What if the employer delays paying after canceling the visa?
Dear Sir/Madam,
What to do if the employer delays paying the remaining salary after canceling the visa?

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.
Dear Questioner,
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,
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.
