How can I claim my end of service settlements before the lapse of one year?

My previous employer, an LLC Dubai Company, is yet to complete the end-of-service settlement. The last 25% remains to be paid to me.

As per the labor law of the UAE, I have one year before I can raise a complaint. This one-year period will expire in 10 days.

Can I get my previous employer to sign a promissory note or loan agreement with me so my rights are protected or do I lodge a formal complaint with the MOL/MOHRE?

Dear Mr Mohammed, thanks very much for your support and time. I will have a talk with the previous employer to establish intent failing which I will need to pursue legal action.

It is preferable to file a lawsuit to collect the last payment.

Hi S.

Please file a complaint in MOHRE and let it happen as per the law.

If this year lapses and you don't get your payment, you won't be able to file any complaint for the same.

If you need any other help you can write to us by email.

Thanks

It's better to open a case in court to save your payment.

Dear Mr. Mohamed,

I stand in agreement and will approach the MOHRE.
