The contract submitted by my employer is different from the offer letter

Hello sir/madam,

I was hired by my employer and the company offer letter was given to me. I worked for 3 months before my visit visa expiry.

Before my visit visa expiry, I was given the last page of the labor contract to sign and give my fingerprint saying it's for my employment visa.

While processing my papers for Emirate ID, I discovered that the salary agreement on the offer letter I received and signed is different from the labor contract submitted by my employer.

Also, working hours were agreed on 9 hours but I work for 12 hours a day with no break.

Finally, when I complained, the boss brought a cancellation letter.

Dear questioner,

Regarding the second contract they made you sign, you should have read it before but anyway the 12 hours of working are illegal according to the Labor Law.

Therefore, you can file a complaint at the MOHRE.

If you need any further information or legal assistance, do not hesitate to contact us via phone, WhatsApp, or email.

Regards,

A complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, and advice, that will not benefit you because the employer will deny any previous agreement between you.
