Q: Hi there, I have a labor case that has been ruled in my favor. I filed an execution case & the employer paid the outstanding balance to the court. I requested disbursement and this has been accepted. I have given the court my IBAN & account info. How long does disbursement take? Thanks

Q: Hello. I filed a labour case last year against my old employer; I'm still on their visa which expires next month. The amount I was claiming for was AED 190,000 which is 3 months salary along with another 3 months that I am entitled to for delay, plus flight ticket... etc. I won the judgment for AED 100,000 plus 9% interest on this amount (unclear from the date of filing the case - or the date of the judgment given). In any case, the amount is over AED 160,000 min today. I have also filed for execution and we have now also requested a travel ban - arresting them - freezing all bank assets... etc. I'm still waiting to get paid. We have informed the old employer and they stall by saying they will speak to their lawyer or they will contact me. Nothing of the sort will be done as they are just delaying and I don't know what they are playing at. When will I get the funds and how much longer will this take?

Q: Dear sir/madam, I am an employee of a mainland private company. I got a verdict in my favor that the company should pay me AED 145,532 and after 2 days, one month will be passed after the verdict was issued. I want to file for execution. Please confirm what the court fees will be if the amount is AED 145,532. And can I request the court to take these fees once I get the payment?

Q: What else to do to receive my gratuity claims? I already have the judgment and executory order for the filed case against my previous company for almost a year now. As per the court update, no funds have been deposited for my claims until now.

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 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.

The law promulgates UAE Civil Procedures Code (Civil Procedure Law) which governs civil procedures in the United Arab Emirates, including the prosecution before the courts, litigation and execution.
