The ex-employer and manager are not paying the labor dues. What to do?

Dear sir/madam,

My ex-employer and manager are not paying thousands of dirhams owed to me and have threatened and harassed me on different occasions.

I worked on a commission basis in real estate with a company. Is there any law to protect us and get us the due money?

Good morning,

You can file a complaint to claim your entitlements to the Ministry of Labor over the phone or on the website.

All entitlements must be accounted for (overdue salaries, vacations, end-of-service benefits, airline tickets back home, compensation for unfair dismissal, and any other entitlements according to the contract such as commissions and others).

The matter is presented for settlement before the employee of the ministry, and if the solution is not resolved, the file is referred to the court, and a session is set for its consideration before the judge.

After the ruling, an implementation file is opened to collect the amount.

There are many measures that can be taken against the company to implement the judgment; seizure of bank accounts and company cars, banning the manager from traveling, and other procedures.

In the event that the file is referred to the court and you need an expert lawyer in these cases, you can contact us via email.
