Q: Dear Lawyers,
I resigned from my job during the probation period in Sharjah.
During the 14-day notice period, my company told me to pay 25,000 AED; otherwise, they would not cancel my visa. Is this legal?

Do I have to pay the value of training to the company in case of terminating the contract?
0
Q: Salam,
My company has filed a complaint against me in MOHRE related to training fees.
This is the clause mentioned in my contract:
"The Second Party shall be obliged to pay back the value of the training (which is estimated at an amount of 10000 AED) when they terminate the employment contract based on their own free will (within One Year) from the date of commencement of their contract, without prejudice to the First Party's legal or contractual obligations. (the amount agreed on for the value of the training period must be commensurate with the employment period of the employee)"
My question is:
1. I served 11 months in the company. Can they demand the full 10,000 or it should be less due to 11 months (as per the last line of the clause)?
2. I didn't even get training from the company. I learned normally by working on projects with seniors. No training session was conducted for me. Should I still have to pay?
My case is in MOHRE.
Thanks

How can I cancel my visa to join a new employer if my ex-employer filed a case for training charges?




1
Q: Hi,
I have filed a complaint (MOHRE) against my company for my pending salary.
To blackmail me my company has also filed a complaint against me claiming I have to pay them training fees (10,000 AED) which are mentioned in the contract. However, I have not received any training from the company.
The issue is I want my visa cancelation as soon as possible because my new employer is waiting for me for so long now. I want guidance on this matter. My employer is deliberately delaying this matter and using the visa cancelation as a tool against me.
My question to respected lawyers is that,
1. What should I do to get my visa cancelation as soon as possible?
2. Can Visa/labor card cancelation be done on my own?
3. If I win my salary claim case. Can I get a labor card/visa cancelation somehow while a complaint is open from my company against me?
Thank you so much for the guidance

My company complained against me in Mohre after my resignation claiming training fees from me




0
Q: My company complained against me in MOHRE after my resignation claiming training fees from me.
The claim was rejected by the MOHRE and they have now filed in Abu Dhabi FIC court against MOHRE's decision. I received a message that the case hearing is on 9th December.
My question is:
1. Do I need to submit anything before the hearing like a statement or anything else? I don't know Arabic, so can I speak English in front of the judge?
2. I want to get a temporary work permit so that I can work in another company during this case. Can the Abu Dhabi court judge issue me the temporary work permit during the hearing or there is a separate procedure to get that?

Do I have to pay my company after resignation for a training that never happened?



0
Q: Hi Sir,
I would like to ask a question.
In my contract, there is an additional addendum stating that I have to pay up to 5000 AED for the training in case I terminate my contract within 1 year.
Now the question is, I'm already 6 months in service. Do I have to pay that even though the company did not provide any training for me?
I'm confused because it is stated you will have to pay because of the training but the company did not provide the training. Will I pay or not?

Can I request reopening a civil case if the judgment was in my absence due to sending notices to the wrong address? 0
Lawyers misunderstood my question. Please read carefully and then guide me.
Case Type: Civil Case
Claim amount: 400,000
Paid: 65,000
Reason: Commercial agreement of supply
Emirate: Ajman
This case was registered in 2022. The judgment was in my absence, as notices were sent to the wrong address.
I was sent to jail. I made a down payment, bailed, and paid some more amount as installments. The total paid amount is AED 65000.
Now, again, an arrest warrant is issued as I did not pay the remaining 335,000 of the claim.
According to me, I had to pay only this amount because the executioner made a wrong claim, not as per the genuine claim.
So I want to reopen the case file.
I want the court to reinvestigate and start the case from scratch.
1) How can I make that request?
2) What documents are required?
3) Chances of reopening of case?
4) Cancellation of arrest warrant
Please guide me in detail, as I will do everything myself, as I cannot afford a lawyer right now.

If a bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts. Is a travel ban automatically applied? 0
A bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts due to nonpayment of a personal loan and credit card.
Is a travel ban automatically applied?
I looked on the Dubai Courts website, and it says the judge has issued a “reserved” order for my case.
Furthermore, when the bank emails, they threaten me with a travel ban. So I am assuming there is no travel ban issued (but I don’t know). I haven’t received any notice of a travel ban.
If there is a travel ban, how do I find out?
I have checked the Dubai police app, and there are no financial crimes against me.
Please advise if you know.
