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: Hi Sir/Madam, I won the case against my employer in February 2020. After that, as the claim amount is AED 21,500/-, my employer filed an appeal against that judgment. However, on 17/11/2020, the court delivered the judgement and the appeal made by my employer was rejected and whatever appealed judgement was stood final. Now, what do I need to do for the payment follow up? Is it possible for my employer to appeal again against this order? How much time will it take to get the payment? Thanks so much in advance.

Q: Hi, I need your legal advice, please. Is there a time frame for my ex-employer as to when he will pay? I filed an arrest warrant and ban of trade license against him and it's approved by the court, it has been almost 2 weeks now since I filed and until now there is no update from the court. Please need your advice as trying to contact the court but they are not responding.

Q: What is the process of execution stage in a labor case and how do we go about it? Thank you

An interview-format article covering the topic of filing an employment court case in the UAE. This is from the legal podcast of lawyer Ludmila Yamalova, the founder of Lawgical with LYLAW.

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.

There is an execution against me in the UAE; what should I do? How do I cancel the arrest warrant and summons, and how do I deal with the travel ban? Dear readers, we present this simplified article, in which we explain the implementation procedures briefly, how the defendant can deal with them, and the options he can take to enforce the judgment smoothly while decreasing the damages of implementation as much as possible.

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).
