How to guarantee labour rights before signing the cancellation paper
Good morning All,
I was terminated by my company in March 2020 for not signing the unpaid leave document given to me. I was terminated on 23rd March 2020.
Once termination letter was signed, ever since then, I have been chasing my ex-company for releasing the final settlement and each time they come up with a different plan.
The last option they gave was to sign an agreement with them for 6 months plan but are not giving me any guarantee cheques and insist that I sign the cancellation papers. I want to simply take my money and leave the UAE.
They have also directed me to their lawyers now who insist that any agreement signed with the company is not required to be notarized by Dubai Courts and the company is not legally bound to give me any cheques as a guarantee.
The company that I worked for is located in Dubai and is a private organisation.
