Q: Dear Madam, My salary is 5000 in WPS, but in June, my company deposited 1000 by mistake. Is there any chance to rectify or deposit the 5000 dirhams again?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, Greetings! I am working in a fit-out company as a project coordinator. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, my company issued a letter stating that our salary is reduced by half. But the problem is that the company is showing a full salary in WPS and not issuing my salary cards. I requested them, not to do this, but in vain. I have bank loan payments and home rent pending. And unfortunately, I can't take any advantage of the UAE Government benefits in this crisis, because I don't have any salary slip to show I am getting half salary. I am very tense and afraid. Please advise me, how can I solve this problem? Thanks A. K.

Q: One of our staff stole money from the company. The staff has confessed to the stealing on a letter - signed with a fingerprint. The staff has agreed to deductions in order to cover up the funds taken. Can we do this? Will there be any issue w.r.t. WPS?

Q: Hi All, Can someone please advise if shareholders are exempted from WPS registration in DMCC? Our business owner is listed as an employee with the visa title of sales executive, but his name is mentioned on the license. However, he doesn't receive any salary and doesn't reside in the UAE but only visits the UAE occasionally. Thank You in advance.

The UAE has adopted a major reform in its legislative system that brought about 40 new laws and amendments to the company law, criminal law, personal status, among others. The amendments aim to develop the legislative structure in various sectors, the labor law being one of these, was the most recent. We try in this article to shed light on the changes introduced with the new labor law and their significance on both, the employer and employee.

The provisions of this Decree-Law, known as "New UAE Labor Law", govern labour relations in the private sector of the United Arab Emirates. The New Labor Law repeals the previous UAE Labor Law (Federal Law No. (8) of 1980).

The provisions of this Law, known as "UAE Labour Law", govern the relationship between employers and employees and other labour matters in the United Arab Emirates. There are special labour related regulations applicable in some of the free zones in the UAE.
