The employment steps after getting an offer letter

Hi,

My friend got a job in a restaurant here as a clerk, and the employer gave her a job offer letter and even she did her medical and Emirates ID, there is no stamping from his side.

The employer keeps on saying that his trade license is under process. Does it take 3 months to process? It's more than 3 months that my friend went for issuing medical and Emirates ID.

She is not getting a salary as she has not been told to join as of now. What steps can she take?

Firstly, the offer letter and any other documents that your friend signed must be studied and see precisely the parties, the terms and the conditions, and the date from which the employee should start.

Secondly, if the visa application process has started already, the employer must already have a license; otherwise, the employer can not begin the visa application process.

At this stage, it must be determined who the employer is and the sponsor, followed by the commencement of employment date.
