The consequences of leaving a job due to salary non-payment
Greetings,
I am a civil engineer. I got my first visa stamp in Dubai in April 2022 and my visa expires on April 2024. My employer is not paying me a salary for the past 5 months of my Joining.
I want to quit my job and find a new one. As it is my first engineer visa stamping, will there be any ban imposed on me?
I did not raise any complaint to the labor court. Should I raise a complaint?
Please help me out!
Dear questioner,
As your employer is not paying your salary and you seem to be in the probation period, you can resign by serving the notice period as per the UAE Labor law.
You can file a case against your employer with MOHRE for nonpayment of salary.
Kindly contact us via phone or email.
Hi questioner,
As per the law, your employer is obligated to make the payment of the wages on time under your employment contract.
However, since he has not paid you for the last 5 months, you need to file a labor complaint first and also need to inform MOHRE that you need to resign due to non-payment of salary and there won't be any ban on you.
