7
Q: I am currently employed by an engineering company since the beginning of 2014, and I have received termination notice in mid-2017 (+3 years service).
The initial full salary with the housing and transportation allowances was AED 20,000.00 and I have the breakdown of the allowances (basic salary, housing and transportation).
It was then raised to AED 30,000.00 in 2015 and the employer simply started to transfer the amount of AED 30,000.00 to my bank account without giving me any revised contract with the new payroll breakdown of the allowances.
Also, the employer never updated the Labor contract with the revised salary of 30,000.00 AED leaving the gratuity computation now open to many ambiguities. I have filed a complaint with the Ministry of Labour to seek advice on my rights.
What would be the best approach to determine the basic salary, housing and transportation from the AED 30,000.00 salary, as this information is now omissive?

Recalculation of end of service benefits
0
Q: I joined the company in April 2000 and now I am leaving the company. Just to let you know that in 2009 the company had given every employee their end of service benefits and made everyone sign one paper.
My question is that during that time my basic salary was less but now it has increased. As per now, it looks like the company will only pay the end of service benefits from 2009 till date.
I want to know if I am eligible to get the increased differences of my basic salary from 2000 to 2009 additionally.
Thank you

Claiming benefits from employer according to the last salary paid
0
Q: Dear Sir,
I want to ask a question.
I am currently working in a small workshop that includes 10 workers. My employer made my salary in the labour contract AED 700 per month, but after one year I got a driving license and he increased my salary to AED 2000.
Now I have no proof that he increased my salary, but I have salary card that mentions AED 2000. If I file a case in the labour court that he did not give me my salary for the last 4 months, then which salary does the court count, 700 or 2000?

The legal basis of calculating the end of service gratuity
2
Q: Hi,
I would like to know about the end of term gratuity here in Dubai, It says the maximum remuneration for the end of service gratuity should not exceed 2 years' pay.
Is that 2 years' pay based on the gross salary or basic salary?

Calculation of the EOSB upon termination of employment contract
0
Q: Hi Rajasree
I have worked for a company for 2 years. We have two companies with different names one in Dubai & the other one is in Sharjah.
My first visa was in Dubai; after that, there was some financial problem in the Dubai company so they changed my second visa to the Sharjah company.
They have given me a gratuity of 21 days of the month, but now they are telling me it is a wrong calculation (1/3 of 21 days). But this case is applicable only if I resigned from the job.
I am not resigning, which means the company terminated me and changed to the Sharjah company.
Kindly provide some suggestion.

View allندب خبير مصرفي للبطاقات الائتمانية 0
السلام عليكم ورحمة اللة وبركاته
لدي استفسار بخصوص رفع دعوى ندب خبير مصرفي لدراسة البطاقات الائتمانية في حال كان هناك تسوية لتحويل الرصيد المحمل بالفوائد المتراكمة إلى أقساط شهرية.
ففي هذه الحالة لا يقوم البنك بتزويد الخبير كشوفات الحساب من تاريخ إصدار البطاقة، ويكتفي بتزويد الخبير الكشوفات من بداية الخطة مما يرتب علي عدم تصفية الحسابات بشكل حسابي دقيق.
ماهي الاجراءات المتبعة لإلزام البنك بتزويد كافة الكشوفات منذ إصدار البطاقة لأن أصل الدين كان محملاً بالفوائد المتراكمة وثم تم تحميل الرصيد مرة أخرى بفوائد على أصل الدين والفوائد المتراكمة؟
حيث أن هناك خلط كبير بتعريف خطة الدفع بالتقسيط محملة بفوائد جديدة وبين تسوية بين البنك والعميل لتخفيف مبلغ أصل الدين بنسبة معينة ودفع المبلغ على ٦ أو ١٢ شهراً دون زيادة فوائد جديدة.

Cancellation of visa from old employer to work for a new employer 0
My employer is not cancelling me. They terminated me last November and accused me of stealing which was not proven.
Now, I have a new offer letter, though the salary is lesser. I informed them so they can cancel me already and she agreed as per her message.
But now it’s been two weeks and she’s not replying to me anymore. I’m on a limited contract and finished 6 months probation with their company.
Will there still be a labour ban?
If she files an absconding case against me, what should I do?

المطالبة باسترداد الأقساط المدفوعة للمطور بسبب التأخر في تسليم العقار 0
السلام عليكم
أنا مواطن خليجي اشتريت شقة قيد الإنشاء في دبي، مشروع royal estates تحديداً. المبلغ الاجمالي ٣٣٠،٠٠٠ درهم.
دفعت قرابة ٥٦٪ من قيمة العقار حتى الآن، واكتشفت قبل عدة أيام أن المشروع متوقف عن العمل.
*طريقة الدفع المتفق عليها في العقد كانت كالتالي:
١- دفع ١٠٪ من قيمة العقار مقدماً.
٢- دفعات شهرية لمدة ٣ سنوات (٣٦ دفعة).
٣- دفع ٢٠٪ من قيمة العقار عند الاستلام.
٤- دفعات شهرية لمدة سنة ونصف (١٨ دفعة).
حتى الان دفعت ١٠٪ مقدم و ٣٦ دفعة بالكامل، ما يعادل ٥٦٪ من قيمة العقار تقريباً. على أساس أن الدفعة المطلوبة القادمة ستكون عند التسليم.
علماً بأن التسليم كان متوقعاً بعد شهرين من الآن، لكن لم يبنى المشروع بعد. والآن تقول الشركة أن التسليم في ديسمبر ٢٠١٨. علماً بأن المشروع في دائرة الأراضي والأملاك متوقف، under cancellation decision
١- فما هي نصيحتكم لي؟
٢-هل يمكن المطالبة عن المبالغ السابقة بالإضافة إلى تعويض وأتعاب المحاماة؟ وكم ممكن يكون التعويض؟
٣-وكم ممكن أن تكلفني القضية بالكامل؟
أتمنى أن يكون ردكم سريع وكامل لأنني أريد المطالبة بالمبلغ بأسرع وقت، ونعتذر لطول الموضوع.

Liability of a restaurant for injury caused to customer 0
Hi.
We had an incident at a restaurant's outdoor event for families.
At their food stalls, there was nowhere any signs that the stalls are hot on the front customer-facing side or even covered.
Kids were running around and accidentally our daughter touched one panel and got a severe 2nd-degree burn. This happened on Friday and we have been to hospital each day to change the dressing and cut off skin.
I wonder if there is any legal action I can take against the restaurant, and what might the outcome be?
Thanks

Cancellation of visa after a labour complaint for unpaid salaries 0
Hi,
I've not been paid in almost 3 months, so I reported my employer to the Ministry of Labour but I am awaiting a hearing with a legal representative.
I want to cancel my visa but my employer is insisting I serve 30 days' notice. How can I leave without being reported for absconding?
I've also secured another job in another emirate so I want to resolve the issue rather quickly.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
