How to act against the non-payment of salaries
Hello,
What should I do if it has been two months but still I haven't received my December 2017 salary?
In addition, it seems like my company is not doing anything to pay my salary.
Kindly give me some advice about it, since I'm just new here in the UAE.
Dear Questioner,
The UAE Labor law and the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization (MOHRE) regulations have set a few rules which act as a barrier to protect the workers in the UAE.
One of the major red lines is to refrain from payment of salaries to the employees, as in your case.
You have the right to file a complaint against your employer through MOHRE, to claim your unpaid salary and get compensated as well for up to 3-month salary because of such damages if you wish to terminate your employment relationship with such employer.
We advise you to sit down with a qualified legal consultant who can check your contract and advise you on the best way to proceed.
Please let me know if you would like to have such a meeting.
Best regards,
Ahmed Elnaggar
