Case to claim the EOSB after resignation and before signing cancellation paper
Hi,
I need advice on my end-of-service benefits. I have been working with an employer in Abu Dhabi for the last 2 and a half years.
I recently resigned from my position and successfully completed my 2 month notice period on the 14th of August. Since then, the employer has not released my dues which were agreed on my last working day.
Actually, they are forcing me to sign the cancellation paper before clearing any dues which I have refused as the cancellation paper clearly states that "I certify that I have received all of my dues".
I have requested them multiple times over email and phone but still, they are giving invalid excuses and doing unnecessary delays.
Can you please guide me on how I can tackle this situation as I urgently need to return to my country?
I want to leave on happy terms without having any clashes at this stage.
Please advise.
Many thanks.
Dear Questioner,
In such a case, we always advise suing the company, since the company is imitating your movement and refusing to pay your dues.
Then you may register a complaint at the ministry of labour against the company.
There will be a mediation session at the beginning and if the company decided to deliver your payments, then you may drop your complaint at any time even before the court later on.
Otherwise, the company will keep using the only bullet they have against you, and you need to do something or else you will receive nothing.
Kindly contact me at my email for more information.
