Q: Hello sir, My salary has been delayed for three months now. We are in June and since March, I haven't got my salary. On the other side, I have a loan for which an installment is due since last month. Hence, I tried to get a new job which I finally got. Based on that, I have given resignation with one month notice period as my contract is unlimited. My employer doesn't seem to be in a position to settle my end of service for 3 years, 2 months vacation salary, and 4-month salary including June; around 60000 to be paid. Please advise how to get this money and start working with the next opportunity? Thanks!

Q: Dear sir/madam, I made a complaint to MOHRE against my previous company, but now we have already fixed it with my employer. I want to cancel the complaint for the cancellation of my visa. My employer cannot cancel it because there is still a complaint in the system of MOHRE.

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I have completed my notice period, and my new employer is asking me to provide the MOL cancellation contract from my current employer. However, my current employer is stating that they will only provide it after 14 days from my last working day. I am afraid of losing my new job as the new employer requires me to join as soon as possible. The cancellation process can take up to a month, and this may delay my joining date. What should I do in this situation?

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 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.

This Decree sets the rules and conditions for the termination of fixed-term (limited) or unlimited (not term-bound) employment contract between employer and worker in the United Arab Emirates.

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).
