Q: I am a resident in the UAE & have rental properties back in the Philippines. One of my tenants is also a UAE resident.
We have an existing agreement that is notarized in the Philippines. I have been patient & diplomatic with her but she keeps giving empty promises.
Now, she owes me 4 months of rent. I need your advice on what I can do in this case.
Can I file a case against her in the UAE?
Thank you so much in advance.
Regards,
H.

View allConverting an unlimited contact to a limited one without the employee's knowledge 0
Hi,
I am resigning from my company after working for 3 years. I signed another contract after the first 2 years were completed.
I was under the impression that the entire time my contract was unlimited but now I am being told that it was changed to limited.
Not only was this done without my knowledge but I am now being told that legally I am not entitled to ANY gratuity after 3 years because I am resigning before my 2 years is finished. Is this legal?

Can the employee take annual leave before finishing one year in service? 0
Hi,
I am an employee working here in Dubai, UAE for 10 months now.
I'm planning to file a leave for 2 days, however, my colleague informed me that as per the company policy, they consider it as absent then I will get a full basic + accommodation only.
So I am confused now because this was not the practice in the previous company. Appreciate it if I could get free advice on this matter.

What to do if the new employer renewed my ID and visa without giving me a contract? 0
Hi.
My new employer renewed my ID and visa. The only thing is that when my Emirates ID and visa were done, they didn't show me any contract nor did I sign it.
They didn't provide me with a copy of it. So I want to ask if I can complain regarding this matter?
Thanks in advance.
