حجز جواز السفر وعدم توفير عمل بعد مرور أشهر على توقيع العرض
2
س: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله،
وقعت على عرض عمل مع شركة في دبي بتاريخ 07/2022. مر أكثر من 6 أشهر ولم يوفروا لي العمل. حاليًا لم يتبقى لدي مالاً لأصرف على نفسي. حالتي الصحية في تدهور.
عندما طالبت بجواز السفر، الشركة قالت أنه يجب على الوسيط الموافقة أولاً وبعد ذلك نسلمك الجواز. الوسيط قال أنه يريد المقابل، مع العلم اني دفعت له 2500 درهم إماراتي مسبقًا.
ذهبت إلى المحكمة للإبلاغ عن حجز الجواز. أصدرت المحكمة أمرًا بتسليم الجواز لصاحبه، لكن مركز الشرطة المعني بالأمر بدلاً من تنفيد أوامر المحكمة بكاملها اكتفوا فقط بالاتصال بالوسيط والأخير يقول أنه سيسلم الجواز لصاحبه، ولكن إلى الآن لم يفعل.
وكإجراء بديل، حرروا لي بلاغ فقدان جواز السفر في مركز الشرطة لأجدده في السفارة.
السؤال: هل يمكنني اتباع هذا الإجراء أم تترتب عواقب على هذا النوع من الإجراءات؟ وماذا أفعل لأحصل على الجواز بطريقة قانونية؟
شكرًا جزيلاً!

هل يستطيع صاحب العمل أن يضر العامل إذا كان جواز السفر بحوزته؟
1
س: السلام عليكم،
حصلت على عرض عمل براتب أكبر من الحالي وأرسلته للكفيل بالواتس وأحضرته معي بالشركة والكاميرات سجلت كل شيء.
رفض توقيعه بالقبول أو الرفض وأخبرني أنه يريد نصف تكاليف الإقامة التي دفعها من قبل حيث دفعت أنا نصف تكاليف الإقامة فقط وهو دفع النصف الآخر.
يحاول الآن إرضائي كي لا أتركه برفع راتبي الحالي، وقد أظهر لي سماحة في التعامل حتى فاتني عرض العمل الذي حصلت عليه.
بعد أيام طلب مني الاحتفاظ بجواز السفر معه، فهل يستطيع إلحاق الضرر بي حين يكون معه جواز السفر الخاص بي أو يستطيع التعميم علي في أي وقت؟
الزملاء بالشركة يؤكدون أنه غدر بأكثر من شخص كان يعمل معهم عندما شعر منهم بالرغبة في ترك العمل والذهاب لغيره.

Passport retrieval and resolution of employment dispute




1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
Subject: Seeking Legal Assistance for Passport Retrieval and Resolution of Employment Dispute
I am writing to seek your urgent assistance regarding an ongoing issue with my employer, pertaining to the release of my passport.
Despite multiple attempts to communicate and retrieve my passport through email correspondence, my employer has not complied with my request, and my passport is still in their possession.
This situation has persisted, even though legal proceedings are underway, and the final judgment is scheduled to be delivered on 15/02/2024.
I am deeply concerned about the implications of this delay on my personal and professional life. The retention of my passport not only hinders my ability to carry out routine activities but also raises questions about compliance with legal obligations.
I would appreciate your counsel on the legal recourse available if my employer remains unwilling to pay the owed amount even after the final judgment.
Thank you for your assistance!

View allThe maximum notice period employers can put in the contract as per the new labor law 0
Our internal contract has a notice period of 3 months from both parties. In the new labor implementation, only one month's notice is required for less than 5 years of service.
Please advise if we can follow our internal contract since the position is very curtailed and the organization will not be able to replace the position within one month.

Annual leave salary calculation as per the new labor law 0
Dear sir/madam,
Annual leave salary calculation as per the new labor law.
Can you please clarify the correct annual leave salary rules?
Some say it is basic + HRA for the month you will take off, others say it is full salary, and somewhere I read it is basic + HRA (annual leave salary) plus the normal salary you get.
Can you please clarify?
Thanks for your valuable time and kind assistance!
