Filing a labour case within the limitation period of one year

Hello Hari,

I was working for a free zone company in JLT Dubai, UAE and I resigned from the company around 12th Nov 2017.

Although I had a pending salary of 5 months, my ex-company assured me that they will pay my pending salary in instalments verbally and sent me a mail stating my pending amount.

So can I still file a case against my ex-company?

Dear Sir/ Madam,

Thank you for getting in touch with me on this.

An employee can file a labour case within one year of his entitlements. Since you resigned on 12th November 2017, you have to file a labour case on or before 11th November 2018.

I request you to immediately take action and file a case before your right to file the case is barred.

You may get in touch with me on 052-9495731 or email on hari@alnassaradvocates.com for further discussion and roadmap to file the labour case.

Regards,

Hari Wadhwana

Hello Hari,

Thanks for your quick and needy response.

I want to clarify one more thing. While cancelling my visa with the above company, I had to sign a paper in DMCC that stated ‘All my dues are paid’.

So will it create any problem in filing case?

Hello Sir/ Madam,

No, that will not create any hindrance whatsoever.

You can still raise a claim and the company has to prove they have made the payment (via bank transfer or WPS), which obviously the company cannot prove.

Your claim stands well.
