Q: Hello!
Good day!
I just want to ask some questions regarding my employer. I resigned from my job as a security guard here in Sharjah. My company is based in Abudhabi Mussafah workers village.
My last day of duty is this coming June 11, 2021. I finished 955 days without taking any vacation from the company.
When I asked about my plane ticket in HR, they refused to give it. According to them, due to my resignation, they are not allowed to provide a ticket at their expense as per the company rule. Is it right?
Thank you!

Q: Sir, I want to go to my home country for treatment. They can give me annual vacation but they told me that you need to buy a ticket.
But I can not afford a ticket because I have some problem in my home county. I spent so many money here but my problem is still not solved.

Canceling my MoU and getting my deposit back due to a low bank valuation and overpriced property 1
Hi,
I wanted to purchase a 2-bedroom apartment in JVC Dubai. I gave a 10% security deposit cheque to the seller. The price mentioned in the MoU is very high compared to other similar apartments in the same building.
The bank’s valuation also came in very low. Since the valuation is much lower, how can I terminate the MoU and get my cheque back? The MoU ends on 1st October 2024.
One of the articles in the MoU states:
In the event that the Buyer fails to make the payments as agreed or fails to complete the transfer on the agreed date due to his own acts or omissions, the Seller has the right to terminate this agreement and retain the deposit, provided that the termination is due to a violation of the agreed terms, unless both parties agree amicably to different dates.
I need help urgently.
