Can an employee request airfare encashment after one year if not traveling?

Dear questioner,

In the UAE, an employee can request to encash the air ticket, but it depends on the employment contract and company policy.

If not agreed upon, the employer is not legally required to provide cash instead of the ticket.

For further legal assistance, feel free to contact me.

Hello,

Yes, an employee can request airfare encashment if it is part of their employment contract or company policy.

However, it is at the employer’s discretion to approve or deny the request unless the contract specifically guarantees encashment.

We can review your contract and advise you on the best approach.

Under UAE labor law, whether an employee can encash their airfare allowance instead of utilizing it for travel depends on the terms of their employment contract and company policy.

Some employers provide the option to encash the airfare if the employee chooses not to travel, while others require it to be used strictly for flights.

To assess your specific situation and determine the best approach to request encashment, I can review your contract and advise you on the best course of action.

Dear questioner,

The most important factor is whether your employment contract or company policies explicitly allow airfare encashment if you choose not to travel. If mentioned, you can request encashment.
