Q: I wish to get a remote work visa, explained here. Is this enough to change my current permanent place of living when it comes to paying taxes? Since every person is obligated to pay taxes in the country where he lives or stays for more than 183 days. I wish to receive my salary from my EU companies to a personal bank account in the UAE. Are there any taxes in the UAE for me when it comes to salary, and will I get taxed for the capital income my company in the EU makes? Finally, from what I understood, there is no need to get any freelancer permits or anything else with this visa type and this type of income (paying salary to myself from my own EU company). Is that correct?

Q: Hi I need to ask for a solution to my problem where I was appointed by the managing director and partner of the company. I worked for 1 year in a company with their visa, after that they transferred me to another saying it's our company as the manager and partner of this company was also the same as my original company. I worked there for another year but the salaries became irregular after a few months. My salary from the beginning was paid by the same manager and partner along with the other company expenses. I don't know what was agreed between the 2 partners and the sponsor. When my salaries stopped for 5 months I stopped going to office as the manager was not responding. I consulted the other partner and sponsor that I have not been paid and I will complain in MOL. But they stopped from doing so and tried to settle with me by paying only 20% of my final settlement which I didn't accept. I have proofs of all the communications that I worked for both the companies. Now, my manger is not showing and partners disagree. Advise.

Q: I am working at a clinic since March 2018 and got a limited-period contract 3 Jul 2018 to 2 Jul 2020, and a probation period of 6 months until 2nd Jan 2019. Because of the employer torture, I want to leave the job without intimating. They were asking me to pay the visa charges also. What will be the effect on me and do I have to pay the visa charges or not?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, Many agents are forced to accept commission-only jobs, and then find themselves working full-time for zero pay in a very competitive market. For example, let's say you work full-time for six months and fail to make a sale. The law requires the company to cover basic living costs. In such a case, what should the employee and employer do?

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.
