Q: Dear Madam, I have an unlimited contract with the employer and I have not completed the 6-month probation period. The company gave me a termination letter without any warning letter before. 1. If I get a job in some other company, will I get a labour ban or not? Some people told me even if you have an unlimited contract, but your company terminated you under probation period. I must have completed 1 year to avoid the ban. Please advise me, what do I do? 2. The company gave me termination letter one day before my completion of the 6-month probation period. My question is that I joined the company on 27 August 2017 and the company gave me the termination letter on 26 February 2018, but if I count the days then it is 184 days, while 6 month means 180 days. Please advise? 3. If 184 days are considered 6 months what are my rights? Can I demand the company to pay my settlement, air tickets and half year leave salary... etc? The HR told me that under probation, the company do not pay me any benefits like back home tickets, gratuity...etc.

Q: Hello Sir. I am Dr Parag Pitti, a General Dentist. The clinic where I was working before, terminated me in my probation period without giving me any notice and then asked me for my passport for visa cancellation. Since it was my probation, I accepted the termination but asked for salary for the days I worked with them. They said they will give me the final settlement and asked me to give my passport for visa cancellation. Now, they have cancelled the visa but I haven’t received the salary. What should I do?

Q: If I am on the probationary period and resigned, then I conducted one month notice, is my employer entitled to deduct the visa cost from the salary that I will have during the one month notice?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I have a labour case in Abu Dhabi Courts in regard to pending salary and gratuity. The Abu Dhabi FIC court has issued a judgment in favour of me but the company (Employer) didn't yet pay me. Now the case in Abu Dhabi enforcement court for execution. The first hearing/trial was on 23 March 2020, and the court personnel told me that my case is transferred to the group case and no need to come again, the court will inform me when the employer will deposit money in the court. My visa already expired on 22 October 2019, and Abu Dhabi enforcement court gave me a letter of special permission (A temporary stay order) until 23rd March 2020 and told me to search for a job. Please, help me. How can I stay legally in the UAE so that I am able to join another company and start earning a living? Thank you

An interview-format article covering the topic of filing an employment court case in the UAE. This is from the legal podcast of lawyer Ludmila Yamalova, the founder of Lawgical with LYLAW.

The UAE has adopted a major reform in its legislative system that brought about 40 new laws and amendments to the company law, criminal law, personal status, among others. The amendments aim to develop the legislative structure in various sectors, the labor law being one of these, was the most recent. We try in this article to shed light on the changes introduced with the new labor law and their significance on both, the employer and employee.

The provisions of this Law, known as "UAE Labour Law", govern the relationship between employers and employees and other labour matters in the United Arab Emirates. There are special labour related regulations applicable in some of the free zones in the UAE.

This Decree sets the rules and conditions for the termination of fixed-term (limited) or unlimited (not term-bound) employment contract between employer and worker in the United Arab Emirates.

The provisions of this Decree-Law, known as "New UAE Labor Law", govern labour relations in the private sector of the United Arab Emirates. The New Labor Law repeals the previous UAE Labor Law (Federal Law No. (8) of 1980).
