Q: Hi Ma'am,
I have worked for a company almost 12 years as an accounts manager, and the company decided now to outsource a finance team.
The outsourced company offered me a job and they will give me the same package, but I will be working in this company only for 3 months then I will be sent to other clients as well.
This is an Indian outsourced company and I have taken a decision that I am not willing to work with an outsourced company which is unknown to me.
I am working as per JAFZA visa for 12 years. The company gave me a letter with subject stating the cancellation of the contract and I will be served for 30 days notice period.
So, can you please explain to me how I will go through in this situation and what benefits will I get as per JAFZA rules and regulations?
Thanking you in advance for the help and I wait for your reply in this.

Non-payment of salary and the proper legal action
2
Q: Sir.
I am working in a restaurant as a food supervisor.
I was working in a restaurant in Dubai, where I got an AED 5000 salary. A managing director of a restaurant in Abu Dhabi asked me to join his restaurant.
That time he offered me a salary of AED 7000, so I resigned from my job in the Dubai restaurant.
After I joined the Abu Dhabi restaurant, he mentioned in my labour contract AED 4500 salary only.
That time he said above AED 5000 salary I have to pay more amount for the insurance, and the remaining balance amount he will give cash or cheque. So, I signed the contract.
After that, he did not pay my salary properly. I was working around 11 months, but he paid only 6 months. In these 6 months, he also paid my basic salary only (in my contract, the basic salary is AED 3500 and other allowances are AED 1000, in total salary is AED 4500).
Now, he is saying that he's not going to pay because I bring losses to his business.
So please help me with this situation, Sir.

ماهية الإستشارة القانونية 0
إن الاستشارات القانونية هي أحد أهم أعمال المحاماة، وقد يعتقد البعض أنه ليس من الضروري تعيين محامي متخصص لأعمالهم أو شركاتهم إلا في حال التعرض لمشاكل قانونية، إلا أن حقيق الأمر تتطلب الحذر دائمًا، فبدلًا من أن تواجه ردود أفعال غير مرغوب فيها قد تكلفك الكثير من الوقت والجهد والمال، يمكنك الحصول على استشارة قانونية أياً كانت قيمتها فلا تقارن بقيمة الخسائر المادية والمشاكل القانونية التي قد تنتج عن التصرف بدونها، ولعل كثرة القضايا والمنازعات سببها عدم أخذ الرأي القانوني من أهل الخبرة.

How can I vacate my tenant if the rental agreement ends before the eviction notice deadline? 2
My Dubai tenant's rental agreement is ending by the end of September 2024 and the completion of 12 months of legally served Eviction Notice is the end of December 2024.
I have two questions:
(a) Can I send a rent increase notice 3 months before as the rent has increased as per the RERA rent calculator?
(b) The second question is, do I have to renew the rental agreement for 3 months (until December 2024) or not?
Thank you.

How can I reach a settlement with the bank for a mortgage of a jointly owned property? 0
I have a jointly owned property in Abu Dhabi. The mortgage was defaulted on as I had to leave the property with my children following an assault by my ex-husband. He left the country in 2018 and never paid the mortgage.
As I was in the country, the bank filed a criminal case against me, and I was sentenced to 3 years. I won the appeal against the bank and then filed another criminal case a few months later in Dubai. Again, I won and paid a fine.
In 2019, the bank started a civil case against me and my ex-husband to have the property repossessed. However, at the time of the purchase of the property, there were no Title Deeds, the bank requires this.
I cannot give them the Title Deeds to sell the property and pay back the amount owed to them as my ex-husband refuses to provide a POA. The bank has filed another criminal case against me only for our jointly owned property.
I wish to resolve this and pay off the bank and receive any money left from the sale. How can I resolve this issue of the Title Deeds?

Can a real estate agency hold a percentage of a property sale until transfer is done? 0
A real estate agency has signed an MOU stating that a 10% security deposit from the buyer and the seller will be kept in the real estate agency and will be released upon transferring the property.
The transfer of the property was blocked due to the court order.
According to my colleagues, the real estate agency is not a trustee and they are not allowed to have taken my security check in the first place, is this correct?
