Q: Hello. I filed a labour case last year against my old employer; I'm still on their visa which expires next month. The amount I was claiming for was AED 190,000 which is 3 months salary along with another 3 months that I am entitled to for delay, plus flight ticket... etc. I won the judgment for AED 100,000 plus 9% interest on this amount (unclear from the date of filing the case - or the date of the judgment given). In any case, the amount is over AED 160,000 min today. I have also filed for execution and we have now also requested a travel ban - arresting them - freezing all bank assets... etc. I'm still waiting to get paid. We have informed the old employer and they stall by saying they will speak to their lawyer or they will contact me. Nothing of the sort will be done as they are just delaying and I don't know what they are playing at. When will I get the funds and how much longer will this take?

Q: The execution court executed the seizure of the company's assets and closure for public auction. But later found out that there was already similar execution from another case done by a company that has a payment dispute with my employer a year ago. My employer is a construction company with many disputes from Labour and Arbitration cases. The court responded that I will be part of the court order for seizure and public auction of the company. 1. What will I do next? 2. What are my options since the first execution order for seizure of assets was a year ago and until now the company is still in business? 3. How can they operate after 2 execution court orders for the seizure of company assets and public auction? 4. Can a company still be on business after serving a seizure order?

Q: The employer remained unresponsive after serving the court execution timeline. What are the options or measures that I can do at this point?

Q: I am here for some help with a labor appeal case in Dubai Courts. My employer failed to pay my final settlement and last month's wages, so I filed a lawsuit in a Dubai court. The court generated a judgment in my favor after hearing my case. I moved on with the execution, and the Dubai court sent me an email that read something like this: "The authorities must take the initiative to implement this bond and take action according to it, and they must help to implement it, even if it is forced when asked to do so. The judge's decision will be implemented within five working days." Yet for the following 15 days, nothing happened. Please help

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, After winning the case against my employer and registering an enforcement case, they have yet to pay me after 15 days. I received a message from the court regarding the seizure of funds and license. What does this mean, and what is the next step? When can I expect to receive my dues?

An interview-format article covering the topic of filing an employment court case in the UAE. This is from the legal podcast of lawyer Ludmila Yamalova, the founder of Lawgical with LYLAW.

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.

The provisions of this Decree-Law, known as "New UAE Labor Law", govern labour relations in the private sector of the United Arab Emirates. The New Labor Law repeals the previous UAE Labor Law (Federal Law No. (8) of 1980).

The provisions of this Law, known as "UAE Labour Law", govern the relationship between employers and employees and other labour matters in the United Arab Emirates. There are special labour related regulations applicable in some of the free zones in the UAE.

The law promulgates UAE Civil Procedures Code (Civil Procedure Law) which governs civil procedures in the United Arab Emirates, including the prosecution before the courts, litigation and execution.
