Dear Questioner,

As per UAE Labor Law, after termination, the dues shall be settled within 14 days.

If you do not receive your salary within these days, you can file a complaint in MOHRE for the pending financial entitlements.

Delaying the payment of workers’ salaries is prohibited in the UAE.

You can file a complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation to collect all your labor rights, and we look forward to helping you.

Dear Questioner,

It is the obligation of your employer to pay the outstanding salary to you within 14 days of termination.

If they fail to do so, you can approach MOHRE against the employer.

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.

If your UAE employer delays paying your balance salary after visa cancellation, start by communicating with them and reviewing your employment contract.

If the issue persists, file a complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE), document all communication, and consult with us for guidance.

MOHRE may mediate, and if necessary, you can pursue legal action in labor courts to claim your unpaid salary.

For any further legal assistance, you can WhatsApp us. We have an extensive team of knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to provide the legal assistance you need.

We will be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards,

ABDUL WAHIED

Dear Questioner,

I assume you have signed, at the time of cancelation, a confirmation of dues receipt.

However, if you have proof beyond that showing balance salary non-payment, you can approach MOHRE and file a complaint to compel the employer to pay.

There are several ways to file the complaint; online, a phone call, or visiting Tasheel.

Dear Questioner,

If your employer delays paying your balance salary after canceling your visa, you can take the following steps:

1. Contact your employer:

The first step you should take is to contact your employer and inquire about the delay in payment.

It is possible that there may be a genuine reason for the delay and your employer may be able to provide you with a timeline for when you can expect to receive your salary.

2. File a complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization (MOHRE):

If your employer is not responding to your inquiries or is refusing to pay your salary, you can file a complaint with the MOHRE.

They have a Wage Protection System (WPS) in place to ensure that employees are paid their salaries on time.

You can file a complaint online or visit the nearest MOHRE office.
