An employer fires his employee without paying the pending dues. What to do?
Dear sir/madam,
My boss fired me after 8 months of working for the restaurant and did not pay my last salary for the month of July after he fired me.
He delayed the process of my employment visa untill I got a fine of 3500 AED plus the extra hours of work. He did not pay me for 8 months. I have complained already to the labor many times but my boss keeps promising and lying to the labor that he will pay me.
What should I do?
Do I need to hire a lawyer? I do not have money.
Thanks!
Dear questioner,
If your employer fires you, the last salary will be given to you when you sign the full and final settlement agreement.
Please do not sign the full and final settlement agreement if you did not receive all your dues.
The labor can help you to calculate the amount which the employer should pay you. Also, it is important to know the reason for the termination.
Did you do something really bad? Or is it regular termination for not functioning as per their requirements?
It is best to go to labor in person (make an appointment) and sit with the expert who is handling your case.
