The liability of a partner for the labor dues of an employee

I’m a 50% shareholder and director in an FZ-LLC company in Dubai Development Authority. One of our employees made an unpaid salary case against us and won it in court. We have appealed the decision.

My partner, the owner of the remaining 50% and a local has his name as the general manager of the company on the license. Since our company is not in a financial position to pay these dues, I want to understand what my maximum liability will be.

A quick reading online shows that the court can place travel bans on the general manager and hold him personally liable. Does the liability extend to me as well?

Are there any other liabilities?
