Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I want to cancel my visa from my current company because my employer is not paying my full salary. He has only paid half of my salary for the last two months, and the company does not have any projects for me. As a result, my employer is asking me to stay in the office without providing me with accommodations or transportation. I am unsure about what I should do in this situation. I have requested that my employer cancels my visa, but he is demanding three months' salary. I have been employed by this company for one year and four months, and my contract is limited. Please advise me on what I should do!

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I have been working as an engineer for my company for 14 months under a limited contract. The company has failed to pay my full salary every month, and as of today, I am owed 150,000 AED. I have filed a complaint with MOHRE. As I have completed 14 months, the company has not yet paid me my annual leave salary or my return ticket. In this scenario, is it advisable to resign? I am thinking of applying for a one-month leave of absence, as this is my right, and I can use this time to search for a new job peacefully. If I want to resign, how can I get my settlement? I am currently in a financial crunch, so what will be the court fees and lawyer fees? Also, how long does it take to get a settlement from my employer?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, My complete salary for my previous contract from 2019-2021 is not paid. In 2021, the contract was renewed and I was paid in full. Can I claim the unpaid salary from 2019-2021?

An interview-format article covering the topic of employment in the UAE. This is from the legal podcast of lawyer Ludmila Yamalova, the founder of Lawgical with LYLAW. In this article, Ludmila informs readers what they should do and where they should go if they have not been paid by their employer.

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.

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.

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).
