رفع قضية ضد صاحب العمل بسبب خفض المدفوعات

تم بيع الشركة التي أعمل بها بسبب الخسائر. يقول صاحب العمل أن الموظفين بحاجة إلى قبول خفض مستحقاتهم لتقاسم الأعباء.

صاحب العمل غير مقيم في دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة. إذا ذهبت إلى المحكمة وربحت القضية، ماذا أفعل للتأكد من أن صاحب العمل سيدفع إذا لم يكن مقيمًا في دولة الإمارات ويقول أنه ليس لديه نقود يدفعها؟

If you resign, you will get the full payout including gratuity. Challenging the reduction on the basis that the company is at a loss will not guarantee you success in the court.

UAE Labour Law recognizes loss of profits as one of the grounds of reduction of salary as well as termination.

On the other hand, if the employer has no money, then his assets, if any, can be attached in execution. Otherwise, if he has nothing at all, chances of getting any money are almost NIL.

Does this mean local assets only or international ones?

Would they have to declare for bankruptcy to have this happen and go on that process?

It will only be local. The bankruptcy process is not automatic. The debtor has to apply for that and based on several criteria, it is decided.

Thanks, you have been really helpful.

Is there a way to know how many months this would take in court?

The bankruptcy proceedings take time because a liquidator will be appointed to check all financials and submit to the court. It can be three to four months as a minimum.

Regards!
