Hourly rate increase not honored after 12 weeks, what can I do?

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have been working for a recruitment agency and I was told that my hourly rate would go up after 12 weeks.

I was also given a handout that said this. However, they are now telling me that to get the higher rate, I have to have been in the same placement for 12 weeks.

I wasn't told this and it's not on the handout.

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.

In a situation like this, your rights and entitlements would depend on the specific terms of your employment agreement, any handouts or documentation provided, and the labor laws in the UAE.

If the handout you received clearly stated that your hourly rate would increase after 12 weeks without any mention of being in the same placement, you might have a case to argue for the higher rate.

It's recommended to review your employment documentation.

For any further legal assistance, you can WhatsApp us. We have an extensive team of knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to provide the legal assistance you need.

We will definitely be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards,

ABDUL WAHIED
