I joined a hospital as an office staff a month ago and have been working for one month. Now I am under a probation period which is for 6 months. I am on a husband's visa and did not take any facilities such as medical insurance, accommodation, or visa. I am not comfortable with the work atmosphere and would like to resign from there. What will be the financial and legal consequences? I heard they normally charge 45 days salary and a ban is imposed even under probation period. What should I do to terminate the contract?

I was terminated from employment in June 2021 after receiving and working 1 month's notice. I was on an unlimited contract. I am still waiting for 2 months' salary, gratuity and leave payment which my employer accepts is due but still not paid. I have raised a complaint with MOHRE and have the approval to go to Court. However, I was terminated as a result of the employer citing that due to COVID-19 they need to reduce salaries by 30%, letter dated 22nd Apr 2021. As I refused to sign, I was then terminated, via a letter dated 3rd May 2021, which stated "due to restructuring", my position had become redundant. The question is - Am I able to claim Arbitrary Dismissal for up to 3 months salary for the unfair termination?

السلام عليكم، لقد اضطررت لتوقيع استقالتي قبل أخذ مستحقاتي. هل يمنعني ذلك من المطالبة بمستحقاتي طبقًا لقانون العمل الإماراتي؟ علمًا بأن عقدي محدد المدة ولم يتم إخطاري كتابة.

السلام عليكم، أشكركم على هذه الخدمة الجليلة ووقتكم الثمين! رفعت زوجتي قضية طلاق للضرر في محكمة الشارقة الشرعية وخسرتها (لم يثبُت الضرر) واستأنفت و خسرت أيضًا. الآن رفعت قضية جديدة وعيَّنت المحكمة حكَمين وأتوقع أن تكون توصيتهم بالطلاق. سؤالي يتعلق بالأبناء، لدي ابن وابنة: الابن عمره 14 سنة و8 أشهر مقيم في الإمارات والابنة عمرها 17 سنة و5 أشهر وغير مقيمة في الإمارات وتدرس في الجامعة خارج الدولة. أسئلتي كالتالي: - هل للمحكمة ولاية على ابنتي بالرغم من أنها لا تملك إقامة في الإمارات؟ - هل يمكن للزوجة طلب الحضانة للابنة مع أنها تقيم في الإمارات بعيدًا عن الابنة؟ - هل في العادة تحكم المحكمة للأب بحضانة الابن فوق الـ11 سنة أم ستسأل الابن كي يختار مع مَن يقيم؟ - عند الطلاق لن يكون للأب زوجة، فهل يؤثر ذلك في حضانة الابن بالنسبة للأب؟ - ما النفقة المتوقعة إذا كان راتبي 17500 درهم شهريًا؟

هل يفصل القاضي في حضانة الأبناء في نفس منطوق حكم قضية الطلاق للضرر أم يفصل فيها بعد انتهاء العدة؟ الخلفية: الزوجة رفعت قضية طلاق للضرر (محكمة الشارقة الشرعية) وخسرتها ثم استأنفت وخسرتها أيضًا ولم يثبت الضرر. الآن رفعت قضية جديدة وتم تعيين حكمين من المحكمة ويُتوقَّع طلاق المدعية.

I live in Dubai Marina, and the landlord claimed that according to new Dubai Land regulations, the chiller now has to be paid by the person occupying the apartment. Even though my contract says that the landlord should pay the chiller, they want to implement this mid-contract. I understand that the terms upon renewal will be renegotiated, but on what grounds can they implement the change mid-contract? Does a new DLD regulation precede a tenancy contract? Moreover, I am receiving a disconnection notice from the chiller company due to non-payment. What can I do if this happens? Please advise.

Hello, Good afternoon! My friend works as a cleaner for a cleaning company and she now wants to resign with a 30-day notice. However, she has not completed the two-year contract and has only served for 16 months. Additionally, she has not taken any vacation leave. The sad part is that when she signed the offer letter, she did not receive a copy of it and only signed it. I would be very grateful if you could let me know if she would have to pay or if her boss has the right to not accept the resignation if the notice period mentioned in the offer letter is more than a month. Her boss has not provided her with any kind of proof that she can use in the future if anything happens.

Hello, I represent a tech-based marketplace company registered in a Freezone, in the UAE. This is in regards to the UAE's law regarding the ownership of code when there is no clause mentioned in the agreement. One of our products (web application) is being developed by an agency in the UAE. While we do have agreements in place, there is no clause regarding ownership of code. In the situation mentioned above, I've heard that the ownership of code either goes to the author or the agency that employed the author. Is this true? Your assistance and help would be of great help.
