2
Q: Good evening Mr. Shoaib,
I have a question regarding the annual leave calculation.
If you have, for example, worked for 2 years at a company in the UAE, are you entitled to 30 days for each year of service?
Or is the first year calculated at 2 days per month (24 days) and the second year calculated at 30 days per year?
This is a point of discussion where I am working right now.

Calculation of unused annual leave upon termination
7
Q: The employee was being terminated due to the non-availability of projects (Project-based) but under unlimited contract.
He has 32 days as an unused leave. Article 5 of the Labour Law mentioned that accrued annual leave shall be paid on the basic wage, while Article 79 mentioned that it shall be paid on the wage basis.
Please give clarification on this to avoid disputes. Shall we pay him basic only or plus allowance?
Thank you for answering!

Dear sir/madam,
I had signed a labor contract with the Ministry of Labour which had no "non-compete" clause.
Now, I want to leave the company, but my employer wants me to sign the "non-compete" clause in the termination contract.
In this case, is the non-compete clause applicable or not?

Canceling my MoU and getting my deposit back due to a low bank valuation and overpriced property 0
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.
