Q: Good day, My name is Roy, and I'm a Filipino citizen working in Abu Dhabi western region as a massage therapist for 2 months now. I have a limited contract, and I want to quit now due to the unhealthy environment here in the company. This is because of the bad experience here with the management and the customers, and most customers here are forcing me to do bad things such as suck their private parts, massage their private parts, and so much more. I cant take this anymore and I want to resign because this is traumatizing me in many ways emotionally and mentally. How can I go without penalty? My manager and my boss don't let me go and they don't understand my fear and feelings please help

Q: Dear Sir/ Madam. I am working in Sharjah on a limited contract as a chemical engineer. Since last month, my company started to use some illegal chemical. So I sent an email and warned them to stop that. However, in response, they abused and threatened me. In this environment, I resigned from the job with a 6-week notice and continued doing my duties as normal. I have a doubt that after the notice period they might refuse to cancel my visa or delay the cancellation. Please advise me what can I do in this situation. I also mentioned in resignation that the reason for leaving is due to the illegal activities of the company.

Q: I have opened a judgement execution file recently for my salary case. Can I cancel my existing employer visa and start another job?

Q: The final settlement is not given by the company (when I filed a complaint about the ladies harassment they threw me out of the company). They threatened me to write a resignation letter like as per the cost-cutting measures I am resigning from the office. I need to know what can I do for this.

Q: Good day, My manager has been shouting at me over the phone, insulting, harassing, bullying & slandering for 2 hours. All because I got very sick & sent her sick leave. I'm aware that it's not allowed to record the phone conversation according to the UAE law & I was at home as I live alone & don't have a witness on the moment of the phone conversation. Now the manager denies what's mentioned above. What can I do in such a situation? Thank you

Q: Dear sir/madam, I joined a company in December. My manager was on leave for 2 months and returned back. Since he is back, he micromanages me and is verbally abusive, and shouts at me in the office and in front of others. He keeps threatening me that when my 6 months are up, he will fire me as I’m not performing according to him. I have documented/journaled every time he has been abusive and what he said. I have a daily tracker of my work and everything that I am working on. What are my legal rights? He is the marketing director of a larger group and I was hired as a dedicated resource to handle marketing for one of the larger entities.

The UAE has adopted a major reform in its legislative system that brought about 40 new laws and amendments to the company law, criminal law, personal status, among others. The amendments aim to develop the legislative structure in various sectors, the labor law being one of these, was the most recent. We try in this article to shed light on the changes introduced with the new labor law and their significance on both, the employer and employee.

The provisions of this Law, known as "UAE Labour Law", govern the relationship between employers and employees and other labour matters in the United Arab Emirates. There are special labour related regulations applicable in some of the free zones in the UAE.

This Decree sets the rules and conditions for the termination of fixed-term (limited) or unlimited (not term-bound) employment contract between employer and worker in the United Arab Emirates.

The provisions of this Decree-Law, known as "New UAE Labor Law", govern labour relations in the private sector of the United Arab Emirates. The New Labor Law repeals the previous UAE Labor Law (Federal Law No. (8) of 1980).
