Claiming compensation from an employer due to an insult

Hi,

I am working in a free zone company in Dubai since 2016 as an accountant.

Can I claim compensation for self-respect, as my boss insulted me by calling in an animal name in front of all for a mistake which I couldn't bear and don't want to continue with this company anymore?

Indeed you can, but you need witnesses.

Thanks for your kind reply!

I have my colleagues as witnesses. If so, how can I claim compensation?

First, you need to register a police report.

Second, file a claim against him before the public prosecution, then when the case is referred to the criminal court, you will have to register a compensation case before the civil court.
