Pending application for cancellation of labour contract
2
Q: Hi Ma'am,
Hope you are fine. I got a suggestion from you last week regarding my Labor and Visa cancellation. As I told you, my case is in Labor Department in Dubai Courts. I already have the judgement.
I went to Tasheel for labor cancellation. I had 200 AED fine on me and made the new application with the payment of 103 AED. The application was submitted on 17th of this month but until now Labor Ministry didn't approve it. And I am waiting for this to get my visa cancellation from Immigration.
Can you please advise me how long does it take for the labor cancellation? Your reply will be highly appreciated.
Regards

What to do if you have pending labour case and your visa is over?
17
Q: Good day,
After completing 1.6 yrs work I was terminated from the company (the reason is low performance as per company opinion). I was terminated without any notice period.
I filed a case in Labour Department for non-payment of the end of service gratuity and all benefits. A company representative didn't come to the Labour Department after 48 hrs and is still refusing to pay the full amount.
Then I filed a case in the court, then I was sent from the court to a typing center service. In typing center they typed something and told me to come back after 10 days. In the meantime, I have only 7 days left to exit the country as per my visa cancellation.
How and where will I check for my overstaying in Dubai due to this case I open in the court and typing center told me to come back after 10 days?
Thanks

View allندب خبير مصرفي للبطاقات الائتمانية 0
السلام عليكم ورحمة اللة وبركاته
لدي استفسار بخصوص رفع دعوى ندب خبير مصرفي لدراسة البطاقات الائتمانية في حال كان هناك تسوية لتحويل الرصيد المحمل بالفوائد المتراكمة إلى أقساط شهرية.
ففي هذه الحالة لا يقوم البنك بتزويد الخبير كشوفات الحساب من تاريخ إصدار البطاقة، ويكتفي بتزويد الخبير الكشوفات من بداية الخطة مما يرتب علي عدم تصفية الحسابات بشكل حسابي دقيق.
ماهي الاجراءات المتبعة لإلزام البنك بتزويد كافة الكشوفات منذ إصدار البطاقة لأن أصل الدين كان محملاً بالفوائد المتراكمة وثم تم تحميل الرصيد مرة أخرى بفوائد على أصل الدين والفوائد المتراكمة؟
حيث أن هناك خلط كبير بتعريف خطة الدفع بالتقسيط محملة بفوائد جديدة وبين تسوية بين البنك والعميل لتخفيف مبلغ أصل الدين بنسبة معينة ودفع المبلغ على ٦ أو ١٢ شهراً دون زيادة فوائد جديدة.

Cancellation of visa from old employer to work for a new employer 0
My employer is not cancelling me. They terminated me last November and accused me of stealing which was not proven.
Now, I have a new offer letter, though the salary is lesser. I informed them so they can cancel me already and she agreed as per her message.
But now it’s been two weeks and she’s not replying to me anymore. I’m on a limited contract and finished 6 months probation with their company.
Will there still be a labour ban?
If she files an absconding case against me, what should I do?

المطالبة باسترداد الأقساط المدفوعة للمطور بسبب التأخر في تسليم العقار 0
السلام عليكم
أنا مواطن خليجي اشتريت شقة قيد الإنشاء في دبي، مشروع royal estates تحديداً. المبلغ الاجمالي ٣٣٠،٠٠٠ درهم.
دفعت قرابة ٥٦٪ من قيمة العقار حتى الآن، واكتشفت قبل عدة أيام أن المشروع متوقف عن العمل.
*طريقة الدفع المتفق عليها في العقد كانت كالتالي:
١- دفع ١٠٪ من قيمة العقار مقدماً.
٢- دفعات شهرية لمدة ٣ سنوات (٣٦ دفعة).
٣- دفع ٢٠٪ من قيمة العقار عند الاستلام.
٤- دفعات شهرية لمدة سنة ونصف (١٨ دفعة).
حتى الان دفعت ١٠٪ مقدم و ٣٦ دفعة بالكامل، ما يعادل ٥٦٪ من قيمة العقار تقريباً. على أساس أن الدفعة المطلوبة القادمة ستكون عند التسليم.
علماً بأن التسليم كان متوقعاً بعد شهرين من الآن، لكن لم يبنى المشروع بعد. والآن تقول الشركة أن التسليم في ديسمبر ٢٠١٨. علماً بأن المشروع في دائرة الأراضي والأملاك متوقف، under cancellation decision
١- فما هي نصيحتكم لي؟
٢-هل يمكن المطالبة عن المبالغ السابقة بالإضافة إلى تعويض وأتعاب المحاماة؟ وكم ممكن يكون التعويض؟
٣-وكم ممكن أن تكلفني القضية بالكامل؟
أتمنى أن يكون ردكم سريع وكامل لأنني أريد المطالبة بالمبلغ بأسرع وقت، ونعتذر لطول الموضوع.

Calculation of the End of Service Gratuity upon termination 0
I am looking for advice on how to best proceed with receiving the amount of gratuity promised in my contract. I have worked for my employer for 4 years on an unlimited contract.
One month before my visa renewal, the employer informed me that they will not renew my visa and will end the working relationship. My contract states that my basic salary is AED 13,000, with no subdivisions.
Now, the employer claims that this was a mistake and they meant to write AED 6,000 as basic salary and allocate the rest for travel, living etc. They are only willing to pay the gratuity based on this amount.
Please advise, what is the amount the employer owes me as gratuity and how to proceed?

Liability of a restaurant for injury caused to customer 0
Hi.
We had an incident at a restaurant's outdoor event for families.
At their food stalls, there was nowhere any signs that the stalls are hot on the front customer-facing side or even covered.
Kids were running around and accidentally our daughter touched one panel and got a severe 2nd-degree burn. This happened on Friday and we have been to hospital each day to change the dressing and cut off skin.
I wonder if there is any legal action I can take against the restaurant, and what might the outcome be?
Thanks
