What happens if my employer suddenly goes to jail and has not paid my salary?
Hi,
What happens if my employer suddenly goes to jail and hasn't paid my salary?
In this case, who pays my salary in the UAE?

Hi,
Your employer's imprisonment does not affect your salary at all, as the employer would have other assets outside.
You can obtain a court order to sell such assets and receive your salaries.

Dear Client,
Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.
If your employer goes to jail and fails to pay your salary, you still have rights under UAE labor law. You can file a complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) or the relevant authority in your emirate.
The government may intervene to ensure you receive your unpaid wages. In some cases, the company's assets may be seized to settle outstanding dues, including employee salaries.
However, the process can vary depending on the circumstances, so it's advisable to consult with us to ensure your rights are protected and to navigate through the process effectively.
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 and Regards,
ABDUL WAHIED
