Q: I started working in August 2017 with a company in Dubai. By the end of August, I received my first salary on time. Now, it is already the end of October and my employer still didn't pay my September salary. As per accounting, it is also not clear when we will receive October salary, maybe mid of November for September salary only. My contract is unlimited and I would like to know when I can report salary delay to the MoL. By 11.11.2017, will my contract be breached because of 2 unpaid salaries in a row, and can I resign and change to a new company without getting a labour ban? When can I stop working for my current company without notice due to unpaid salary and breach of contract?

Q: Hi Sir My company has filed a complaint against me in Police on the 5th of September but they stopped my duty on the 31st of May. They did not pay my salary from May to September. Can I file a labour case and will let me sit free in a room till the court decision? Please, advise if I can file a labour case.

Q: My company put me on unpaid leave without consent from me. They even want me to go home to my home country even though they owe me money for incomplete salary. There are months of no salary which I am trying to collect but they keep saying there are no funds. What should I do in this matter?

Q: Hello, I applied for a Dubai Courts fee deferment but they asked me to fill out a form. Can anyone tell me if I can get the form online or if anyone has it, can they share it? Thanks

An interview-format article covering the topic of employment in the UAE. This is from the legal podcast of lawyer Ludmila Yamalova, the founder of Lawgical with LYLAW. In this article, Ludmila informs readers what they should do and where they should go if they have not been paid by their employer.

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.
