Suspending employment after issuing the working visa

Hi,

I am now in the UAE. My employer has already processed my working visa. I have my emirates ID card with me from my employer.

The problem is I have been waiting for 4 months for my date of joining, called the HR many times but they cannot give me a clear answer. Anything I can do?

My contract with them is a limited contract. It has been 4 months since the issuance of my visa. Actually I am tired of waiting.

Will I be receiving any compensation for what they are doing? Is it better to wait more for my date of joining?

You can communicate with the relevant manager peacefully to find a solution for you.

But your case is not clear because you told me you are in the UAE. Now does this mean you are working with them now or not?

If you are working with them now, the problem is solved. If you are not working yet, there are many legal solutions.

But we advise you to start solving the issue friendly, and if they did not respond, you can decide to open a labour case.

Hi Sir,

Actually I am here in the UAE already. They issued my working visa already but they didn't let me join them yet.

I have been waiting for 5 months for my date of joining, but until now, they don't have a clear answer.

I will try to talk to the relevant manager and maybe if they still don't have some answer, I will decide on what to do.

Thank you, Sir.
