Proceeding with a labor case after getting a judgment while the sponsor is abroad

Good afternoon all,

I opened a labor court case because the company fired me and didn't pay my settlement or my salaries which are more than 4 months.

I have already got a judgment that my sponsor has to pay me. Apparently, he is not in the UAE as his business is in Pune and Mumbai.

Also, he did not appear in any of the court hearings.

Now, the AI Adheed told me:

1) That I have 45 days to proceed with the cancellation of my Visa and labor card or I will be banned. Is this true?

The Visa isn't valid until the end of the next year and honestly, I would like to take it with me to be able to get a new job in the UAE.

2) I have to proceed with the execution to be sure that the company will pay me.

Please assist me, how should I proceed?

Dear client,

Here are the answers to your questions:

1) That I have 45 days to proceed with the cancellation of my Visa and labor card or I will be banned. Is this true?

Answer: It is true! You should cancel your Visa once the case is over.

2) I have to proceed with the execution to be sure that the company will pay me.

Yes, you can open execution after 30 days of judgment.

In case the company did not attend the hearing, you should send the judgment by notification to the company and wait for 30 days and then open the execution directly.

Thanks!
