Termination of employment during probation period
110
Q: My company terminated me even though I did not violate any rules or do any misconduct or any of the reasons in the UAE Law to be terminated. They also know that it is not my fault.
They hired me last August 2016 as a bus attendant under the sponsorship of RTA Dubai Taxi. Now, they terminated me before my probation ends without notice for the reason that I was underage in which they can't issue the permit.
They did not inform me that there is an age requirement during the interview process and yet they hired me. They also let me pay for the visa. Now, I want to go back to my home country.
I would like to ask, can I get a repatriation expense if I'm terminated under probation? And what other things I can do in this situation?
Thank you so much.

Q: Sir
My unlimited employment contract is with a company in JAFZA with benefits on family status.
As the company intends to shut down and shift outside JAFZA, my services have been terminated.
Will I be entitled to an air ticket for the self & family? And will it be only a one-way ticket or it will be a return ticket?

Labour rights of the employee in case of termination during probation
1
Q: If the employer terminates you during the probation period with immediate effect on the same day and makes you sign a notice of termination, is this right since it's unlimited labour agreement?
So for example, the termination happened on 23rd March immediately but then the notice shall be given 30 days before the last working day, how can the 23rd be the last working day?

Is the employee entitled to benefits and ticket in case of termination during probation?

2
Q: Hello Sir,
I have an issue and that is my company terminated me within the probation period by article 44 without any notice.
I just wanna know if there are any benefits because of termination. Did they have to give me a ticket to my country or a salary of half month?
Because they do not agree to give anything nor ticket nor half month salary.

Do we have to provide a flight ticket to the employee if we terminate him for bad performance?




2
Q: Hello,
The company terminated the employee for poor performance. He claims the repatriation tickets.
Questions:
1) Shall we cover the cost of repatriation?
Because as per Article 13 (12), if the termination is for a cause, the employee is not eligible for repatriation tickets.
2) If we have to pay, during which period of time we need to provide tickets?

Reducing the salary of an employee before termination 0
Hello Nicole,
Greetings!
I have been working in a private company in Dubai for the last 13 years under an unlimited contract. Recently, they have made my position redundant.
I am now serving 3 months notice period as per the labour contract (2 months already served, I am now in 3rd and last month).
My employer has put me on forced paid leave to adjust my notice period against leave days balance. I need some clarification per below, please.
1. The employer is paying me a full salary for a notice period of 3 months. However based on the recent announcement from the Ministry of Labor (for Private Co. employees), can my employer reduce my salary temporarily/permanently in this last month of notice period?
2. If the answer to question 1 is YES, how will it impact the calculation of my end of service benefits like gratuity or leave balance encashment? Will it be recalculated based on the revised (reduced) salary?
3. Am I eligible to claim any other Termination/redundancy pay apart from gratuity and leave balance encashment?

Getting the amount of a bounced cheque after car buying fraud 0
I sold my car and the buyer gave me a cheque. The cheque bounced because the account is closed. He is doing this as a regular business.
I have already filed a complaint to the police station and I'm waiting for the judgment from the court. Maybe he will get the fine only.
How can I get my money?
Which case should I file: a civil case or a car buying fraud case?
He may not have anything under his name. If a civil case is filed against him, he knows how to avoid this case .This person has more than 14 cases. Recently, he got out of jail. The issuer of the cheque is a local Emirati guy.
