Can I claim my end of service benefits after signing the resignation settlement?

Hi Sir,

I worked for a travel agency for 3years, as accounting manager; when wanted to come back to my home country I resigned from my job in July 2017. My employer didn’t pay my dues and didn't make any final settlement amount.

Being trusting the manager I signed the end of services form for visa cancellation. He promised me to make the payment once the visa is cancelled, but after cancellation, he started harassing me saying I have manipulated his accounts and stole his money and tortured me.

Finally, he made me sign a document that I have adjusted amount which was approx 50,000 Dhs, for my mistakes in white paper and gave my passport and I left Dubai in July. I have 1 loan of 30,000 and 10,000 credit with banks, who are after me to make the payment.

Is there anything I can do to get my money? Pls, help me I want to clear my dues in Dubai.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Dear,

Since you agreed and signed the settlement papers, therefore, you may not be able to claim anything from the employer.

With regards to credit loans, you may request the banks to restructure those loans installments payments through Attorneys since you are outside the country and jobless. If the banks have initiated the cases then you will be caught at the airport upon arrival.

Regards
