Arbitrary dismissal and compensation under the UAE Labor Law
2
Q: Dear Madam,
My name is R. S. working as a facilities maintenance supervisor in Shariah, UAE.
My employer terminated my unlimited contract with one-month notice period (Arbitrary Dismissal) and provided me with all benefits with notice period payment of one-month full salary.
I requested the company to pay compensation salary for an additional 3 months with my yearly bonus of 1.5 months salary.
The company did not agree and I filed a formal complaint at MOL online, but the mater is not solved yet and MOL transferred my case to the court.
Kindly advise what is the actual benefits I have to get as per the UAE employment labour law.
Still, I am requesting at least to pay compensation of 2 months' salary and they are not ready to pay.
Is it advisable to solve my issue at the court? If not, please advise what is my right and further step.

Arbitrary dismissal and basis for the calculation of gratuity
0
Q: Good afternoon,
I have been working in a private firm for the last 13 years in an unlimited contract. Now, I have been terminated as per their part of downsizing. My notice period would complete by the end of April.
Since 2006, I'm working in the same company, starting my salary was 3500 and my basic was 2500 then upon increments they added all the increments in others category. They never changed the basic from 2500 and now my salary is 12000.
In 2017, they forced me to change my visa from the branch to head office license due to the branch license closure, and that time, they needed to change my basic as per my salary so they put 7500 as my basic.
During that of renewal, I signed a new employment contract mentioning the new basic, I have the document with me as well.
My question is, am I eligible for 3 months' salary and whether these 3 months include the notice period or apart from that is 3 months?
Will my gratuity be calculated based on the new basic or old basic salary?
Thank you.

ادعاء موظف على شركة لعدم اتباع الإجراءات اللازمة وخصم نهاية الخدمة

0
س: أنا مواطن أعمل في إحدى شركات بترول أبوظبي. بعد 5 أعوام تم استدعائي للشركة وطلبوا مني التوقيع على عقد عمل جديد بوظيفة عامل بالدرجة 6 أو 5 علماً بأني كنت بوظيفة مشغل بالدرجة 10، وعلى أن أبدأ من جديد فترة تجربة 6 أشهر بفئة متدرب والعقد السابق لاغي.
رفضت ذلك فتم إيقافي عن العمل وإيقاف راتبي وإدخالي للجنة المخالفات بشكل أسبوعي لمدة 7 أشهر دون أن أقوم بأي مخالفة. ثم تم خداعي بأن اللجنة قررت فصلي بقرار تأديبي، وعندما طلبت رؤية القرار ادعت بأنه حتى الآن لم يصل ولكنهم أنهوا خدمتي قبل 4 أيّام. فكيف لم يصل حتى الآن؟
طلبت مني التوقيع لحين وصول القرار ولكني رفضت التوقيع على أي شيء حتى أرى القرار. وبعدها قامت الموظفة بطباعة كتاب الفصل وقام أحد الموظفين بالتوقيع عليه، وطلبت مني التوقيع فرفضت لعدم وجود القرار أساساً وهذا الكتاب باطل.
بعدها خاطبوا صندوق التقاعد بطلب شطبي من سجلات موظفي الشركة وادعوا بسبب انقطاعي الطويل عن العمل وأنهم لم يتمكنوا من الوصول إلي لأقوم بالإجراءات، وقاموا بالإجراءات بالنيابة عني وتم صرف المستحقات وقاموا بخصم ربع المكافأة.
هل يستطيع القضاء إرجاعي لعملي ان قدمت إثباتات على ما أدعيه؟

المطالبة بتعويض عن الفصل التعسفي وبدل الإنذار لدى فصل العامل تعسفيًا

2
س: السلام عليكم،
إذا فُصِل شخص من العمل فصلاً تعسفيًا وتم إنهاء الخدمة بدون إنذار في نفس الوقت، فهل يطلب بدل الفصل التعسفي وبدل الإنذار؟
صاحب العمل برر إنهاء الخدمة بأن العامل يتعامل مع ناس، لم يحددهم، وأساء للسمعة وقد هدد بكسر الرأس إذا تم رفع دعوى.
هل يطلب عن هذا الضرر المعنوي تعويضًا من القاضي العمالي مع نفس الطلبات العمالية؛ الأجور والإجازات وغيرها؟
وشكرًا!

حصلت على قرض شخصي وكريدت كارد من مؤسسة للتمويل بإجمالي ٥٠ ألف وتعثرت لفترة والآن يطالبونني بدفع مبلغ ٢٠٠ ألف درهم بالفوائد وكنت أعطيتهم شيك بقيمة ٤٢ ألف وقتها.
سؤالي:
هل يوجد سند لأمر داخل عقد القرض (الأبليكيشن) الخاص بالشركة التي وقعت معها في البداية؟
أم لا يملكون ضمانًا آخر يُمكِّنهم من مقاضاتي به سوى الشيك الذي أعطيته لهم فقط؟

View allHow to file an online defamation case from the Philippines against someone in Dubai? 0
Hello,
I'm currently looking for legal advice regarding an online defamation case. I am a Filipino citizen currently residing in the Philippines. The person I want to file a complaint against is also a Filipino citizen and is currently based in Dubai.
I have already sought legal consultation, but it cost me a lot for just a simple session. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can afford to proceed with the fees required for sending a warning or demand letter to the person I’m complaining about.
I would really appreciate any help, guidance, or information about possible free or low-cost legal services.
Thank you for your time!
