The employer refuses to implement the settlement. What to do?
Hi,
I had an issue with an employer so I had complained to MOHRE and we came to an agreement of settlement with MOHRE presence.
Now the employer is refusing to implement the settlement and I reactivated the complaint. As per MOHRE, they say that there was no such agreement but I have a recording of the conversation as proof.
Can I submit this as proof to the court?
Kindly advise!
Hi,
As per UAE law, if you are recording any call, you need to take the consent of the other party.
If the same has not been taken, you can be penalized as per the UAE penal code. Therefore, you may not have the option of using the recorded conversations as evidence.
Thanks!
Hello,
We are pleased to provide the requested service!
The worker can submit a complaint 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 for him and his family, compensation for unfair dismissal, and any other entitlements according to the contract).
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 actions that can be taken against the company to enforce 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 email us.
