3 متاح 3 • عرض الجميعTerminated for performance issues without prior warning while on vacation. What should I do?




1
Q: Hello Sir,
I am facing an issue with my employer. I work in the private sector in the UAE, and my employment visa expires in June 2025.
After two years, I traveled to my home country for vacation, and one week after my arrival, the company sent me an email terminating my employment due to performance issues.
However, I was never given any prior warning or written notice. The termination email also did not mention any notice period or other details.
I would like to know my rights and what I should do in this situation.

What can I do if my employer terminated me without a prior notice?




1
Q: Without any prior notification or warning letter, the company suddenly says today don't come. We will terminate your employment.
From today 30 days will be your notice period that will be paid. Your MOHRE contract date is 5 days after your termination. So no gratuity will be entitled.
What do actual labor laws say?
1. Gratuity - they take MOHRE date. But the joining date is only to be calculated, am I correct?
2. Without written warning or notification, they cannot terminate me on the same day. The reason is due to no sales generated.
3. Because it is termination, I like to request to hold my visa until I find another job for 2 or 3 months. Is it possible?
What does the law say?
It is a mainland LLC company, an expat partnership company.

Hello,
My brother's brother-in-law was arrested at Fujairah Airport, as he was carrying 25 bottles (each of 10 Grams) of new shama kamini vidrawan ras.
This is an ayurvedic formulation that promotes sexual wellness. The ingredients help to enhance libido in men.
As he (brother's brother-in-law) informed police that my brother asked him to carry this ayurvedic medicine, as he (my brother) wanted to gift it to his few friends, as this is cheaper in India.
As of now, both my brother and his brother-in-law are arrested by police stating that this medicine contains drugs and is kept in Fujairah Central Jail.
It's been more than 15 days since my brother's brother-in-law (arrested on 26th June), and more than one week since my brother's arrest (6th July).
Now, I don't have any idea or information about what will happen and what the current status is.
Your kind advice and help will be highly appreciated.

Visa cancelled, salary unpaid. How to check if my UAE employer filed absconding? 0
Hello,
My visa has automatically been closed since I’m outside the UAE. But my company didn’t pay me the final month’s salary and settlement.
I submitted my resignation from outside the UAE, as the company suggested I take a leave instead when I resigned from there.
Now I filed a complaint through MOHRE customer service for the salary, but the response was that they couldn’t find any issue. I’m not sure how the company cancelled my visa without clearing the payment.
How can I check if they have filed an absconding case?

I made a complaint about my stolen money and could not attend the hearing. Will I be penalized? 0
Salaam alaikum,
I made a complaint at the police station in Barsha about my stolen money 2 months ago.
I left the country for a short while soon after that, but since I don't know the process, I got missed calls from Dubai prosecution and a message from them to visit them on June 15th.
I didn't go since I was outside the UAE, and when I called them back, no one answered the call.
Anyhow, 3 days ago, the Dubai Public Prosecution portal shows the person was sentenced for theft, and I also got a message that a judgment has been passed.
I just want to know if I'll be penalised for not attending prosecution, or stopped at immigration when I'm returning.
Jazakallah Khair!

Can my employer charge me training fees even if I didn’t receive any certification? 0
Hello,
The Second Party shall be obliged to pay back the value of the training (which is estimated at AED 10,000) if they terminate the employment contract of their own free will within one year from the date of commencement, without prejudice to the First Party's legal or contractual obligations. (The amount agreed upon for the value of the training period must be commensurate with the employee’s period of employment.)
I have that clause in my labour contract regarding the training fees, but despite completing 359 days of service with the company, I have not received any such certification from them.
Now, the company is refusing to cancel my employment and is demanding that I pay AED 10,000. In response, I filed a complaint with the Labour Department requesting the cancellation of my labour card.
However, the process is being delayed, and meanwhile, the company has filed a counter-complaint against me, demanding the full AED 10,000.
What can I do?

If acquitted by the appeal court, is the travel ban and wanted status automatically removed? 0
Hello,
If acquitted by the appeal court, is the travel ban and wanted status automatically removed? I mean, an innocent verdict was issued by the first instance court, then it was appealed, and after that, the travel ban was there.
Now, the appeal court has issued an acquittal from all charges; so is the travel ban still there, or is it automatically removed after the judgment is issued?

Can I cancel the deal if an advertised 2-bedroom apartment is officially a 1-bedroom? 0
Hello,
I'm in the process of buying an apartment. The apartment was listed as a 2-bed, and when I asked to see the floor plan, it was marked as a 1-bed.
I was told by the agent that this was a mistake/mislabel and that the seller is trying to get it fixed. In the process of obtaining the NOC from the developer, the apartment was again listed as a 1-bed, and when I asked for it to be updated, the developer mentioned that the apartment is officially registered as a 1-bed.
Since it was spacious, it was offered as an internal modification, but the official classification is 1-bed and that can't be changed. I checked with the DLD, and the apartment is registered as a 1-bed as well.
I was not aware of any modifications and was not told any of this by the agent when signing Form F.
Are the above facts grounds for me to back out of the deal, or does the classification not matter in this case?

The agent promised me cashback, but he’s left the company and they won’t pay. What can I do? 0
Hello,
An agent from a company in the housing space promised me a percentage cashback from the brokerage if I booked the house through him.
He sent this understanding via both his company and personal email. After regular follow-ups, he paid a certain percentage but claims the company is not willing to release the remaining amount.
The agent has since left the organization and started his own business, and I am left hanging to deal with the company on my own. I have never visited or had any contact within the company.
Please help or guide me in the right direction, as the amount is my hard-earned lifetime savings and is considerably large.
