Q: My company terminated me even though I did not violate any rules or do any misconduct or any of the reasons in the UAE Law to be terminated. They also know that it is not my fault. They hired me last August 2016 as a bus attendant under the sponsorship of RTA Dubai Taxi. Now, they terminated me before my probation ends without notice for the reason that I was underage in which they can't issue the permit. They did not inform me that there is an age requirement during the interview process and yet they hired me. They also let me pay for the visa. Now, I want to go back to my home country. I would like to ask, can I get a repatriation expense if I'm terminated under probation? And what other things I can do in this situation? Thank you so much.

Q: Dear Madam, Greetings! Since I have been terminated in a company located in Dubai, now I'm in 30 days' notice period. As per the UAE law, is it compulsory to attend the duty in notice period? Do I have rights to claim in cash for my termination an exit flight ticket? Hope to receive your valuable advice as soon, please. Thanking you Madam.

Q: I completed 3 years, so I am eligible to get my ticket to go back to my hometown because I resigned already and the owner of our company said that you used your company ticket 2 months before. So now I'm not eligible to get a ticket. Is that true?

Q: Sir My unlimited employment contract is with a company in JAFZA with benefits on family status. As the company intends to shut down and shift outside JAFZA, my services have been terminated. Will I be entitled to an air ticket for the self & family? And will it be only a one-way ticket or it will be a return ticket?

Q: Good Morning I have one doubt with regard to payment of air ticket charges. The employee has worked for 3 years and now he has resigned and he is not leaving Dubai. But he is working for some other company in Dubai. Do we need to pay flight charges for the employee? Does any law say that?

Q: Hi, I have a concern regarding my contract. I have an unlimited contract and I'm on my 2 years now in the company. So, I'm planning to resign because I want to go back to my country for good now. And so, I just realized now that in my contract there are no written leave and ticket incentives after 2 years. So I'm wondering if I still have hope to get a free ticket from my company to go home even if it's not written in my contract. Please. I hope somebody notices this. Because the plane ticket is also expensive. Thank you for the answer in advance.

Q: As per our company policy, all employees are entitled to a two-way ticket every year. I have claimed all my tickets till 2021. Now I am eligible for my 2022 ticket but I have resigned and my last working day will be 25th December. I am definitely getting a ticket to my home country but am I entitled to a two-way ticket since I am also eligible for the 2022 ticket claim? Please advise.

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, My brother is getting deported on Monday due to ill health. He worked for the company for two and a half months. Usually, as far as I know, the company should pay for the ticket, but his company is deducting it from his salary. Can you please help me understand these deportation rules?

Q: Hi, Sir According to UAE labor law, is the employee entitled to an air ticket with an annual leave salary?

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.

I believe that there is a similarity between medicine and law, and just as there is a way to ask a question to a doctor to get the most accurate and correct answers from him, which ultimately helps you receive the correct diagnosis, and therefore the correct treatment, there is a way to ask a lawyer.

Navigating the complexities of labour laws in the UAE is essential for both employees and employers to ensure compliance and protect their rights. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of key aspects, including End-of-Service Benefits (EOSB), visa regulations, and employment rights.

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.

This Decree sets the rules and conditions for the termination of fixed-term (limited) or unlimited (not term-bound) employment contract between employer and worker in the United Arab Emirates.

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).
