Forcing an employee to sign a paper before receiving his dues
Hello,
To anyone who has a good heart to provide me free legal advice for my concern. My company is forcing me to sign an Arabic suing letter and it is really against my will since when I asked my friends to translate it, it was different from what I said and explained.
Now they are threatening me that I will go to jail, They don't want to process my vacation leave, vacation pay, gratuity, and even my 2 months delayed salary unless I sign the paper.
This week is also my wife's delivery for which an original passport is required, but they don't want to release my passport.
I think they broke a lot of UAE law since these actions that I mentioned are really against UAE Law.
Dear questioner,
You need some proof (like witnesses) of what has happened with you, such that you can prove that you were forced to sign on that Arabic paper.
Anyways, the fact that you do not know Arabic is alone something that could aid you in proving that this document is false.
We recommend that you make an official complaint in MOHRE as soon as possible. You can ask there for all your rights, and if they are not delivered, you can get your rights from the court (this is a labor case meaning that no charges from you are required).
