Q: Dear Sir, Good day. I would like to ask regarding my delayed salary. It is running for 3 months this May 2021. My employer and her family are saying that they are waiting for money from their client who is in the contracting business.

Q: An employer portrays the employee to be at fault for a financial loss, stating it is his liability and responsibility, when neither in the contract nor in any written communication this is stated, and when the fault has been with a different department and with the management. Can the employee respond and defend their remuneration from being deducted? Is this considered as grounds for the employee to file a case on the employer misconduct? What might be the approximate timeline for such a case to be resolved? (The employee has written documents that help make their case)

Q: Good day, I just want to ask what can I do to legally resign immediately from my company. Because of Covid, our company is deducting 25% on our salary and hours of work. But they didn't notify me of that deduction. I was just shocked that my salary is deducted. I have 1 year of service with them but until now they didn't give a full salary since my 1st day of work. Now It is hard for me to budget my salary for 1 month. I only have AED 2000 salary per month and it has a 25% deduction so the total is only AED 1500. My position in the company is IT Specialist, but my profession in my residence visa is a laborer. My question is, how can I resign to them immediately without getting a labor ban or giving a notice period? Or can I get my deducted salary for 1 year and pay it for my immediate resignation in the company?

An interview-format article covering the topic of employment in the UAE. This is from the legal podcast of lawyer Ludmila Yamalova, the founder of Lawgical with LYLAW. In this article, Ludmila informs readers what they should do and where they should go if they have not been paid by their employer.

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 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.

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).
