Transferring an employee from a DMCC to an LLC company owned by the same owner
I am under DMCC. My visa has already expired on Nov., 8. My company told me that they will transfer me to an LLC (same owner). I emailed them reminding them that aside from my gratuity, I also have a pending ticket allowance.
They replied to me and sent a letter that from DMCC, I will be transferred to an LLC due to the expiry date. My employment will be continued with no changes to my end of service entitlement and annual leave.
Is this letter valid? Will this letter be enough proof and assurance that at the end of my service I will get the dues from my last company (DMCC)?
Dear questioner,
I believe that it is in your best interest to accept the continuation of the service as your end of service gratuity value relies mainly on the time you spent in the company. Such a decision must be studied from two main perspectives:
1. How many years did you already work with the company and would it make sense for you to liquidate your EOSB now or you should try to accumulate the years for a better benefit in the future?
I see that you have at least 3 years behind you, do you know the consequences - financially - on the calculations of your EOSB now and after two years?
There is a difference in the calculations. If you get terminated or resigned, on which basis are you going to calculate?
2. Are you willing to go again into the 6 month probation period?
On the other hand,
3. Are the DMCC company and the LLC company officially owned by the same people? Same ownership structure? Using the same business name? Who will issue the letter and sign it?
All the above are questions that you need to answer before making a decision.
We can assist you to make the decision that would be the best for you now and in the future instead of taking a decision that may sound appealing now and that you may regret later on down the line.
Best Regards,
