Calculation of the annual leave salary upon termination
32
Q: Please help me with the below scenario.
I had worked with a company for three years. I was terminated on the basis of redundancy on 15th Jan 2019. They gave me one month notice period which ended on 15th Feb 2019.
I completed the notice period and now joined another company. At the end of my notice period, I have 34 leave days as balance. In my final settlement, the company is paying me these 34 days on the basis of BASIC salary only.
My argument to them is that I should be paid as per article 79 of the UAE labour law which states that my leave days shall be paid on the basis of wage.
I want your help to understand if I am eligible to receive a full salary (basic + allowances) for my 34 leave days or it is only BASIC SALARY for 34 days.

Request for legal guidance regarding employer harassment and premature asset retrieval demand (1) 0
Respected Law Team Members, I am writing to seek genuine legal advice and guidance for our friend regarding an ongoing issue with her employer.
On 23rd May 2025, she received a termination notice via WhatsApp from her sponsor, which clearly states that she is required to complete her handover by 20th June 2025.
Since receiving the notice, however, her sponsor has been repeatedly contacting her via WhatsApp and phone calls, pressuring her to immediately return the company laptop and office cabinet keys, despite the agreed-upon handover date.
In addition, she has been verbally accusing my friend and making threatening remarks, creating a hostile environment, and causing her emotional distress.
To clarify her legal position, she contacted MOHRE, who advised her to reshare the termination notice to the lady employer about the handover date (20th June 2025) as she outlined in the (Cont-1)

Can I get a new job and employment visa while under a false embezzlement case and travel ban? 0
Hello,
My previous employer filed a case against me for embezzlement and imposed a travel ban. I know for myself it was all a lie, but since the case is already filed and the police investigation is still ongoing, I need to find a job.
However, first, I am worried that my new employer will come to know I have an active case. Second, I am worried that I cannot get an employment visa.
Can someone help me?

Is it obligatory to issue an invoice for my customer to process his down payment? 0
Hello sir,
Is it obligatory to issue an invoice for my customer to process his down payment?
Our system doesn't allow us to issue an invoice unless the goods exist in our inventory. We also require this advance or down payment as confirmation of his order.
My customer is insisting on issuing him an invoice and says that this is required by UAE laws.

How can my kids learn about their father's condition without contacting his family? 0
Good morning,
I have two kids. Their father is in critical care and is not able to communicate, and we have been divorced for more than seven years.
The other side of the family is not communicating with the kids about the father's whereabouts for them to visit him, and they have not been in touch with the kids for the past two weeks due to family issues that took place in court regarding guardianship of the kids.
How can I find a way for our kids to know what is going on with their father and his condition without reaching out to them, to avoid any further escalation?
My daughter has tried to call them, but there was no response.
Please advise!

هل يمكن الطعن في الشيكات بعد فتح ملف تنفيذ 1
السلام عليكم،
لدي استفسارات بخصوص الشيكات المرتجعة. عندي شيكات مرتجعة وسبب الارتجاع عدم كفاية الرصيد.
١. هل يحدث طعن في الشيكات بعد فتح ملف تنفيذ؟ وهل هناك نماذج لأسباب الطعن أو الرفض؟
٢. بعض الشيكات تعتبر رأس مال وبعضها تعتبر أرباح. هل يحق للطرف الثاني رفض الوفاء بالوعود والطعن بشيكات الأرباح؟
٣. حسب علمي، صاحب الشيكات لديه أموال وأملاك وحدث تنازل لعدم تسديد الأموال. متى ينظر القاضي لآخر التنازلات من أملاك صاحب الشيك والمدة؟
شكرًا مقدمًا!
