Can the employee claim compensation from the employer for work abuse?

Hello legal advisers and lawyers,

What is the compensation I can get from my employer's violation and abuse of me?

- No days off.

- 12 hours working per day for 4 months.

- On my 5th month it became 24 hours work per day and they give rest only 3-4 hours a day then back to work. For the whole month, even I was crying for refusal.

- Not enough food.

- Not paid fairly according to working hours.

- Refusal from the medical test.

- No visible contract.

- No medical insurance.

- Forced to work 24 hours against my will and reason for me to get too sick, restless and sleepless.

- Passport was confiscated by my employer.

- Emirates ID was also confiscated by them.

- These are the reasons why I left my job to save myself from possible death.

Dear questioner,

You need to raise a complaint against your employer in MOHRE and mention all of the above to them.

If you prove that they overworked you, you can get compensation for all the extra hours and days you have worked.

For more information please contact us through phone call or Whatsapp.
