Variance in the terms of an offer letter and MOL contract
1
Q: Good day,
I joined a company and the offer letter that I signed with them was stating that I have to achieve the target for getting my full salary.
But in the MOL contract, I signed that was not there and I had hoped to receive my salary always.
And now I am getting the salary sometimes only when I achieve that target in the offer letter signed with the company.
Thanks

Offer letter: 30-day notice period, MOL contract: 90 days. Which one is valid?

Q: Hi,
I recently accepted a job offer from a company in Dubai. According to the offer letter, the notice period is 30 days. However, upon joining, I was asked to sign the MOL contract, where the notice period is mentioned as 90 days.
I don't want to sign the offer with a 90-day notice period. I checked with the employer, and they mentioned that this change happened recently.
Kindly advise on the following: Which offer letter is valid in this scenario?
Should I consider filing a legal action against the employer for changing the employment contract terms without informing me?

How can I cancel my visa and POA for financial matters if I have a travel ban for company bounced cheque? 0
I am seeking urgent guidance regarding my current visa status in the UAE. I was previously employed by a company that has now shut down, but my visa is still under that company.
During my tenure, I held Power of Attorney (POA) for all financial matters. However, after a cheque issued by the company bounced, the owner revoked my POA without my knowledge.
The company officially closed last year, and the owner (a lady) has been missing since the case emerged.
No one from the company is responding, and I am currently stuck in Dubai due to a travel ban imposed on me related to this case.
I need clarification on the following points:
How can I cancel my existing visa under this closed company?
Will I be able to obtain a new visa under another company despite the travel ban?
Are there any legal blocks or restrictions affecting my visa or employment options?
What legal steps can I take to resolve this situation?
I would appreciate your guidance on the next steps and any possible solutions.
