Is it possible to have a divorce case and leave the country? Do I have to stay in the UAE if the divorce is still not done? The procedures are very slow and I cannot be in the UAE in the upcoming months. What are the options for dealing with the divorce and the court while being abroad?

Dear Sir, My contract is a fulltime employee for a company in the UAE, and my leave entitlement state 10 weeks work and 2 weeks off. However, due to the COVID-19, I have been unable to take that leave and have accrued two months leave or 61 days with four flight tickets. My question is, can my company legally cancel those accrued days at the start of the new year or would they have to pay me for those days?

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.

After working for my employer for nearly two years on an unlimited contract as a COO of a restaurant company, my employer owes me approx 193000, not including notice period. I have filed a case with the MOHRE. They have tried to contact the employer who has ignored the calls and is also ignoring me. I know that I will have to escalate the complaint but, based on experience with the way the employer treats past employees and how he ignores suppliers and landlords, it is fair to assume that he will ignore this as well. I have little options and I have to leave the country as the apartment rent paid by the company expires mid-July. If I leave, can I maintain the complaint, and what is the likelihood of getting the money owed in this scenario when I travel back to the UK?

I am a fresh graduate who has been a full-time intern with a company that only covers transportation for over a year while completing my studies. I graduated this May. In March of this year, they offered me a full-time employment contract since I was now near completion of my degree. They still kept me on the internship allowance (AED 1000) until I submit all documents for visa processing. I have submitted all my documents for processing towards the end of May. My grace period after cancellation has also expired on the 25th of June. They are still paying me the internship allowance. Now that the visa is pending on their side, shouldn't they be paying me the full salary? I also think they should have paid me the full salary once I signed the contract regardless of the visa status since I was already working for them. Please let me know whether I should push the company to pay my full salary since the time I signed the contract (March) or only since this month (visa pending on their side)?
