Q: Hello, I am working for a company in Al Hamriyah Freezone for the last 7 years. I have a pending 13-month salary, gratuity, and leave salary. My contract is going to expire within 4 months. And I have an offer to join another company within 1 month. The current company is saying excuses that they will not be able to pay that much amount. Also, I would like to join another company. How could I recover the pending dues from the company even after canceling the visa?

Q: I want to know about the labor ban. Previously, I was working with a private company with a Sharjah visa for 2 years. Now I have joined a new private company with a Dubai visa. I'm on 6 month probation period which is going to end after a week. As I don't feel comfortable working in the current company and I have better offers from other companies, I would like to know If I resign will I get a labor ban? I am still in the probation period. I don't have a graduation certificate attested and my current visa is unlimited. Thank you!

Q: Hi Miss Rajasree, I am Electrical Engineer, MBA - Canada, and have dual nationality. Pakistani and Canadian. I am working with a company in Dubai. I worked with this company for the last four years and had two times 02-year residence visas issued from this company now again just a few days back this company stamped my residence visa for the next two years. Based on the insulting working environment at this company. My question is can I leave this company immediately or not, or is there any time frame I can leave this company? Will there be any ban if I leave this company now and start looking for a new job or found a new job or if this company fires me now? Will there be any ban on me before I get another job? I will wait for your kind advice in this regard. I appreciate it.

Q: Dear sir/madam, My employee has resigned from a limited contract and not serving the notice period. Your reply is very contradictory to my question as compared to your reply to someone else. Thanks for contacting me online. If an employee terminates the limited contract before the expiry date, he is not eligible for any benefits like gratuity, leave salary, and ticket. Instead, the employee has to pay 45 days' salary as compensation to the employer if the employer makes a claim for it.

Q: I started working on February 2021 under an unlimited contract in Dubai, UAE, and I'm resigning in 2023. Am I entitled to 21 days of gratuity as per the new end-of-service law? Does the new law supersede the old law? Where can I find the legal proof and official information that the new law supersedes the old law?

Q: Hello Mr. Abdul I'm looking for some advice on my situation with tenancy renewal. My apartment is in JVC. My current contract (40K) is with a real estate company and it is expiring on 31 Aug'23. I received a notification from the real estate company in May'23 about a renewal notice with a new cost (44k). I confirmed the renewal by email and they accepted it. Later in Jun'23, I got a notice saying that the flat is sold to an individual and I have to deal with him now. I tried contacting both the new owner and real estate company for the renewal confirmation and even after multiple follow-ups, there is no confirmation received on my renewal. I'm worried that the new owner comes back to me asking to leave because the contract is expired on 31st Aug or he comes back and say the new rent is not 44K and it is more or something. Please help me with what should I do in this situation and highly appreciate your advice.

The UAE has adopted a major reform in its legislative system that brought about 40 new laws and amendments to the company law, criminal law, personal status, among others. The amendments aim to develop the legislative structure in various sectors, the labor law being one of these, was the most recent. We try in this article to shed light on the changes introduced with the new labor law and their significance on both, the employer and employee.

The provisions of this Decree-Law, known as "New UAE Labor Law", govern labour relations in the private sector of the United Arab Emirates. The New Labor Law repeals the previous UAE Labor Law (Federal Law No. (8) of 1980).

The provisions of this Law, known as "UAE Labour Law", govern the relationship between employers and employees and other labour matters in the United Arab Emirates. There are special labour related regulations applicable in some of the free zones in the UAE.

This Decree sets the rules and conditions for the termination of fixed-term (limited) or unlimited (not term-bound) employment contract between employer and worker in the United Arab Emirates.
