تخفيض الراتب ومستحقات الإجازة عند الاستقالة بسبب فيروس كورونا

Dear Questioner,

Thank You for contacting me!

Please note that your employer cannot reduce your salary without your written approval. You may challenge this before the ministry of labor.

Further, regarding your leave salary, please note that as per Article 78 of UAE labor law, "Each worker shall be entitled to his basic wage and the housing allowance, if applicable, in respect of his days of annual leave".

Your employer is legally obligated to pay you basic and housing allowance only against your leave salary, not the full salary. Releasing a full salary as a vacation salary is a general practice and not as per the legal requirements.

Hope the above explanation throws light on your current situation.

Thank you!

Regards,

Rajasree Ravivarma
