Q: Hi Sir,
I am working as a Mechanical Engineer in a company in the UAE. I joined this company in May 2018 and still within my 6 months' probation period.
My last 4 months' salaries are pending and hence I am planning to leave.
Is there any need for a notice period or I can leave immediately?
Also, are there any other legal consequences for me in future?
Please help.
Thanks,

Labour dispute for the non-payment of EOSB and salaries

Q: I am working in DMCC. My company is not paying my correct end of service nor unclaimed leave salary nor notice period.
Also, they deducted 2000 per month for 7 months saying it's cost-cutting which I never accepted, and they said they will compensate later.
Which court do I need to approach if mediation there fails and what are my rights? Is the mediation not able to tell that too there?

Acting against immediate termination without a valid reason 0
Hi,
I have been working for a US company since Jan 1st, 2002. On Monday, 20th Jan 2020. I was given a letter of termination which only stated we are terminating your position.
I was on a UK contract from 2002 to December 2018 and they forced me to move to a local Dubai contract, I’ve been employed in Jebel Ali Free Zone for the whole duration.
I had no prior warning of this, but I was asked to leave immediately and hand in my company laptop and take a 30-day garden leave.
I was also given 60 additional days as an ex gratia payment. I have received the final settlement calculations which include gratuity.
My question is, is this the correct procedure that should be followed?
When are they entitled to cancel my visa? Is it after 30 days or after 90 days?
My visa expires on 20th Feb so it looks like this was planned.
However, am I entitled to ask them to renew my visa for the full 90 day period?
And when do they legally have to pay my end of service benefits?

Filing a case to recover outstanding debts from a company 0
A company owes me 3 million dirhams.
Due to payment difficulties, I offered them a discount of 1 million dirhams provided they keep up to an agreed payment plan which was sent to them and which I have a copy of.
Now, it has been over a year since they haven’t honoured the payment plan. Can I file a case against them claiming the current outstanding plus the discount that I gave them?

Possibility of reducing maintenance for ex-wife due to job loss 0
Hello
Here is my situation. I'm a man, divorced with one child who lives with her mother.
I signed a contract with her that I offer my child AED 10.000 a month. The contract was signed in the court - department of personal matters of Dubai.
I paid for one year and a half. Since this time I got a health issue of my parents and lost my work.
My situation now, I'm without work and can't afford to pay this amount now and would like to know how I can make it low so I can be able to pay.
Thank you for your help.
