Q: Good day,
I just wanna ask about the benefits that I can get for my vacation.
I just finished my 2 years' limited contract this month and they renewed my contract and gave me a vacation date from February to April.
I have a monthly salary of AED 3300 with an AED 2000 basic salary.
What are the benefits I can get upon the vacation period?
And is it lawful for them to give a 1-way ticket and I am the one to buy the ticket for the way back?
Thanks

Q: My contract is expiring and I informed my employer that I won't be continuing.
My contract is a Limited contract. The offer that I singed states that I am eligible for a ticket if I completed my 2 years.
Since I am not continuing, does it mean that I am not eligible for the ticket?
Aside from the gratuity, what else should I get from the company?

Employee's right to claim leave salary before completing one year of service
0
Q: My employee took a 1 month leave in the 7th month of the first year despite a clause in the contract that the first one year continuous leave cannot be taken.
So during that time, the employee had agreed that she does not want to get leave salary for that month.
However, after she resigned and the labour contract has been cancelled after a 2-year contract, she has presently included that 1st year leave salary in her pending dues.
Am I liable to give that?

View allSigning a non-compete clause upon termination of a labor contract 0
Dear sir/madam,
I had signed a labor contract with the Ministry of Labour which had no "non-compete" clause.
Now, I want to leave the company, but my employer wants me to sign the "non-compete" clause in the termination contract.
In this case, is the non-compete clause applicable or not?

Canceling my MoU and getting my deposit back due to a low bank valuation and overpriced property 0
Hi,
I wanted to purchase a 2-bedroom apartment in JVC Dubai. I gave a 10% security deposit cheque to the seller. The price mentioned in the MoU is very high compared to other similar apartments in the same building.
The bank’s valuation also came in very low. Since the valuation is much lower, how can I terminate the MoU and get my cheque back? The MoU ends on 1st October 2024.
One of the articles in the MoU states:
In the event that the Buyer fails to make the payments as agreed or fails to complete the transfer on the agreed date due to his own acts or omissions, the Seller has the right to terminate this agreement and retain the deposit, provided that the termination is due to a violation of the agreed terms, unless both parties agree amicably to different dates.
I need help urgently.
