Abu Dhabi, UAE

Claiming pending labor dues while being in home country

I am a newly resigned hospital employee here in Abu Dhabi, I have salary pending for the following months as enumerated below:

June 2019 AED 10,000

July 2019 AED 10,000

Oct 2019 AED 10,000

Nov 2019 AED 6,500 (given AED 3,500 only)

Dec 2019 AED 6,200 (given AED 3,800 only)

Jan 2020 AED 7,400 (given AED 2,600 only)

Excluded from those pending salaries are my gratuity pay (basic pay of AED 2,000) and my leave pay for the year 2019 of 45 days wherein I was told to receive the payment at end of service.

I intend to go home immediately to my country and come back later to claim the settlement from the hospital because it is difficult to sustain life here without any source of income.

What would be the possible best course of action I could take?

Thanking you in advance!

The best way is to write a contract settlement of dues signed by the managers as the first party and you as the second party and it is documented (in case of desire) by the notary or you receive future checks on different dates.

Thanks a lot, attorney.

The settlement computation by my company will be made available by 1st week of April according to our HR as verbally stated upon completion of my clearance.

If ever, I will execute a Power of Attorney for somebody because of my desire to immediately go home at the soonest possible time.

What documents do I need and how much would it cost me for the Power of Attorney?

Thank You
