Q: Hello, As I have resigned from my job, my last salary was marked and has been put on hold by the bank due to a salary loan. My question is, can the bank call my employer regarding my end of service payment?

Q: I lost my job and since then, I haven't been successful to get hired in the UAE. Fortunately, I got a job back home, starting date at beginning of May. I have a bank loan with a bank that I couldn't close in full before leaving the UAE. My end of service would be used as a partial payment of the loan but the remaining balance will be over 200K. I aim to reach a new agreement with the bank, having a lower monthly instalment and longer loan period, being paid from my home country. I need an advice how to proceed on this matter in order to be able to leave the UAE at the end of April without being stopped at the border and reach an agreement with the bank from outside the UAE to pay the loan from my home country. The answer time from the bank is very slow. Thank you

Q: Hi sir, My colleague got a loan from a bank 2 months ago. Now, the company terminated him and canceled his visa. He is not able to pay without his job and visa. He wants to go back to India and search for a new job. After that, he will pay the remaining amount. So sir please let me know if he is allowed to depart.

Q: My father in law left the UAE many years ago without paying off a credit card. He may now have the opportunity to work in Saudi Arabia. Will this credit card problem stop him from doing so?

Q: I resigned from my company. The company is not canceling the visa or providing a salary. I couldn't pay my credit card bills for 4 months. I already ignored the collection department calls. Is it possible I can exit on outpass to India without paying the credit card dues?

Q: What happens if you leave the UAE with an unpaid personal loan of around AED 180,000 and go to your home country? Or what if you go to court or the bank and tell them you lost all the money in [stock market]? What will be the process or which is the best way to come out of this? My current salary is 6000 and after deducting home rent and transportation which are 4000, I hope it will increase by 2000 in Sep. so my salary will be around 8000 in Sept 2025. I have 3 kids in my home country and right now I am feeling depressed. Will the UAE hire a third-party agent or what will they do if I leave the country?

The UAE has adopted a major reform in its legislative system that brought about 40 new laws and amendments to the company law, criminal law, personal status, among others. 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.

The management of individual financial affairs is crucial and all the actions must be weighed down while committing to any financial liability. Whether it's job loss that may have lead to financial failure or the opposite, one must be aware of the personal liability which will not diminish by paying fines for cheque bounce cases. There are two major types of liabilities, criminal liability and civil liability. Each has its own significance, hence, must be dealt with accordingly.

The provisions of this Law, known as "UAE Labour Law", govern the relationship between employers and employees and other labour matters in the United Arab Emirates. There are special labour related regulations applicable in some of the free zones in the UAE.

The provisions of this Decree-Law, known as "New UAE Labor Law", govern labour relations in the private sector of the United Arab Emirates. The New Labor Law repeals the previous UAE Labor Law (Federal Law No. (8) of 1980).
