Q: Dear Sir/Madam
I am a Relationship Manager In a bank in Dubai.
My employer has terminated my services (discontinuation of services) with reason as unsatisfactory performance during 2017.
They have given me 30 days' notice period and have mentioned in the letter that I am exempted from attending office during the notice period.
I seek your valuable advice, can I claim 3 months' full salary for my such termination where it was done all of sudden without alerting me with warning letters.
Also if you can advise me how to file a case against the employer in order to claim 3 months' salary.
Thanks and regards

Termination by current employer for a pending investigation
0
Q: I have a case which is under investigation for the past year and a half related to my previous employer.
I have been told verbally that I’m clear but due to the process I have to wait until the investigation is completed and moves to the public prosecutor to get my passport back.
I have been currently working with a semi-government organisation for two years now and they have decided to suspend me and have been forcing me to resign based on this case.
I have tried to negotiate with them to wait for the case to be moved to the public prosecutor and now they are saying they will terminate me. I have been under suspension with no pay for three months now.
Kindly advise whether I should go to the labour courts with a complaint or still try to talk to my current employer.
Thank you

How to cancel visa and remove overstay fines after getting labour judgment?

10
Q: Hi,
I had a labor case and the judgment came. The company has to pay my dues. My issue is that I have overstayed for the last 3 months.
I filed the execution already in order to get my dues from the company. I requested my company to cancel my visa. But they are not canceling me.
What can I do in such a situation like this?
Is it possible to cancel my visa by myself?
If yes, do I need to pay the overstay fine?
Is there any possibility to avoid the fine?

View allTerminating an employee after sick leave and claiming compensation 0
Hello,
My employer fired me under Article 44 for not showing up for work for 7 days in a row. But that’s not the case at all. I was sick and the management was aware and they let me go.
I went to another country to get treatment because it’s expensive in Dubai. My employer did not pay me my salary for the month I worked and fired me.
I have official sick leave from another country and there is correspondence where my employer sent me to another country for treatment.
The problem is that the employer says that he will take compensation for the training that was specified in the contract, but I did not undergo training at all; I immediately started work from the first day of work and there was no training.
Does my employer have the right to charge me such a fee and not pay my salary?

How to cancel the MoU to buy an apartment with the broker if the bank did not approve the loan? 0
Hi,
I have a situation where I signed an MoU and gave my security deposit to the seller's agent. However later, the bank valuation of the property is lower than the selling price.
On my MoU, it has a clause that “the buyer has a right to cancel/negotiate if the bank valuation is not the same as MoU.” I tried to negotiate, however, we didn't agree on the price so I asked to cancel.
Now the agent is threatening me that they will not cancel the MoU and that will deposit my cheque. Later I also came to know that the person I am dealing with is not the same person whose name is mentioned as a broker in the MoU.
The agent I am dealing with is constantly messaging me with threats. I decided not to speak to him and instead, I wrote an email to the broker whose name is mentioned on the MoU but received no response.
I am on a very tight timeline as I need to vacate my apartment in 3 weeks, I found another unit but I don't know if I can pursue this while the initial MoU still not canceled.
Please, I need advice.
