Questions & Answers
How can I claim unpaid salary and unused leave days held by employer after resignation?
I joined an organization on 22nd March and decided to resign on 14 July with the intention to stay in the country and apply for another job.
Based on the UAE labor law, I gave a notice period of one month. However, I was asked to work for 14 days from 14 July which means my last day will be 27th July.
They are not ready to pay me for the rest of my notice period which I am happy to work through. I also accrued 8 days of annual leave during this period, as I haven't utilized it.
Do I get annual leave encashment?
What options do I have if they disagree?
Dear Client,
Thanks for your question, I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you with this matter.
Under the UAE labor law, if you provided a one-month notice and your employer asks you to work only 14 days, they should compensate you for the remaining notice period.
You are entitled to annual leave encashment for the 8 days accrued. Discuss with HR or management first. If the issue persists, file a complaint with MOHRE.
