How to claim the labor dues from a business after working with them online?
Hi there,
I used to work online for a business that operates out of Dubai. I have a large sum of unpaid wages owed to me by my former employer. I can see online that they continue to operate and receive clients.
They have also put on other employees who continue to work in the business. I have made several attempts to recover my unpaid wages yet have not been successful in doing so.
Finally, I am looking to take formal proceedings against my former employer.
As I do not live in Dubai, what grounds can I be covered on, If any at all?
Hello,
With reference to your inquiry, could you share us the former labor contract as you can not oblige the employer to pay some of your rights after one year from the date of accrual as per article 6/3 of the labor law which states that;
"In all cases, no claim for any of the rights provided for in this law shall be heard if brought to court after the lapse of one year from the date of accrual, nor shall any claim be admitted if the procedures stated in this article are not complied with".
You can share it via WhatsApp or our email.
