How to claim your labor dues after getting a judgment in your favor

Hi,

I filed a case against my company for not paying my settlement dues in spite of waiting for 5 months after my termination.

The labor court has decided in its judgment on a claim amount of DHS 20000 as my settlement dues.

The company did not bother to either receive any call from MOHRE and subsequently did not attend the remote hearing in the courts as well.

Now, my question is that if the claim amount is 20,000 Dhs as decided by the court, what is the procedure to notify the company about this judgment?

Will the court notify the company of its judgment or is there any other process to be followed by me to do the same?

Secondly, as I understand, the company cannot appeal the judgment if the claim amount is below 20,000 Dhs.

In such a scenario, if there's no appeal, what's the timeframe within which the company adheres to this ruling by the court to pay off the dues?

And can they explore the option of paying the dues in installments to delay further?

Welcome,

The court is the one that notifies the company.

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.

This includes the seizure of bank accounts and company cars, banning the manager from traveling, and other procedures.

If there is a judgment to give you AED 20000 from your employer, you can file for the execution of the same judgment.
