Q: Dear Sir/Ma'am,
I'm a resident of Singapore holding an Indian passport and just a job offer from a company called [--------] in Dubai. In the offer, they've mentioned:
"Newly recruited foreign expatriate employees to join our team are bound to process & obtain 3-year valid U.A.E Residence Visa & Work Permit before joining with our work team on the resumption date. U.A.E Residence Visa and Work Permit are valid only for 3 years (renewable) for employees in Free Zone.
Any Employee who accepts this offer shall contact this Logistics Agency [--------] travel agency & pay all expenses for processing, procurement & acquisition of their UAE Residence Visa & work permit's clearance papers from Ministry of Interior. The employer shall reimburse all expenses upon employee arrival in the UAE."
Is it ok if I pay all the expenses for the UAE Residence Visa/Work permits?
I thought normally Dubai firm shall bear visa expenses.
Thanks

Reducing the salary of an employee before termination 0
Hello Nicole,
Greetings!
I have been working in a private company in Dubai for the last 13 years under an unlimited contract. Recently, they have made my position redundant.
I am now serving 3 months notice period as per the labour contract (2 months already served, I am now in 3rd and last month).
My employer has put me on forced paid leave to adjust my notice period against leave days balance. I need some clarification per below, please.
1. The employer is paying me a full salary for a notice period of 3 months. However based on the recent announcement from the Ministry of Labor (for Private Co. employees), can my employer reduce my salary temporarily/permanently in this last month of notice period?
2. If the answer to question 1 is YES, how will it impact the calculation of my end of service benefits like gratuity or leave balance encashment? Will it be recalculated based on the revised (reduced) salary?
3. Am I eligible to claim any other Termination/redundancy pay apart from gratuity and leave balance encashment?

Getting the amount of a bounced cheque after car buying fraud 0
I sold my car and the buyer gave me a cheque. The cheque bounced because the account is closed. He is doing this as a regular business.
I have already filed a complaint to the police station and I'm waiting for the judgment from the court. Maybe he will get the fine only.
How can I get my money?
Which case should I file: a civil case or a car buying fraud case?
He may not have anything under his name. If a civil case is filed against him, he knows how to avoid this case .This person has more than 14 cases. Recently, he got out of jail. The issuer of the cheque is a local Emirati guy.
