Termination of employment contract for a valid reason
1
Q: Hi Sir/Ma'am,
I just want to ask for an advice regarding my status.
I'm currently working for over a year already under an outsourcing company with an unlimited contract and they placed me in a hospital. Unfortunately, the hospital cancelled its contract with our company.
Now, my company sent me an email with an attachment saying that they will be proceeding with cancelling my employment contract as per Article 113 of the UAE Labor Law.
The notice period started last Aug. 22, 2018, and my last working day would be until Sept. 21, 2018.
Now, my concern is what are the benefits that I'm entitled to?
Will I have a problem with the MOL if ever I'll be employed in the future?
And is this basically a termination letter?
Thank you and I hope that you could give me some advice regarding this matter.

How do I resolve a year-long pending police complaint to lift the travel ban? 0
Hello,
I need help!
A year ago, my previous employer filed a complaint at the police station accusing me of abuse. He did this because I had taken him to the labor court for not paying my salary.
The labor court case was resolved, and I received my salary. However, the police complaint is still pending. Initially, the police took my statement and informed me to wait for a court summons.
It has now been a year, and I have not received any summons. The case is still under police investigation. They have also informed me that there is a travel ban against me.
How can I remove this case from the police station?

Can I claim all the cheques? Will I face legal issues from them?

How can I cancel my visa and POA for financial matters if I have a travel ban for company bounced cheque? 0
I am seeking urgent guidance regarding my current visa status in the UAE. I was previously employed by a company that has now shut down, but my visa is still under that company.
During my tenure, I held Power of Attorney (POA) for all financial matters. However, after a cheque issued by the company bounced, the owner revoked my POA without my knowledge.
The company officially closed last year, and the owner (a lady) has been missing since the case emerged.
No one from the company is responding, and I am currently stuck in Dubai due to a travel ban imposed on me related to this case.
I need clarification on the following points:
How can I cancel my existing visa under this closed company?
Will I be able to obtain a new visa under another company despite the travel ban?
Are there any legal blocks or restrictions affecting my visa or employment options?
What legal steps can I take to resolve this situation?
I would appreciate your guidance on the next steps and any possible solutions.
