Q: Dear Sir, I have a labour case in Dubai Courts and got the final judgment on my favour. Now, I am going to open the execution file. If I withdraw my case, the company is ready to pay 50 per cent of the amount. Will the execution court make any negotiations if the employer ask for deduction? Will it take a long time to make the execution?

Q: How long will the Dubai labour court take after the judgment to solve the matter if the claim value is AED 22000?

Q: Dear Madam, I have a labour case with my previous employer (private company). It started approx 10 months back and court judgement came in favour of me. I am following up with the execution court to get my money. As advised by them, a request was submitted to block the company trade license, letter to banks where the company holds an account was sent in order to transfer money to the court. Question 1) How long will the procedure take to get my money? (Please note that its a private company and they are still working) Question 2) Meanwhile I got an information that they are fabricating a false case against me to counter this stating that I didn't do my job properly and made a mistake that caused damages to the company. Will the court accept such cases? And what action shall I take in such case? Your response will be highly appreciated.

Q: I have received my labor case verdict, on 6th May 2021, after which I approach Adheed center to check it on 9th May 2021. They took AED 105 fee for the notification to be sent to my previous employer, and asked me to come back after 10 days to check the status. I have few questions related to it. What to expect next? How long will it take to get my money from the company?

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.

The law promulgates UAE Civil Procedures Code (Civil Procedure Law) which governs civil procedures in the United Arab Emirates, including the prosecution before the courts, litigation and execution.

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).
