Claiming compensation for non-payment of salary for 5 months

3
Q: Actually, I resigned from work due to non-payment of salary for over 5 months with a proper notice period.
Now the company is not giving a proper answer when the complaint has been registered and instead they are just giving the same excuse as they need more time and will be able to give payments in 4-5 cheques which are not acceptable as I have to go back to my home country.
Actually, I would like to know if I refer the case to court, is it possible for me to claim more as compensation (along with salary, leave salary, EOS benefits) due to delay from the employer and giving false promises to each complaint registered?

Can my employer refuse to give me even one day off as a nanny in the UAE? 0
Hello,
I am a nanny of 1-and-a-half-year-old twins.
I asked my employer to have a day off, even once a month, but she didn’t allow me! I messaged her on WhatsApp, but she didn’t reply.
Last month, I talked to her husband to ask for a day off again. He told me that he would arrange it. Then I messaged him yesterday to have a day off on Monday, July 7, 2025, but he never saw my message.
What should I do?

Will my current pregnancy affect my insurance coverage or status since I am not officially married yet? 0
Good day!
I am currently covered under the [-------] plan with [-----]. My marital status is still listed as single, but I am getting married on August 5. Due to unexpected travel issues, our original wedding date in June had to be rescheduled.
I recently became pregnant and have already paid for my antenatal check-up package for the first trimester. After my wedding, I plan to submit my marriage certificate to update my status with the insurer.
I would like to kindly ask for advice: will my current pregnancy affect my insurance coverage or status since I am not officially married yet?
Could there be any risk of my insurance being canceled or any legal implications because of this timing?
I appreciate your guidance and any clarification you can provide.
Thank you very much for your support.

When can I expect the court of execution to pay my labor dues after winning the case for training cost? 0
I recently won my case at MOHRE regarding the AED 6,000 training cost, which the company was not entitled to.
I have now filed an execution request at Al Adheed on July 4, 2025, to claim my pending salary and visa cancellation, which were not provided within the legal 14-day period.
As I do not have an Emirates ID yet, the report was submitted using my passport. I was informed I would receive a court fee payment link if the process pushes through.
May I kindly ask:
Will the execution proceed using my passport?
How long does this process usually take?
What should I expect next?
Thank you for your assistance.
