Q: Hi. Good day, I just like to ask if I can go out of the country for a vacation, even without the approval of my employer since my vacation is just two days and I will be back as soon as possible. In my contract, there is nothing saying that I can't travel during my contract. Is it okay, because I really miss my family? Thanks in advance.

Q: Sir, I came here to Dubai with an employment e-visa last month, the 16th, and finished almost one month with the company. I have an emergency at my home and I need to go for one week, please suggest how to approach the company. I will return in one week, is it possible or I need to pay a compensation as per the UAE law? Please suggest what I will do.

Q: I worked in UAE for 2 years and 3 months, I've already taken my free vacation after my 2 yrs contract and I returned to work, but suddenly, some emergency happened at home, so I need to take emergency leave and go back home. But the problem is, after my emergency leave, I was unable to return to work. I want to know if I have been blacklisted because of that?

Q: Hi, My question is, can anyone travel/exit the country while only a work permit issued without stamping the visa? I've entered the UAE on a 90 days visa, signed MOL Offer Letter with a company but now due to circumstances I need to travel back. Kindly help if it is possible as per the UAE law. Thank you

Q: I need to leave the UAE on emergency. Can I leave the UAE before my visa stamping in the UAE? The contract is signed and the visa is in progress. The visa is getting transferred from one employer to another.

Q: Dear sir, I have done my medical for a visa. But my company didn't put my visa on the stamping process till now. Is there any way to hold my stamping process? I got my medical insurance. But whenever I ask about my visa stamping and process, they say "you will get it today". How do I know that they started the process or not yet?

Q: Dear sir/madam, I have a bounced cheque case filed by a bank in September 2021. I am in urgent need to travel to India during the Eid break. I would like to get some advice on how I can remove the travel ban.

The UAE has adopted a major reform in its legislative system that brought about 40 new laws and amendments to the company law, criminal law, personal status, among others. The amendments aim to develop the legislative structure in various sectors, the labor law being one of these, was the most recent. We try in this article to shed light on the changes introduced with the new labor law and their significance on both, the employer and employee.

The provisions of this Law, known as "UAE Labour Law", govern the relationship between employers and employees and other labour matters in the United Arab Emirates. There are special labour related regulations applicable in some of the free zones in the UAE.

The provisions of this Decree-Law, known as "New UAE Labor Law", govern labour relations in the private sector of the United Arab Emirates. The New Labor Law repeals the previous UAE Labor Law (Federal Law No. (8) of 1980).
