تخفيض الراتب بسبب الجائحة الحالية والمطالبة باستعادة الراتب العادي

Hello,

Thank you for your question!

Based on U.A.E. laws and regulations, your employer should not be able to make an amendment to your employment contract without your approval and sign-off. This includes amendments related to your salary.

If you do not agree to the reduction, then we recommend raising these concerns to your employer. Should they refuse to address your concerns, then you have the option to resign.

It will be helpful to take another look at your employment contract, and specifically any amendments that were made to it reflecting the salary reduction.

For example, did the amendment state that the salary reduction would last for a period of up to 6 months?

If that is the case, then once the 6 months passed, you should have been able to speak with your employers to reinstate your previous salary.

Should you require further tailored substantive legal advice, kindly send an email and we would be delighted to assist you.

Kind regards,

Ludmila
