How can an employee execute a labor case judgment?
1
Q: Hi,
My ex-employer (DMCC company) refused to pay my salary and end of service which led to me file a court case against them. I won the case in the 1st court and appeals court which led me to go ahead with the execution.
I have managed to get their trade license blocked however they are still functioning.
As they do not have a name board, I was told by Al Adheed that I cannot put the request to the court to seal their office.
Finally, I went ahead with the manager arrest request, which got rejected. I’m not sure why this happened as I won the case!
Could you kindly let me know what I can do from here?

Can a company appeal against a judgment in the execution stage?
7
Q: Dear sir/madam,
I filed a case against my company and the company does not attend the court hearing. I got a judgment from the count. After that, I went to Al Adeed center to collect the judgment and they asked me to register a request to claim it and come after one week.
After one week, I went there and they said now you are eligible to file execution to get the money; you can come after 15 days. We will update the status.
I want to know if there is any chance the company can go to appeal against this judgment? If they go, how long does it take to get money from the company?

Q: Hello,
My execution order in November 2023 to seize the assets of the company manager returned with:
"After reviewing the traffic system, it was found that there was no traffic file + no bank accounts."
Does the court allow me to make another execution order to seize assets and freeze accounts if there are assets since the previous order?
Thank you!

View allHow to join a new employer while there is a labor case in court? 0
Dear Sir/Madam,
I filed a labor complaint, but the company did not pick up the phone when they called twice. We did not discuss the issue mutually, so I was advised to go to court.
I gave a notice period from August 17, 2023 to September 17, 2023. My actual notice period is 3 months, but I did not receive my salary for 4 months.
If I get a job offer letter while the case is in court and want to cancel my visa, will they accept it?
If not, what should I do? Will there be any complications in joining another employer?

Resigning and claiming labour dues after signing the cancellation paper 0
Hi
I need your advice, please.
I resigned and completed my notice period upon transferring my visa from DMCC to TECOM. My employer sent the end of service settlement along with my last salary and leave benefit.
Now, to complete the process, they need me to sign that I have received the amount which I didn't. My previous employer is saying they don't have money right now and to sign then they will pay once available.
My question here is that if I sign, do I lose my right to claim the money if they didn't pay?
If yes, what kind of legal document or cheque can I ask them to provide prior signing? I'm hugely affected as I can't transfer the visa.
I have asked DMCC and they said I can file a complaint for them to try to settle but I'm sure my previous employer will come and say no money without solid commitment to pay.
Then DMCC will advise going to court which might take a long time. I don't like to make problems but I need advice on what I can ask them to provide to secure my money and to transfer my visa.
