I have received an employment termination letter due to company restructuring.
This was done without prior notice, and I am currently completing a one-month grace period. I have not used any of my annual leave, and I have been working here for nine months.
Could you please let me know what sort of compensation I am supposed to receive?
Thank you!

س: مرحبًا سيدتي،
طاب يومك،
أتمنى أن تكوني بخير.
تم إنهاء خدمتي من الشركة بسبب إعادة هيكلة الشركة وأعطوني فترة إشعار مدتها شهر واحد. أنا على عقد غير محدد المدة، مع شركة خاصة في دبي.
ما هي المستحقات التي سأحصل عليها مع هذا الإنهاء الذي أعتقد أنه فصل تعسفي؟
أتمنى أن تتمكني من مساعدتي.
شكرًا لك.
مع أطيب التحيات،

What is last workday with differing notice periods in employer's and MOHRE contract?

1
Q: Hi,
I need advice on the termination of my contract and notice period. I'm in the first year of my second fixed-term contract with my employer (a school) and was terminated on March 21st due to restructuring.
My employer's contract states that I must give one term's notice, so they want my last working day to be July 5th.
However, my MOHRE contract states that "the terminating party shall notify the other party of such desire 3 months as a prior notice before the determined date of termination, such period shall be similar for both."
My employer argues that because we had a two-week spring holiday followed by a one-week Eid holiday, my notice period does not include the holidays.
Can you please advise on what my last working day should be? Additionally, what is the correct end date of the notice period, and how can I get my employer to agree?

Q: My employer signed a visa renewal form at the end of my contract and now when 15 days are left in my residency expiration, they want to terminate me.
What are my rights in this case?
Can't they not terminate me and at the end of the contract just say that my contract is finished and we don't want you anymore?
What about my notice period and what are my rights in this situation?

What can I do if my tenant is not providing rent cheques nor responding to renew the tenancy contract? 0
Hi,
I am a landlord and need advice on the following scenario.
- The contract with my tenant expired in Sep 2024. Upon requesting the renewal, the tenant mentioned that she is out of the country and will sign the renewal contract and provide the rent checks. In the meantime, she paid the first quarter of rent through a bank transfer.
- After 3 months, when the next quarter's payment was due, she deposited the next quarter's rent into my bank but did not sign the contract renewal despite my follow-up with her multiple times. At this time, she had returned to Dubai.
- Now the next quarter payment is due, however, the tenant is not responding to WhatsApp or answering calls. She is NOT paying rent or renewing the contract.
What action can I take since she is not answering my calls or messages?
She does not have a valid contract or Ejari, and her rent is delayed by 1 month. All WhatsApp messages are delivered, but she chooses not to respond.

How can I cancel my visa and POA for financial matters if I have a travel ban for company bounced cheque? 0
I am seeking urgent guidance regarding my current visa status in the UAE. I was previously employed by a company that has now shut down, but my visa is still under that company.
During my tenure, I held Power of Attorney (POA) for all financial matters. However, after a cheque issued by the company bounced, the owner revoked my POA without my knowledge.
The company officially closed last year, and the owner (a lady) has been missing since the case emerged.
No one from the company is responding, and I am currently stuck in Dubai due to a travel ban imposed on me related to this case.
I need clarification on the following points:
How can I cancel my existing visa under this closed company?
Will I be able to obtain a new visa under another company despite the travel ban?
Are there any legal blocks or restrictions affecting my visa or employment options?
What legal steps can I take to resolve this situation?
I would appreciate your guidance on the next steps and any possible solutions.
