2
Q: I am under DMCC. My visa has already expired on Nov., 8. My company told me that they will transfer me to an LLC (same owner). I emailed them reminding them that aside from my gratuity, I also have a pending ticket allowance.
They replied to me and sent a letter that from DMCC, I will be transferred to an LLC due to the expiry date. My employment will be continued with no changes to my end of service entitlement and annual leave.
Is this letter valid? Will this letter be enough proof and assurance that at the end of my service I will get the dues from my last company (DMCC)?

Accepting a new job offer if the current employer failed to issue visa
2
Q: Hi Sir.
I would like to ask about my current situation, I am currently employed in a company, I signed a job offer last September 2019, until today I still don't have an employment visa.
But they are giving me the correct salary. When my tourist visa expires last November, they paid for my exit and for my new tourist visa, same also what happened in February, they paid for my exit and new tourist visa.
Now my tourist visa is expiring on May 3rd, 2020 and I have a new job offer from another company. Can I transfer immediately?

The employer is not issuing a visa after three months

2
Q: Dear sir/madam,
Currently, I am on my husband's visa and working for an immigration company. My employer gave me a job offer letter and said that they will provide me with a visa within 3 months.
I have already completed my probation period and asked my employer to process my visa. After reminding him on alternate weeks, he still did not take any action.
The visa I am on is from my husband's previous company and his recent company is not providing one for me now.
In this case, what should I do?

What can my wife do if the company marked her as single and denied her maternity coverage? 0
Hello,
My wife's company renewed their insurance and registered my wife as single, so the maternity benefits are not covered, even though we were already married before she joined the company.
She is now 35 weeks pregnant. What should we do?

A hair salon caused serious damage to my hair and scalp. What can I do to sue them? 0
I’m looking for legal advice regarding a hair salon incident that caused serious damage to my hair and scalp.
I visited a salon for a colouring treatment, during which two rounds of bleach, which is not what I booked in for, were given to me without proper approvals, and were applied back-to-back without a strand test or proper consultation.
As a result, I’ve been experiencing extreme hair breakage, daily hair loss, and ongoing scalp irritation. This has been especially distressing as I’m currently pregnant.
It’s now been over 20 days since the incident, and despite multiple polite follow-ups, the salon has ignored all communication.
I’m now exploring legal action to pursue compensation for the physical and emotional distress caused. I have full documentation, messages, and photos.
Any guidance on the best next steps or legal routes I can take would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

What can I do if the landlord has not been responding to renew the commercial lease contract and Ejari? 0
Good day.
For the last 3 years, the landlord's office has not responded to renew the contract, so I contacted RERA for renewal.
The office doesn't respond to emails related to renewal, even though I started sending emails and reminders 2 to 3 months before expiry, and I have no choice but to contact RERA and send a notice.
Once the renewal was processed by law, the landlord's office delayed in releasing the Ejari. Since it is a commercial property, my renewals are related to a staff visa, and I have to pay delay penalties.
The landlord's office staff tried to take advantage of the Emirati owner, and no direct meeting was fruitful.
What is the law that safeguards expats and sorts out issues without mutual compromise as they try to force their terms to be acceptable by law and not supported by any documentation?

My wife got her maternity leave after she gave birth prematurely. Can her company pay her only half a salary? 0
My wife was pregnant and gave birth in the first week of her seventh month.
The company she works for refused to give her leave when she requested it before giving birth, claiming that work required it and that she was still in her sixth month.
Now the company she works for is refusing to pay her full salary and is offering to pay only half her salary.
Do they have the right to do this?
What are my wife's rights with the company she works for, and how can we demand them?

Is accrued annual leave paid if the employee is terminated during probation? 0
Hello,
I want to confirm: if an employee is terminated during the probation period, does the employer have to pay them their accrued annual leave, even if it's during the probation period?
Or is the employee only eligible for leave payment after the probation period?
Thanks!

Is it normal that the title deed issued by Sharjah is “Joint Property Ownership” whereas I’m the only owner of the flat?
Is it related to the shared building itself, or what? And what are the consequences of that compared with normal property ownership?
