Q: I joined a Co LLC, Fujairah in Sep’13 and signed 3 yrs contract. As per my contract letter, my notice period was 3 months.
I resigned on 8th Aug’15 but the company rejected my resignation and forced me to complete the contract. The company also started threatening me so somehow I served the notice period of 3 months and managed to escape from there.
Now the company is not giving me my 22 days Nov’15 & leave salary of 19 days & Bonus pending till March’15, and also is not cancelling my visa. I already contacted the Indian embassy but they failed to resolve the issue.
Can I come again to the UAE and can I do the job or cancellation is compulsory?

Q: Hello!
I have some questions about my divorce situation.
I'm married to Egyptian, we made a marriage in Georgia, but I have Russian citizenship. As I know, we can't be divorced here. Maybe there are some ways to do it, right?
And if I got separation from my husband and still not get divorced (I would like to stay a bit on his visa), will he has any legal possibilities to return me back because we are still married on papers?

What does Cabinet Resolution No. 1 of 2022 mean with exempting supervisory roles from the provisions of the Labour Law? 0
Dear colleagues,
According to Article 15 of Cabinet Resolution No. 1 of 2022 (“Executive Regulations”), employees occupying supervisory roles are exempt from the provisions of the Labour Law and the Executive Regulations in relation to maximum working hours only if they possess powers equivalent to those of the employer.
Could you please clarify what is meant by "if they possess powers equivalent to those of the employer"?
Currently, we have heads of departments who report to the directors. Will they be eligible for overtime?
Also, those who have a POA to sign contracts will they be eligible?
Or, those who temporarily replace the CEO while he is out, will they be eligible?

View allDisputing tenant's refusal to accept old landlord's rent increase notice 0
Hi,
We recently bought a villa in Dubai. We are looking for an advocate for legal advice.
Even though the old owner gave the tenant a 90-day notice about the new rent, the tenant is not agreeing to the notice because it didn't come from us.
Since the renewal is in October and we bought the property in September, we don't have 90 days to notify the tenant of the new rent.
The tenant agreed to the new rent in an email with the old owner 90 days ago. Can we dispute this?

We had an accident. Can I claim the treatment costs paid to hospital from the insurance? 0
My family and I had an accident. The incident occurred the very next day of their arrival in the UAE on a residence entry permit and their visa//health insurance was still in process.
With gods grace, everyone was discharged from the hospital on the 3rd day after many tests and keeping us under observation. We were slapped with a hefty bill as my family was not holding any health insurance.
What are the chances that I could claim the medical expenses through the vehicle insurance, as it covers co-passengers as well?

What can I do if a company hired me then changed their mind? 0
I am working in a company and their management is the worst. They made an interview in India and called me.
After calling me here, they again made interviews and made me work for 1 month. And now, they're telling me I am not capable of work and they are mentally torturing me.
I have given them 1.5 lack in office in India and here they are not paying me any salary. I am going into depression as I am not getting any solutions.
The only solution coming to my mind is a suicide, I don’t have any other options left. I have taken money in interest and people are daily coming to my house for money.
Please guide me in a proper way on what I can do.
