lastly on Jan 18. Just before the day of agreed final settlement, she accused me that all my previous work emails have been allegedly deleted. She filed a complaint of Breach of Contract on Jan 18 and I also filed a complaint about her delay in paying my end of service benefits. She has continuously intimidated me with her plans to file it in court. These false allegations have caused me and my family emotional distress. Please advise.

Q: Hello I was employed by a company in 2017 that failed to pay my salary. Since I urgently needed a new job to manage my expenses, the management gave me three cheques amounting to roughly 45,000. I signed the final settlement, which states that the remaining amount will be paid in cheques. Prior to me cashing the cheques, they had paid roughly 6,000 in cash. Since it's been a long time, I cannot locate the payment slip. Since they failed to pay the rest of the amount, I went ahead to cash the cheques and they bounced. I then registered a case with the Dubai police in April 2018. It's been nearly 7 years and the status on the Dubai Police site shows as "Awaiting approval/Bank reply". I have the following questions: 1. Is there any way to recover this amount? 2. What is the best option to pursue? Civil case or a labor case with the free zone? However, the company no longer exists as far as I know, how does it work? 3. What does the status awaiting approval/bank reply mean?
