ما الإجراء الواجب اتخاذه ضد شركة لخفض الرواتب دون موافقة؟

Dear Questioner,

I notice that you have multiple concerns regarding the employment and the actions of your employer.

Firstly, please note that your employer is not legally entitled to deduct the salaries without the employee's written consent.

If your employer is deducting the visa, insurance or cancellation charges... etc. from your salary, this is clearly against the UAE Labor Laws.

Any customer outstanding shall not be deducted from the employee's salary. You may register a complaint against your employer with the appropriate authority [MoHRE or free zone authority as applicable].

Further, including non-competition clauses during the renewal is not something you can object to. But you may understand the ambit of such clauses in practical means.

Finally, regarding the time frame and cost, please note that it depends upon the complexity of your claim. Hence it depends upon case to case.

Please feel free to contact me if you need any further clarification on this point.

Regards,

Rajasree Ravivarma
