Q: Dear Madam,
I have one question. I need your help actually.

Now, my cousin wants his passport back because he wants to go back home for marriage even I have also so much pressure about his passport and I cannot arrange any other replacement.
is it possible if I request my prosecutor to release my cousin's passport and keep only my passport until all this is finished?

Closing a business while the local service agent is not reachable 2
Hi,
We have a professional services license (2 partners) + 1 local service agent registered with DED, Dubai.
The partners wish to close the business because of unavoidable circumstances. We wish to proceed with all the necessary paperwork for cancellation.
Unfortunately, the local service agent is not available. We have been trying to connect to him multiple times but have not been able to reach him.
The due date for the renewal of the company is coming up and we want to proceed with all the paperwork for cancellation prior to that.
Kindly advise us about the options if the local service agent is unavailable.

Rights of the employee in case of resigning during the probation period 1
I was working in a company in Dubai on a family visa. I was not provided with any labour contract during my tenure. I have resigned under probation serving 7 days of notice period as per their contract.
They also deducted my 1 month & 8 days of salary by considering it as training and licensing cost. Now the HR and the manager are not responding to me to clear my incentives and complete my exit process.
I also want to know whether the employee is supposed to bear the cost of licensing (DHA) if he/she resigns under the probation period.

مطالبة الشركة بإصدار حرمان ضد العامل رغم إتمام التسوية بالتراضي 2
السلام عليكم،
وصلتني رسالة من توافق للتواصل مع صاحب العمل على الأرقام المُسجَّلة في النظام ولم يتم الرد وتم التواصل مع العامل ووافق على ما أفاد به المستشار القانوني لدى الشركة وهو غير مُخوَّل وقد تعرَّف عليه العامل.
أفاد أنه سيلغي تصريح عمل العامل وذلك يوم الثلاثاء الموافق 26/05/2020 وطالب باستلام ما في عهدته ووافق العامل على مطالباته، وبناءً على رغبة الطرفين تمت التسوية.
هل يحق للشركة تطبيق حرمان ضدي؟ وما مستحقاتي؟

النفقات المستحقة للزوجة والأبناء نتيجة الطلاق 1
السلام عليكم،
أرجو الإفادة. أنا متزوج من حوالي 8 سنوات ولدي طفلان من زوجتي وأقيم في ابوظبي. راتبي الشهري 15750 درهم. زوجتي مصممة على دفع راتب شهري تقريبًا ثلث راتبي أو أن أطلقها مع العلم أنني لا أستطيع دفع ذلك نظرًا لأن الراتب لا يبقى منه شيئًا.
سابقًا ولعدة سنوات كنت أعطيها ما تريد نظرًا لأنني كنت أحصل في نهاية العام على بعض الحوافز ولكن هذا الأمر توقَّف منذ 3 سنوات تقريبًا وليس لي دخل إلا راتبي الشهري. في حال رغبت في الطلاق نظرًا لكثرة المشاكل بيننا وتطاول زوجتي عليّ بالسب والشتم، أرجو من حضراتكم الإفادة عن نفقة المتعة والعدة مع العلم أن الزوجة لا تعمل.
هل هذه النفقة تشمل مصاريف المدرسة مع العلم أنني مَن يتحمل مصاريف التعليم في مدرسة خاصة في أبوظبي وليس لدي مصدر دخل إضافي وأُرسل مبلغًا بسيطًا 1200 درهم تقريبًا شهريًا للنفقة على والدتي.
للعلم حدث طلاق مرة قبل أكثر من عام أثناء مشكلة بيننا ثم رددتها، وحاليًا أرغب في الطلاق نظرًا لصعوبة التعامل معها مما يُشكِّل عبئًا نفسيًا على الأطفال.
جزاكم الله خيرًا!

My previous organization has not yet released EOSB because I contacted a client. Is this legal? 0
I recently joined a new organization in the Hamriyah Free Zone, and my previous organization has not released my end-of-service benefits.
The HR has instructed the finance team not to do so because I had contacted one of their clients.
In my DMCC contract, there is no Non-Compete clause, but the offer letter has one, and now they are not releasing the end-of-service.
Is this legal? What are my rights?
