Failure to settle EOSB after resignation for pending salaries

Dear Sir/ Madam,

Thank you for getting in touch with me on this.

Please note that your right to claim the pending salary and end of service benefits is still alive.

The UAE Labour Law provides a limitation period of 1 year within which the rights should be claimed and you are still within the time period.

Further, I believe you have a right to claim more amount from your company as they failed to pay your salary for 4 months.

In law, if the employer fails to provide the salary for 2 months, then it is deemed to be a termination and in your case, it will be arbitrary termination.

For such cases, the law affords three months of salary towards compensation. Let me have a look at all the papers and I feel we can escalate the claim.

Lastly, yes, you can file a labour complaint against your old company claiming your dues. You can contact the Ministry of Labour on 80060 for lodging your complaint.

The Ministry will call both the parties to amicably settle the matter. If the matter is not settled, then the Ministry will issue a letter to you to refer the case to court.

You can approach me for legal assistance while the case is in Court.

You can get in touch with me on 052-9495731 or email me for further clarification and assistance.

Regards,

Hari Wadhwana
