Resignation and compensation upon misunderstanding regarding job description



4
Q: Hi,
I joined a DMCC company 1 month ago and there is a misunderstanding between me and my employer with respect to my job description which I clearly told them that I cannot do.
The company is asking me to resign and pay an amount of AED 15000 for my visa and medical flight charges, etc in spite of holding my salary. They are also asking me to submit my passport, otherwise, they will take legal action.
Should I compensate them if I wish to resign?
Kindly help me!

View allI received a judgment in my favor from RDC that awarded me legal fees. Does this include lawyer fees? 0
I have received a judgment in my favor from RDC that awarded me legal fees.
However, RDC says that legal fees do not mean lawyer fees; they are RDC fees only.
Is this correct?

The public prosecution appealed a judgment to increase the fine I already paid. What do I do now? 0
Good afternoon,
Thank you for your time.
The public prosecution appealed my judgment (a fine that I satisfactorily cleared) and requested increasing the fine.
Can you please explain what happens during a criminal case appeal hearing for me as a defendant?
Will I be asked questions?
Is the hearing just for the Public Prosecution to present their appeal to the judge, and I do not need to give a response?
Thank you again for your time.

The new employee will start on June 1, 2025. However, he would like to open a new bank account in the UAE thus asking to provide the salary certificate mentioning his salary in AED and if possible not mentioning the start date.

Do I need to hire a lawyer if I found I have a marital case against me in the court? 0
By checking in Al Adheed, I have found there is a marital matter case against me in Dubai Courts. There is a hearing date for next week and the time mentioned in the case status with a link for an online hearing.

Should I hire a lawyer or I can attend the hearing by myself?
