Hello sir, We have an employee who was under probation period on a limited contract and with our company visa. The performance is poor and it is found that he is working for another company (his old work) while working with us. So the management decided to terminate the contract. Apart from the salary, do we have to pay his ticket fare?

As-salam Alaikum, My labor execution case number is {.....}. Al Adheed center asked me to get back after 21 days. More than 21 days are completed, but they are still asking me to wait till June 01. It is still in process. I need to know how long will it take to get my settlement from the company? Kindly advise me! Thanks & Regards,

I recently purchased a property in Springs which is rented till September. I need legal advice on the procedure to send an eviction notice to my tenant as I need to occupy the property for personal use. As far as I read in the RERA legislation Page 108-110, Article (25) - Section - 2, if the landlord wants to occupy the property for personal use, 90 days notice is sufficient. But the tenant insists to have a 12-month notice. What are my options and is it possible to send a legal notice to the tenant to vacate the premises at the end of the rent contract? Kindly advise

Greetings, The property was supposed to be delivered in June 2018 and is still not delivered. If they actually deliver by June 2021, what are my rights to the compensation? At the time of purchase, it was a 50-50 payment plan. I paid the 50% at the time of purchase and in September 2019 they came back to me with an offer of a discount of 16% in the final settlement amount. I accepted and paid the remaining amount as well. Therefore as of September 2019, I have paid 100% of the property value. With all the financial challenges the delay has brought me into, I want to know what compensation is my right as I am assuming they will not be offering anything or if they do they might offer some waiver in service charges (for 1 or 2 years). And I am worried if they give this waiver of service charges to everyone, will the property be actually taken care of or no?

Hello, I am originally from the UK and relocated to Dubai in 2004 when my company established a new office. I originally joined the same company in 2001, based in the London office. Since then, I have grown with the organization and am in a middle management role. Recently, the company announced they would downsize the Dubai office, and affected staff would be offered to relocate back to an office in their home country (India) or to the new office being established in Spain. I have been advised that my present role will be made redundant in Dubai but have been offered a new role in Spain. The new role is seen as a promotion but there are little to no benefits and it's a major drop in salary (basic salary would drop by 40%). There are no additional allowances. Currently, I receive basic salary + allowances. I have been in the UAE since 2004 and my options appear to be limited to accept redundancy or a new role with a significant drop in salary. Would this be considered constructive dismissal?

Dear All, Please do let me know how long does the court of appeal take to make a judgement. Can a court of appeal reject the appeal submitted by the defendant? I am looking for a good labour attorney, would appreciate it if you can give me your contact details. Thank you and looking forward!

My employer put my salary in the agreement as 800 AED since 2012 and still the same. But, my present salary is 2000 AED. Q1: How they will pay my gratuity if I cancel my visa from the company? According to my agreement salary or my present salary? Q2: If they hold my passport after canceling my visa, then what can I do? Requesting your help in answering these 2 questions.

I signed an offer letter and a copy of a contract in a company located in Dubai Design District. I resigned from my current company located in Jebel Ali and will be ending my noticed period on April 4, 2021. Now the new company is really unclear about when I can start joining them. If the company does not pursue my hiring, but I have already resigned and lost my job, are there any legal complaints and claims I can file?

I have a working visa in the UAE. I have decided to apply for an EU passport. Once I receive it, I need to surrender my original passport to the consulate since my country does not allow dual nationality. I will be informing my company HR about this. I would like to know: 1. Can the company terminate me since I have joined under a different nationality? 2. What will happen to my end-of-service benefits? 3. Do I have to undergo a medical test, get a new Emirates ID, update my bank accounts, phone registration, and other documentation? 4. Anything else to be done?

Good afternoon. The company terminated my unlimited full-time employment contract after 3 years, so not renewing my visa. I am working on my own visa now and continue as a freelancer. But they want me to sign their freelance/consultancy agreement with a clause that I am not allowed to work for any of their competitors (but they don't provide me with a visa, medical, no benefits, even not giving me enough working hours). 1) Is it legal to ask a freelancer for this exclusivity? 2) How I can be a freelancer and not allowed to work for other companies? 3) What shall I do if I still want to continue working with them but need other jobs in other companies to have enough income to pay my bills? 4) Am I entitled to gratuity? Because they didn't mention it. Thank you
