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)?

Hi, We recently bought a villa in Dubai. We are looking for an advocate for legal advice. Even though the old owner gave the tenant a 90-day notice about the new rent, the tenant is not agreeing to the notice because it didn't come from us. Since the renewal is in October and we bought the property in September, we don't have 90 days to notify the tenant of the new rent. The tenant agreed to the new rent in an email with the old owner 90 days ago. Can we dispute this?

My family and I had an accident. The incident occurred the very next day of their arrival in the UAE on a residence entry permit and their visa//health insurance was still in process. With gods grace, everyone was discharged from the hospital on the 3rd day after many tests and keeping us under observation. We were slapped with a hefty bill as my family was not holding any health insurance. What are the chances that I could claim the medical expenses through the vehicle insurance, as it covers co-passengers as well?

My brother's wife got pregnant with another guy. He wants to file a case against them. What will happen to them if ever?

I am working in a company and their management is the worst. They made an interview in India and called me. After calling me here, they again made interviews and made me work for 1 month. And now, they're telling me I am not capable of work and they are mentally torturing me. I have given them 1.5 lack in office in India and here they are not paying me any salary. I am going into depression as I am not getting any solutions. The only solution coming to my mind is a suicide, I don’t have any other options left. I have taken money in interest and people are daily coming to my house for money. Please guide me in a proper way on what I can do.

كنت مديرًا وشريكًا بشركة ذات مسؤولية محدودة، وبحكم وظيفتي بصفتي مديرًا للشركة، وقَّعت شيك ضمان لأحد العملاء بمعاملة تجارية باستخدام دفتر شيكات الشركة، وبعد عامين تركت وظيفتي وانسحبت من الشركة وسلَّمتها لمدير وشريك آخر. حدثت بعد هذا التاريخ خلافات تجارية بين الشركة من ناحية وبين العميل من ناحية أخرى فرفع العميل دعوى مدنية ضدي وضد الشركة. ما موقفي وحجتي القانونية في هذه المشكلة مع العلم أن قيمة الشيك مُثبتَة بالعقد ومُعرَّفة على أنها شيك ضمان وليس وفاء؟ شكرًا لحضراتكم!
