Q: What shall I do with noisy children in a neighboring flat in Sharjah?
Aggressive behavior and verbal abuse from the parents when I stop children from making noise. They complained to Police and the Police warned me not to stop children from playing in front of my flat.
I can`t explain the noise which is loud. All the other flats have children, so they are all supporters of the main problem group. This is one of the findings from the Police; no one is supporting me. The Police say that there is no rule here to stop noisy children. What shall I do?

Protecting doctors from being recorded by patients' relatives without permission




1
Q: Good morning,
I'm a doctor working in a clinic in Dubai. Lately, I've been facing the same issue with patients and their relatives.
They take out a camera (relatives) and start recording videos of me when I'm checking or explaining to the patient, or sometimes they call someone and keep the line open (not even on speaker) so the relative can listen to what I explain to the patient.
In those moments, when I realize what they're doing, I immediately stop them and ask them to delete/remove it, etc.
Some patients act offended even when I tell them they shouldn't do this, they can't.
Is there any law that protects doctors, or in this case, myself from these kinds of actions?
Thanks!

How can we claim our money back if the cheque we received have bounced for insufficient funds? 0
We received a cheque which has now bounced. We have tried for over a month and a half now to get a new cheque from the person, and every day he says the next day.
We need the money now. We have been to the police station, and they said they can not do anything as the reason the cheque bounced is "Insufficient funds."
We have been to Al Barsha - Dubai Courts, and they said there is nothing they can do about it.
We are not sure what we can do. We need the money asap to pay our kids' school fees, let alone all the interest we have lost.

Who is supposed to pay for the transfer fee, the employee or the employer? 0
Hello
I joined my new company on February 26, 2025. Upon joining the new company, I asked HR if it was free to join the company, and she said yes.
After working with them for 1 month, I experienced a salary delay, and I had to go to the office to ask why there was a delay in my salary.
That is when the HR told me she deducted my whole salary to recover the transfer fee.
Now my question is, who is supposed to pay for the transfer fee, the employee or the employer?

After 11 months of work, how many leave days is an employee entitled to? 0
Hello,
I want to inquire regarding my leave privileges. I am now 11 months in my company. How many leaves am I privileged to?
Based on Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 regulating labour relations and its executive regulations, you are entitled to a paid weekly rest for not less than one day, as specified in the work contract or the work regulation.
The Council of Ministers may increase the weekly rest day stipulated in this article. The Decree-Law and its executive regulations also stipulate that you are entitled to an annual leave with full pay as follows:
- Thirty days for each year of your extended service.
- Two days per month in respect of any employee with more than six months and less than one year of service.
- Leave for parts of the last year of your service in case it is terminated before you use your annual leave balance.
Now my question is: do I have 22 days I can use? Can someone explain to me in detail?
Thank you!

Can't get an NOC from my old employer. How should I proceed with the new visa? 0
Hello,
My former employer put me on abscond, and I applied for amnesty. I obtained an outpass. However, due to unavoidable circumstances, I didn't travel.
Now I got a job, and my new company is trying to process a visa. Even after paying fines and trying to clear my abscond, they still need an NOC from my former employer, which I am not able to obtain.
What can I do?
