Q: I have won a labour court case against my employer, however, it's over 6 months now and I am still unpaid.

The procedures of labour execution and its time frame
57
Q: Dear Sir,
I have a labour case in Dubai Courts and got the final judgment on my favour. Now, I am going to open the execution file. If I withdraw my case, the company is ready to pay 50 per cent of the amount.
Will the execution court make any negotiations if the employer ask for deduction? Will it take a long time to make the execution?

View allThe maximum notice period employers can put in the contract as per the new labor law 0
Our internal contract has a notice period of 3 months from both parties. In the new labor implementation, only one month's notice is required for less than 5 years of service.
Please advise if we can follow our internal contract since the position is very curtailed and the organization will not be able to replace the position within one month.
