An employer breaches his obligations with an employee. What to do?

Hello,

I am 24 years old girl. I am an interior designer. It's almost four months since I came to work in Dubai. I have two months of salary arrears and when I inquired about it, the Indian owner scolded me threateningly and told me not to bother him again.

Then he told me not to come to work until his wife calls me again. Even after two weeks, I was not told to come back to the company, and when I asked about it, the owner repeatedly asked me not to ask.

I came to this company because this owner gave this offer when I was in my country. One of my friends introduced me to this company owner, but now after I came here, this owner is treating me badly. Can I know how to handle this, because if I got fired from this company, it is not good for my future career path.

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 write to us.

Good afternoon,

I have submitted a complaint against my company because of the salary areas. Also, I want to resign from this company because we have been mentally broken by this company.

May I know whether I can resign because I have only been working in this company for 4 months?

I want to work for another company.

Thank you!
