Claiming labour dues and visa transfer after resignation
I have a case of unpaid salary for 8 months and non-renewal Of residence visa case. I resigned on June 9th 2019 & requested for the settlement and reported the issue to MOHRE.
However since June 9th 2019 onward my employee has not completed any of his obligations. Please note that my total due remuneration due is AED 96000 and leave salary AED 9600 as well as settlement amount of AED 6720 which is amounting to AED 112320 as per calculation.
I have all communication of my reminder email and communication over the social media Whatsapp messenger, as well as the reference of the MOHRE complaint no. to share with you in case required.
I would request you to help me in my matter to seek my settlement as well as regularize my residency so that I can work in a company where I have got the offer.
My visa is issued from a company in Sharjah, a non-free zone company. What should I do if it’s not resolved amicably in Tawafuq Center?
Dear Sir/ Madam,
Thank you for reaching out to me on this.
Please note that you have taken the right steps so far by reporting the issue to MOHRE.
You may instruct them to transfer the case to the court if there is no resolution taking place between yourself and the employer.
Once the matter is in court, you can litigate the matter by yourself through typing centre or engage the services of a lawyer.
Regarding your visa, since your visa was not renewed, I am assuming it was not even cancelled by your employer.
You may approach the court to grant you a temporary work permit to work with the new company. This permit will be for 6 months which can be renewed at expiry.
I trust you will find this helpful.
Regards,
Hari Wadhwana
