Q: I left my job in Dubai and went to my home country. I want to know how to remove an absconding case and ban.

Q: What is the status of people who are outside the UAE and have an absconding ban on them? Kindly advise.

Q: Hi, I have been overstaying in the country due to a police case and now my company wants to cancel my visa. I finished the police case but still have a travel ban. My company is saying after cancellation, I need to exit or else they will file an absconding case. There is no way to exit as there is a travel ban. What are my options as I do not want to face an absconding case? Thanks

Q: What are the provisions in labour laws if someone leaves the country permanent, without informing the employer due to family emergencies?

Q: Dear Sir, An employee took emergency leave and left for his country. Now he is not willing to come back. Can any legal action such as absconding be taken against him?

Q: Does the absconding tag in MOHRE also automatically mean a travel ban to the UAE or is it a labor ban only? How to remove such bans if I am currently out of the country?

Q: Hello, I have a question. I have an absconding case and fines but I took an outpass to go back to the Philippines. Can I come back to the UAE?

Q: Hi Sir, Please guide me on how to lift the Dubai absconding ban imposed on me in 2013 as I had to rush back to my home country for a medical emergency and my employers put me absconding. Now it's 10 years since I have been outside Dubai. On my special request, my Dubai employers took a third-party support to lift the ban but the case got reversed in the last step as Dubai Immigration was not accepting cases of expatriates outside the country. My huge amount submitted to Dubai employers also did not result in anything. I am willing to take legal help now so kindly guide me on how to proceed. Thanks

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.

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).
