Q: Hi,
I received an offer letter from a company. I had an interview but it was conducted in a private residence instead of an office. The offer letter does not contain the formula for commission or the job description.
Kindly advise if this information needs to be clearly outlined in the contract.

Employment offer letter and work permit in the UAE
146
Q: Sir,
I am currently in India. An offer letter was sent to me by an employer and I have signed it.
Later, I came to know that this company tortures the workers and even salaries are not paid in time. I am scared.
A week ago, they sent me an email asking me to sign "prerequisite for the issuance of work permit", which I have not yet responded.
Will I have to face a ban if I do not sign it? Can they issue a visa for me without me signing it?
Please help me.

Q: Hi,
A friend of mine (Now In India) applied for a job in a UAE company and he received the offer letter. He also submitted a signed JOC (Job offer certificate) before one month, but still did not receive the employment visa.
When I called the Company HR department, he told me that the visa is under process and the current status is under security approval.

View allTerminating an employee after sick leave and claiming compensation 0
Hello,
My employer fired me under Article 44 for not showing up for work for 7 days in a row. But that’s not the case at all. I was sick and the management was aware and they let me go.
I went to another country to get treatment because it’s expensive in Dubai. My employer did not pay me my salary for the month I worked and fired me.
I have official sick leave from another country and there is correspondence where my employer sent me to another country for treatment.
The problem is that the employer says that he will take compensation for the training that was specified in the contract, but I did not undergo training at all; I immediately started work from the first day of work and there was no training.
Does my employer have the right to charge me such a fee and not pay my salary?

How to cancel the MoU to buy an apartment with the broker if the bank did not approve the loan? 0
Hi,
I have a situation where I signed an MoU and gave my security deposit to the seller's agent. However later, the bank valuation of the property is lower than the selling price.
On my MoU, it has a clause that “the buyer has a right to cancel/negotiate if the bank valuation is not the same as MoU.” I tried to negotiate, however, we didn't agree on the price so I asked to cancel.
Now the agent is threatening me that they will not cancel the MoU and that will deposit my cheque. Later I also came to know that the person I am dealing with is not the same person whose name is mentioned as a broker in the MoU.
The agent I am dealing with is constantly messaging me with threats. I decided not to speak to him and instead, I wrote an email to the broker whose name is mentioned on the MoU but received no response.
I am on a very tight timeline as I need to vacate my apartment in 3 weeks, I found another unit but I don't know if I can pursue this while the initial MoU still not canceled.
Please, I need advice.
