Q: I resigned from a company and currently under notice period (1 month). I have a strong doubt that my employer will not pay my salary due & end of service benefits easily. In this case, if I need to go to Dubai Court, normally, how much time it will take to get a judgment and my money in the present conditions?

Q: Hello everyone, My company terminated me without any reason and refused to pay me my dues. I put a case against them and got first judgment in my favor. Now we both parties have 30 days to appeal. How will I know if the company appealed against the judgment? Also, I got an offer letter. Is it possible to cancel my visa at this stage? In case the company appealed, how much time further will be required to reach the final judgment? Please give me your best advice. It will be a huge help.

Q: I filed a case against my employer for my salary in court. My amount is 20,000. How much time the execution court takes after the final judgement? What would I do after the final judgement? They didn't appear in any hearing and they cancelled me before submitting the case. Now I am overstayed in UAE. What is the procedure to remove the fine? Thanks!

Q: My case status is "set for judgment". What does it mean? I have a labor case in Dubai court. My employer didn't attend a single hearing!

Q: Dear All, I filed a case against my employer in May 2020 for my pending salary and EOSB. The judgment was given in my favor in the first instance, but my employer appealed, and again, the appeal judgment was given in my favor. It has been 4 months since the delivery of the judgment. There is no settlement of my dues from my employer, despite giving notices and warrants. The company is 100% owned by an Emirati. It looks like the owner never responds to the court order. Please advise how can I get my dues? It is more than a year I filed a case. I have outstanding loans and cards to be cleared. I am in a very difficult situation. Regards,

س: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله، التصرف تجاه تقصير المحكمة العمالية في إجراءات التنفيذ وعقد أكثر من ٣٠ جلسة تنفيذ بدون أي دفع لمجموعة عمال، مع العلم أنه قد تم تقديم ما يثبت أن المنفذ ضده يمتلك ثروة ضخمة قادرة على تغطية مبلغ التنفيذ. ما الإجراء الأفضل غير اللجوء للتفتيش القضائي؟

The UAE has adopted a major reform in its legislative system that brought about 40 new laws and amendments to the company law, criminal law, personal status, among others. The amendments aim to develop the legislative structure in various sectors, the labor law being one of these, was the most recent. We try in this article to shed light on the changes introduced with the new labor law and their significance on both, the employer and employee.

The provisions of this Law, known as "UAE Labour Law", govern the relationship between employers and employees and other labour matters in the United Arab Emirates. There are special labour related regulations applicable in some of the free zones in the UAE.

This Decree sets the rules and conditions for the termination of fixed-term (limited) or unlimited (not term-bound) employment contract between employer and worker in the United Arab Emirates.

The provisions of this Decree-Law, known as "New UAE Labor Law", govern labour relations in the private sector of the United Arab Emirates. The New Labor Law repeals the previous UAE Labor Law (Federal Law No. (8) of 1980).
