Seeking visa cancellation and labor entitlements upon resignation

Hi.

I have an issue with my current employer and they are not paying my final settlement and EOS or allowances.

I followed the correct procedure for resignation, performed at a high level during my 2 years and 10 months and only now, after my final date (June 1st), have they come back to me stating they want to put my payment on hold.

Their reason is that they feel I have breached their confidentiality clause in their contract. I understand this is a separate matter to any final settlement due and thus I have raised a case with DMCC (they are a DMCC company).

How do I get them to send me my final settlement and cancel my visa so I can continue my working life in Dubai, or leave if I want to? I only have 30 days to transfer over to a new company and don't want to get into trouble.

Please help

Thanks

Dear Questioner,

Be informed that you have the right to claim the amount from your current employer.

Simply, you can register a complaint against them for claiming your remaining rights.

But do not tell me that you do not want to get into trouble, due to your new work.

If you will not fight for what you want, do not cry if you lose it.

If you have any further inquiries, please do not be hesitate to contact me on my email "ms@elnaggarlegal.com"

Thank you.

Thanks for the mail.

I was hoping for some more clarity on what I need to do to to cancel my visa and get my payment.

Thanks for your help.

Just do it in a friendly way with them as much as you can if you do not like to be in trouble.
