Q: I want to know what are chances to get my pending salary and EOS benefits. I was working in a company based in JAFZA. The company was delaying the salary 2-3 months. I started searching for a job and found a new one in DOHA-Qatar. I properly handed over and resigned. They told me that the company doesn’t have money and they asked me to leave and join the new company without cancelling my visa. They promised me that they will transfer my pending salary and EOS benefits once the company has money. Later they refused to give me after sending many follow up emails. They cancelled my visa by saying I didn't come back form vacation.

Q: Good day, I resigned from my company with a 1-month notice until December 31, 2019. My company accepted my resignation but had requested me to extend working with them till January 28, 2020. I agreed but had asked my company to pay my end of service till Dec 31, even I'm still working, since I need to settle my loans before going back to my home country. They told me that my salary for January 1-28 will be given only once I complete my extension. I already signed the visa cancellation and work permit papers even I didn't receive my remaining salary yet. My visa And work permit was already canceled on January 26. When I followed up for my 28 days salary with HR, they have no response and ignored me. I raised a complaint with the Ministry of labor. We have scheduled a hearing tomorrow Feb 1. What will I do if the employer did not appear on the scheduled hearing? Thank you!

Q: I work for a company in IMPZ Dubai. I resigned on June 23 & my last working day was on July 22, 2018. My employer has not paid 2 months' salary & gratuity till date. The company forcefully asked me to sign the cancellation paper and my visa got cancelled on  August 16. I have an email from the vice president of the company dated August 24 confirming that my settlements will be paid soon, and they mentioned in my settlement calculation that my dues will be paid upon visa cancellation, as this is their company policy. Few other employees have left the company recently & the management followed the same process. i.e. visa cancellation first and then settlement of dues. Kindly advise, how can I get my rights?

Q: Good day, In my contract, salary payment days are around the 30th of each month. My company delays salary payment. Now the first month, it's been 10-15 days, and until the moment I haven’t received my salary for May. Is it legal? Which legal argument I can use in this case? Thank you

Q: Hello, I filed a MOHRE complaint against my former boss for my September 2024 salary. It shows as closed on the MOHRE website. What does that mean? I am currently outside the UAE; can my former boss still pay me?

With the introduction of the new procedures for obtaining a power of attorney (POA) remotely in the UAE, after it was mandatory to appear in person in front of the notary public as a global rule to ensure the identity and intention of the person requesting a POA, we put between your hands this brief guide for how you get it done.

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.

This Decree sets the rules and conditions for the termination of fixed-term (limited) or unlimited (not term-bound) employment contract between employer and worker in the United Arab Emirates.

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).
