Transferring an employee from a DMCC to an LLC company owned by the same owner
2
Q: I am under DMCC. My visa has already expired on Nov., 8. My company told me that they will transfer me to an LLC (same owner). I emailed them reminding them that aside from my gratuity, I also have a pending ticket allowance.
They replied to me and sent a letter that from DMCC, I will be transferred to an LLC due to the expiry date. My employment will be continued with no changes to my end of service entitlement and annual leave.
Is this letter valid? Will this letter be enough proof and assurance that at the end of my service I will get the dues from my last company (DMCC)?

Can you carry your EOSB if your company moved to free zone under a different name?


2
Q: Hi
I am currently working in an LLC company since 2019.
Recently, the company moved to a free zone with a different name and asked me to sign a letter of agreement to transfer my contract to the new company.
This means that my end of service will be carried forward and paid along with whatever amount in the free zone company. Is this possible legally?
Please, I need your advice urgently.
The mother company and the current company are owned by the same owner.

Can I be convicted of driving under the influence even if the alcohol test came back negative? 0
Hello,
I was driving my car when the police stopped me at one point on the road and told me that I was driving under the influence of alcohol.
I tried hard to deny that because I had not actually consumed any alcoholic beverages that day or in the previous three days.
However, a report was filed and a case was opened, but the alcohol test report came back negative. Will I be convicted despite that?
Please answer me. It is urgent.

Can we legally claim unpaid dues for food supplies based on emails and invoices? 0
Hello,
We have an agreement with a company to supply food for their buffet on a daily basis, with invoices to be issued monthly and payment to be made every three months.
The relationship actually lasted for nine months, and payment was made for two periods. In the third period, due to disagreements between our company and the company to which the supply was made, they refused to pay, noting that the outstanding amount so far is fifty-four thousand dirhams.
Can we claim the amount, noting that the agreement is not written, but there are emails exchanged between us and invoices?
