Can post-dated cheques be revoked?

Q: My husband is selling icecreams in a cafe in Dubai. He has started a business from this. He needed a visa and the owner gave him a visa but we paid for it. The owner wrote a contract by email but we haven't signed it. We have given 3 cheques for the next year and are paying quarterly. Unfortunately, the business/icecreams are not selling at all and we want to get out of the contract. I would like to know what hope do we have to get out of the contract as we haven't signed it but he has the year cheques on him. Hope to hear from you soon.

How can we claim our money back if the cheque we received have bounced for insufficient funds?

We received a cheque which has now bounced. We have tried for over a month and a half now to get a new cheque from the person, and every day he says the next day. We need the money now. We have been to the police station, and they said they can not do anything as the reason the cheque bounced is "Insufficient funds." We have been to Al Barsha - Dubai Courts, and they said there is nothing they can do about it. We are not sure what we can do. We need the money asap to pay our kids' school fees, let alone all the interest we have lost.

After working with them for 1 month, I experienced a salary delay, and I had to go to the office to ask why there was a delay in my salary. That is when the HR told me she deducted my whole salary to recover the transfer fee. Now my question is, who is supposed to pay for the transfer fee, the employee or the employer?
