Despite paying for ILOE insurance, the insurance company denies my claim. Is that legal?



2
Q: Good day,
I received a notice of termination two weeks ago. I paid for annual ILOE insurance in Dubai in July 2023, but the insurance company informed me that I am not eligible to claim.
Is that true?
My feeling is that they do not want to cover it.
Please let me know if you think I am qualified to submit the claim.
Thanks a lot!

Q: Dear Lawyers,
I have just completed one year with a private company in Abu Dhabi.
I am on a two-year contract, but the company is not doing well and has informed employees that our employment will be terminated due to its financial situation.
What is the difference between intimation and termination of a contract under UAE law? Can an intimation memo be filed to receive the ILOE insurance benefit?
Thank you!

How can we claim our money back if the cheque we received have bounced for insufficient funds? 0
We received a cheque which has now bounced. We have tried for over a month and a half now to get a new cheque from the person, and every day he says the next day.
We need the money now. We have been to the police station, and they said they can not do anything as the reason the cheque bounced is "Insufficient funds."
We have been to Al Barsha - Dubai Courts, and they said there is nothing they can do about it.
We are not sure what we can do. We need the money asap to pay our kids' school fees, let alone all the interest we have lost.

Who is supposed to pay for the transfer fee, the employee or the employer? 0
Hello
I joined my new company on February 26, 2025. Upon joining the new company, I asked HR if it was free to join the company, and she said yes.
After working with them for 1 month, I experienced a salary delay, and I had to go to the office to ask why there was a delay in my salary.
That is when the HR told me she deducted my whole salary to recover the transfer fee.
Now my question is, who is supposed to pay for the transfer fee, the employee or the employer?
