س: ما يقلقني هو: أنا أعمل بعقد غير محدد المدة منذ 5 أشهر وأريد الاستقالة الآن. في عقدي، مكتوب أنه لا توجد فترة إشعار، كما أنه غير مكتوب أن أدفع أي تأشيرة لهم خلال فترة الاختبار. هل هناك أي احتمال أن تحصل شركتي على تعويض مني؟

Q: Hi, I am now serving my notice period in the company in my probation period. However, they are asking me for a 7000 fee which I am not aware of. I was told that I agreed to this and signed the contract which is not true. I repeatedly requested a copy of my contract for months, yet I have not received any. Due to the lack of response, I checked the contract through the app and found that it was electronically signed. I do not recall signing this contract, nor did I receive any digital copy to sign. What should I do?

Q: Hi, I am working in a firm in Dubai for almost 3 months now. I have a probation period of 6 months as per my contract, however, I am currently not happy at the workplace. I am not under the company's visa. If I quit during the probation period, not for any new employment right away, but just because I feel this is not the perfect job for me, what will be the consequences as per the UAE labor law?

Q: Hello, If your employer’s behavior is causing you to resign, could this be considered constructive dismissal? My employer has been illegally deducting from my commission check. When I confronted him, he wrote down various overhead costs to run the practice, costs that, as an employee, I am not responsible for, along with profit-sharing deductions that were never agreed upon in my job offer or contract. He told me that if I couldn’t accept these terms, I would need to find another clinic to work at. He then created a new contract including all these deductions, which I refused to sign. His manager later tried to force me to sign it, but I did not. I felt very threatened and bullied, so I filed a labor complaint, which was transferred to court. However, I currently lack the funds to proceed due to their actions. If I file another labor complaint later and they ask why I no longer work there, can I use constructive dismissal as the reason?
