Sharjah, UAE

Claiming unpaid salaries without having a work visa

I am Venkatesh.

I am working in one interior company in Sharjah. Nearly 2 months completed, but till now they didn't pay my salary.

I asked my company manager, owner and my agent, but no response. My agent told me tomorrow at 4 to have an appointment, then I tell you.

I have a tourist visa only, so give me a suggestion.

Have you signed an offer letter or MOHRE contract?

If you have not signed any such document, then you are considered to be working illegally under the laws of the UAE.

It is important to understand the nature of the documents you have signed before further advice can be provided.
