The rights of an employee upon termination under Article 117 in limited contracts

I seek advice as I have been terminated under Article 117. I was under a limited contract.

My company was not paying me full salary which was 13k. They were only paying 10k without any amendments to the contract. I have served the company for a year and 9 months. For 9 months, I received my full salary after which they started paying 10k.

Further, I would like to understand if I am eligible to have 52 days pending paid annual leave, 3 months salary, and gratuity.

If I take this case to the court, how long would it take?

Your prompt response and guidance would be highly appreciated!

Dear client,

Thanks for your query!

I hope you are fine.

1) You can claim pending dues of paid leave.

2) The salary deduction (3k each month).

3) 3 Months salary is up to judge, you can claim but the decision is up to the judge.

4) Gratuity.

For further information, you can contact us via phone or email. We have a good team of local Emirati lawyers to handle all kinds of cases. I am happy to help you. You can fix a personal meeting at our office.

Thanks and Regards!

Thank you for your reply!

I would definitely get in touch. The last thing, I would like to ask: how long does a case take?

Normally, the court can take 4-5 months in the first instance court.

Thanks!
