Q: Madam,
I worked for a company in Dubai for 23 years and have not been paid my end of service benefits and sales commission.
I came to India for treatment and I could not resume my duty soon since the treatment was lengthy, so the company has canceled my visa and hired someone in my place.
I have requested severely to pay the service benefits but the HR manager misbehaved and threatened in an unethical and unprofessional manner! what should I do?
I can file a case against the company for claiming my benefits? I am paralyzed and can not walk properly now and suffering a lot! Can you please help me?

Cancellation of visa after leaving the UAE on emergency
3
Q: Hi,
Greetings,
Ma'am, I am working for a free zone company as a sales executive. Due to my medical condition, I informed my company and had to come on an emergency to my country.
After leaving the country, I met the doctor and he said it will take more than 4 months to recover after physiotherapy sessions.
In the meantime, I called up my company and informed them about my medical condition and told them to cancel the visa, as I don't want to work anymore and instead I want to start a business in the UAE after my recovery.
The main concern now is the company does not want to cancel my visa and also harassing me. They will put on me some kind of legal case.
Please advise, how can I move forward. I want to cancel my visa and start my own business in the UAE.
Thanks and regards
