Can the employee pay the labor judgment amount before the execution process?

Hi Sir,

I request your advice on the below topic.

I have a civil case judgment against me to pay an amount to my company. I can pay back the amount as per the judgment.

But my question is whether I need to wait until my employer files execution on the judgment or I can pay the amount before that.

Please advise.

I have a job offer in my hand so I need to finish this and join after visa cancellation. I am from Abu Dhabi.

Hello,

As you have a case where you have lost, so it is better to pay the employer a one-time settlement before they file the execution and take the new job offer.

Please call or e-mail us.

Thank you for the immediate response.

Normally, people are saying it's better to pay the amount in court than pay it to the company.

When I checked with the Injaz office they said I need to wait until the employer filed execution.

I doubt that advice and that's why checking with you.

Yes,

It is better to submit it in court.

However, you can make a settlement agreement, mentioning the one time payment and that they will not file the execution and mentioning all the required clauses.

However, if they still file the execution, you can deposit the settlement agreement. It is better to do it through a lawyer or else you can notarize or witness the agreement.
