Q: Hello Sir, I am working in the UAE as a Telecom Engineer (but visa as an Electronic Exchanger). My company has no project since Feb 2017. They asked me to go on vacation in Feb 2017, still, they didn't get any project. I came back on July 13, 2017, without informing them. Now they are not paying my salary as there is no work, so I asked them to provide NOC so I can find other jobs, and now they are asking for visa amount. WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW? Visa issue date: June 2016 (2 yrs employment visa) Please suggest me what to do.

Q: Dear Sir, Good day. I would like to ask regarding my delayed salary. It is running for 3 months this May 2021. My employer and her family are saying that they are waiting for money from their client who is in the contracting business.

Q: Actually, I resigned from work due to non-payment of salary for over 5 months with a proper notice period. Now the company is not giving a proper answer when the complaint has been registered and instead they are just giving the same excuse as they need more time and will be able to give payments in 4-5 cheques which are not acceptable as I have to go back to my home country. Actually, I would like to know if I refer the case to court, is it possible for me to claim more as compensation (along with salary, leave salary, EOS benefits) due to delay from the employer and giving false promises to each complaint registered?

Q: Hi Good Day. I already complained in the labor (delayed salary for 4 months) and the day after that, I gave my resignation to my employer. However, our first mediation is not settled. After 10 days, my employer filed a complaint that I resigned from a limited contract while my complaint is still active. I still didn't receive the mediator call from my employer's complaint but just want to know how I can fix the issue that now I'm a complainant and at the same time, my employer has a complaint.

Q: Greetings, I am a civil engineer. I got my first visa stamp in Dubai in April 2022 and my visa expires on April 2024. My employer is not paying me a salary for the past 5 months of my Joining. I want to quit my job and find a new one. As it is my first engineer visa stamping, will there be any ban imposed on me? I did not raise any complaint to the labor court. Should I raise a complaint? Please help me out!

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.

I believe that there is a similarity between medicine and law, and just as there is a way to ask a question to a doctor to get the most accurate and correct answers from him, which ultimately helps you receive the correct diagnosis, and therefore the correct treatment, there is a way to ask a lawyer.
