Q: Hi there,
I would really appreciate it if somebody can give legal advice. I am still on the probationary period, one month to be exact and the entry visa will expire on Oct 28.
My employer did not process it yet, and we haven't done with the medical and no Emirates ID yet.
I'm planning to resign from this company and return to my home country because I'm not comfortable and we always have a delayed salary and too much deduction.
The question is, can I resign without paying any compensation to our employer or to the company?
Thanks,
I.

هل هناك تبعات على إجراء عقد عمل صوري مع شركة قائمة بدون استلام راتب؟ 1
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته،
السادة الأعزاء المحترمين،
في القانون الإماراتي وعلى الأراضي الإماراتية ما حكم العقد الصوري في هذه الحالة: مقيم عاطل عن العمل أعزب يبرم عقد صوري بمسمى وظيفي مزيف وراتب مرتفع جداً لكي يتمكن من كفالة أهله من الدرجة الأولى والثانية؟
هل يمكن غض الطرف عن هذه الفعلة؟
أم هل ستتم محاسبة هذا الشخص بسبب انتقاله المفاجئ من البطالة إلى الراتب المرتفع؟
وما النتائج المترتبة على اكتشاف العقد الصوري؟
هل سيتم إلغاء كفالة الأهل؟ هل سيتم تغريمهم؟ ترحيلهم؟
وماذا عن الشخص نفسه هل يمكن زجه في السجن؟ لا قدر الله
أرجو الحصول على إجابة واضحة وشافية وشكراً لكم جزيل الشكر.

How to get my passport released if the employer holds it and asks for money? 0
Submitted a resignation letter to my employer, but he rejected claiming for AED 10,000 before he cancels my visa and gives me my passport (he is holding my passport).
10 months of working with him (already completed my 3 months probation).
There's also a breach of the contract:
1. Working not on the agreed hours (No overtime compensation paid).
2. Salary delay every month.
Any advice to take him on through the appropriate quarters to get my visa canceled and get back my passport?
He is claiming 10,000 before he gives me my passport and cancels my visa.

إمكانية المطالبة بالمستحقات العمالية بناءً على الراتب الفعلي وليس المكتوب في العقد 1
السلام عليكم،
أعمل في شركة في العين مند ثلاث سنوات ونصف "منها سنة وعشرة أشهر إقامة تابعة للشركة" وما تبقى كنت أعمل بالإعارة من شركة أخرى. راتبي في عقد العمل 500 درهم ولكن راتبي الفعلي 2500 درهم.
هل يحق لي المطالبة قانونًا على حسب الراتب الفعلي؟
وهل فترة العمل بالإعارة تدخل ضمن أيام المستحقات؟
علمًا بأنني أستلم راتبي بشكل مباشر بإيصال قبض من الشركة، وراتب العقد (500) أستلمه بنكيًا أو عبر فروع الأنصاري.

Mold in apartment due to construction fault: Can I get compensation? 1
Hi everyone,
I rent an apartment. After two days in the apartment, water started leaking from the ceiling.
It turned out to be a fault in the building's construction, which caused condensation in the false ceilings. When the panels were demolished, it was found that they were all full of mold.
The building manager has started work, but the apartment is no longer habitable.
Should the landlord compensate me for the lack of peaceful enjoyment of the property?

Unfairly fired with demands to repay housing allowance: Is it legal? 1
Dear Sir/Madam,
My employer (Federal) signed a 3-year contract with me. They have now given me 3 months' notice, ending my contract in May rather than August, saying that my contract was not renewed.
There was no reason given for my non-renewal. My evaluations have been consistently excellent. Further, they are now demanding 3 months of housing allowance be repaid. Is this legal?
