Q: Hi, Good day. My visa is sponsored by my husband (husband visa) and valid till 2022, but my husband found another job. Now his company needs to cancel him, do we need to cancel my visa (husband visa) also if the company cancels my husband? Or only my husband can cancel and will wait till my sponsor visa expires?

Q: Hi! Good day! It has been almost 4 years of working as a security guard in a Dubai-based company on a limited contract and recently I got a job offer overseas (Malta). In order to get the visa, I need a No Objection Letter from my employer, which the employer rejected. So, Is there any way to get NOC from my employer? Or does the MOHRE or Labour Court issue the NOC on the employer's behalf?

Q: Dear sir/madam, If there is a police or civil case against an individual, will the spouse be affected in any way or questioned?

Q: Hi, I worked for a company for 8 years and 4 months. I got another job opportunity and I resigned on July 13th, 2022. I served my 30 days notice period and my employer asked me to stay till 20th Aug 2022. I agreed and I followed up for the EOSB and my cancellation paper. The company did not give me till 25th Aug 2022. On 25th Aug 2022, the company asked me to get balance confirmation (outstanding payments) from my clients, which is not possible in one day. Then I filed a complaint in MOHRE. MOHRE tried to resolve the issue amicably. But the employer refused to settle. Now the case has gone to court. My Employer is asking the following things: 1. Insurance company has paid for my daughter for the last 4 years. They want to deduct that amount. 2. They want me to get one letter signed from the client stating that they will pay the company within a certain period. My next job is getting affected; the new company might not wait for this long. I might lose my next job.

Q: Please advise if medical insurance is a recruitment cost.

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, My employer is harassing me. I came from Pakistan to the UAE for a computer operator job through a Pakistani agency paying 6.5 lakh PKR, but my sponsor has no company in the UAE; it is only for visas.

Now my sponsor demands 300 AED per month or 4500 AED for an NOC; otherwise, he said he will cancel my work visa and I will have to apply for a new work visa under compulsion. What can I do? I don't know anything about UAE visa law.

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).
