Q: Good day Ma'am/Sir I need legal advice about my case. I want to ask what is the procedure for removing absconding. Thank you so much  

Q: Hello Team I have an absconding case on which I have already managed with my sponsor due to not leaving the country, however, they have requested to pay them a penalty to remove the case which I did but now I have overstay fines. So I went to them again after paying the fines for removing the absconding as they have advised me to proceed with removing the absconding case that I will have to clear my overstay fines first. So they gave me a copy of the NOC that there is no objection in removing the absconding from immigration and applying for a waiver. My question is, will my petition to discount waiver be accepted even though I do have an absconding case on me and will this NOC work or not? I also have several reasons for overstaying as there weren’t flights back then when Covid was at the high peak and I had my passport getting renewed which I also have a letter from the embassy stating that.

Q: How am I supposed to remove an absconding case from my employer since he asked for money to give me my passport back?

Q: Good day! I have a query on employee cancellation. An employee is canceled, i.e. both his labor card and employment visa. Can the employer ask the employee to leave the country even if he has a pending labor case against the employer and a 90 days grace period to leave the country after the visa is canceled? Let me be once again clear here, both visa and labor card have been canceled because the case is already in the execution stage, the Ministry of Labor closed the case and canceled his card, after which the visa was canceled. I want the employee (actually now ex-employee) to leave the country. If he is reluctant about the same, can I file an absconding against him? Please advise. Thanks

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I returned to my home country due to a family health emergency, with the consent of my employer after a prolonged debate. My Employment status is just two months old. I have been in continuous communication and have been asking to rejoin since October 8, 2023, but he says they do not need me and is ignoring my communication. My visa status is active. Can I return on my own ticket and work elsewhere until he finds out I am back? In the meantime, I can look for another job if he does not get ready. He is asking for a visa amount of 7200 to recall me, but without rejoining the company. Please suggest a way for me to return.

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I had a pending RDC case, which resulted in the rejection of my visa renewal/new visa application. I obtained an NOC from the court for visa application on November 21st. However, when my company processed my visa renewal, it showed a 45-day overstay. How can I exempt this overstay? I am getting a new job after 18 months.

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.
