Q: Hi, I was on a visit visa in Dubai in September 2016, I got a job and my employer applied for my employment visa in Oct 2016. When signing contract although I'm a real estate broker and that what is written in my offer letter as well, they put my visa under archives clerk as to avoid the cost of RERA certification. Also, the company was telling me to sell financial products which I have no experience in, so I resigned and left for India as my tourist visa was about to expire, my previous company is not ready to cancel my visa. Does this automatically put a 6 months ban on me and will it affect my ability to get a visit visa as my sister is based in Dubai? Please note that I have not entered UAE on their visa and it's expired on 17 Dec 2016.

Q: Madam, I'm new in the UAE, and now working as a safety officer since July. I would like to resign, and I'm actually in my probation period. I would like to know from which date does our probation period start, is it from the day the employee labour contract started, the day of joining or from the day when the visa stamped? Please help me with the proper information.

Q: Hi there, I am new in Dubai and recently got a job. I started last September 15, 2019. The company itself is great but my immediate supervisor has been very difficult. He loves pointing mistakes, which he said so himself. He would make you feel unworthy to the point of breaking your spirit. I think I'm going to cry again. I want to leave but I am scared they will put a ban on my passport and make me pay penalties. My visa is in the process now. I completed my medical last September 6. What should I do? PLEASE HELP!

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).
