Acting against the employer for non-payment of salaries

Hi Sir,

I have not been paid my salary for 2 years, only accommodation and food.

My employer said that the company is waiting for a pending amount of the project, then he will give me the amount one time.

Now, my is expired a day ago. What should I do?

Did you sign a contract or you have any official documents to prove that?

Please let me know what do you mean by ''my is expired''. I need these details so I can help you.

We may have two ways to get your rights. We either file a labour case and it's the better for you, or we file a civil case in case your it has been one year of you waiting for your rights.

So please provide me with more details.

Hi,

Thank you for your response.

My Emirates ID expired on 4th April 2019, so now on the grace period of one month.

The company accountant is saying it's still doing all the calculation, this talk is going on for 2 years, never he gives clear accounts.
