Under UAE labor law, an employer is generally expected to provide an experience certificate upon request after the completion of employment. If your employer refuses to issue the letter, you may file a complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE).

Regarding the mental pressure and unpaid overtime, UAE law protects employees from unfair treatment and requires employers to compensate for overtime work.

Even though you did not raise a complaint during your tenure, you may still have legal grounds to claim unpaid wages and seek remedies for any violations of your rights.

To assess your case and guide you on the best course of action, I recommend a legal consultation.

Yes, you absolutely have the right to file a complaint in Dubai regarding your employer's refusal to provide an experience letter and their past labor law violations.

According to UAE Labor Law, employers are obligated to provide a certificate of service (experience letter) upon the termination of an employment contract, provided the employee has completed their contract period.

This letter should include details such as your job title, period of service, and a general description of your work.

You can file a complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization (MOHRE) regarding your employer's refusal to provide the experience letter.
