Working at the company of the husband without labour contract

0
Q: Hello,
I’m in Abu Dhabi under my husband’s sponsorship. He has his own company in the UAE. I’m officially part of my husband's company as the CCO, it’s mentioned on the website and on social media.
However, we never made an employment contract and I don’t receive a fixed salary. Can I face any trouble for working illegally in the UAE or would this arrangement be considered legal?
Thank you!

حقوق العامل عند إنهاء عقد العمل محدد المدة بدون سبب
1
س: سيدي العزيز،
أنهت الشركة عقد العمل الخاص بي مؤخرًا حيث عملت معهم لمدة عام و6 أشهر بموجب عقد محدد المدة. كنت أعمل في مجموع 6 شركات؛ 4 منها تابعة لصاحب العمل واثنتين لزوجته وبنته (عقد العمل لشركة واحدة فقط).
عندي أكثر من 14 إيميل شكر من صاحب العمل، وتم إنهاء عقد العمل بشكل مفاجئ بسبب خلاف شخصي بتاريخ 15/09/2019. الراتب 14.000 درهم.
أردت أن أعرف إذا كنت أستحق الحصول على تعويض عن فسخ العقد محدد المدة + الفصل التعسفي.
مع الشكر والتقدير!

س: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته،
استفساري بكل اختصار:
لم أوقِّع العقد مع الشركة ولكن اشتغلت لديهم مدة شهرين ولم يدفعوا لي راتب أبدًا.
هل يمكن المطالبة بالراتب غير المدفوع للشهرين؟
علمًا بأنني أمتلك دليلاً على أنني اشتغلت لديهم بالشركة.
لكم جزيل الشكر!

المطالبة بالراتب الأخير بعد الاستقالة عند عدم وجود عقد موثَّق
2
س: السلام عليكم،
عملت في إحدى مجموعات الصيدليات الخاصة في دبي على إقامة زوجي. عند بداية العمل، وقّعت على عرض عمل ثم خطاب توظيف وقدمت عدم ممانعة عمل من زوجي ودفعت رسوم تسجيل ترخيصي الطبي وتم تفعيل الترخيص.
الآن بعد ٨ أشهر قدمت استقالتي ولم يُودَع آخر راتب. عند التحدُّث لوزارة العمل، علمت أن الراتب الأخير من حقي في خلال ١٤ يومًا من آخر يوم، لكني علمت أنه لا يوجد عقد موثّق برقم جوازي بالعمل والعمال.

مقاضاة صاحب العمل بسبب تأخير إصدار العقد بعد توقيع عرض العمل


1
س: السلام عليكم،
مرحبًا!
جئت إلى دبي بفيزا سياحية ووجدت عملاً ووقعت على عرض العمل الذي سيقدم لي الفيزا وخضعت لفترة تجريبية مدتها ٣ أشهر، ولكن إلى الآن لم يتم توقيع العقد وشارفت فيزتي السياحية على الانتهاء.
صاحب العمل لم يقدم لي أي فيزا عمل أو توقيع عقد، فمَن منا يكون المخالف هنا؟ وهل أستطيع مقاضاتهم إن لم يعطوني فيزا عمل؟

Please, I need help. I had a case where someone sent money to my account. I was selling USDT, but another person used me, scammed the person, and sent money to my account.

The judgment came out: to pay 900 AED, 1 month imprisonment, and deportation. Please, can I appeal not to be deported?

What to do if our landlord keeps ignoring maintenance requests despite a clear contract? 0
Dear All,
We have a question related to private rental law in Dubai. We have been living in the same house (rented) for the last four years.
During those years, we have had to battle our landlord for maintenance at large. Our contract states that ALL maintenance is on his account (no deductible).
We have a lot of small maintenance issues, such as kitchen cabinets that are coming loose, a sewage smell in the house, and a toilet upstairs that still doesn't work after four years (despite attempted maintenance).
How can we deal with him and get him to honor the contract and resolve all of our issues so we can use the house properly? What legal steps can we take?
We have informed him plenty of times over the four years about the problems, but he seems to "ghost" us and does not reply very often.
We have issued him a warning to get things fixed by the end of this month (via WhatsApp), but he doesn't seem to mind.
Hope you can help with advice and maybe RERA down the line.
