Q: I joined a company in Abu Dhabi three months ago. Due to some quota issues, they give me a messenger visa on my passport.
Now, they don't have a project and want me to search for another job or they will cancel my visa. My contract is a limited term and my visa is a messenger.
Question is if they will cancel my visa, will there be a labour ban?

View allClosing a business while the local service agent is not reachable 0
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 0
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.

النفقات المستحقة للزوجة والأبناء نتيجة الطلاق 0
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!

حجز جواز المتخلِّف عن الانضمام للخدمة الوطنية ومنعه من تجديده 0
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته،
سؤال: فيما يتعلق بقانون الخدمة الوطنية وتعديلاته في دولة الإمارات، هل يحق للجهة المختصة أن تحجز جواز الشخص المتخلف عن الانضمام للخدمة الوطنية، وتمنعه من تجديد جواز السفر وتجديد الهوية الإماراتية إذا انتهت صلاحيتها، حتى لو كان التجديد عن طريق التطبيقات الذكية؟
وما المادة القانونية التي تفيد بأن يحق للجهة المختصة أن تمنع الشخص الذي لم ينضم للخدمة الوطنية أن يجدد الوثائق والمستندات الثبوتية؟ وبذلك لا يستطيع أن يتعالج طبيًا؟
يُرجى التكرُّم بإفادتنا قانونيًا!
