Breaching the EOSB payments agreement after termination
Dear Sirs,
I am 61 years old Electrical Engineer, have worked for a company in the UAE for 10 years and I was terminated in November 2018 for force reduction due to lack of projects.
As the company was experiencing problems in their cash flow, I was made to sign a letter agreement to cover my EOSB, which should be paid on monthly instalments starting December 2018 until July 2019.
Unfortunately, out of the 8 instalments only one was received on May 2019, and all are empty promises; the reason is the company's lack of funds. I am staying out of the country but has still a Dubai valid visa.
Could you please advise how could I recover the remaining EOSB from the company while remaining out of the country as it is very expensive to stay in Dubai without work.
I look forward to your advice with gratitude.
Thank you very much.
In this case, I would need to review your employment contract and the signed letter covering your EOSB.
Most likely, the best preliminary action to take is to serve your employer with a formal legal notice requesting the outstanding EOSB to be paid immediately.
If the employer fails to comply with our request, we can assist you in filing a labour case for non-payment of EOSB on your behalf.
Please let me know if you want to discuss this further, you can contact me directly at bw@elnaggarlegal.com
You have two options to get your money back:
The first option that you can file labour case against the company and as per the labor law number 8 for 1980.
Meanwhile you can file a civil case to take your money, but first, I need to check your labor contract and the agreement between you and the company for paying your amount installment.
send to me the documents on my e-mail/sabryelfakharany5@gmail.com
