Q: Hi, I was suspended from work, and after a week they terminated me for the discrimination against a colleague, but it is unintentional discrimination; my company did not pay my EOSB. Does the company have the right for not settling my EOSB? When I asked them they said "because you're terminated for disciplinary actions", that's why they did not pay my EOSB. I worked with the company for 3 years and 6 months. Thanks

Q: I was working in a company for the past 2 years. I was given the duty of processing visas for the staff and labours and also for licensing the company. So they used to issue payments to me. Due to doing the work through agents, very few receipts were submitted. But I kept a record of all the payments made and reported the same to the company on a day-to-day basis. Now, they have terminated my services and when I submitted my settlement dues, they said they need to do auditing for doubts of embezzlement, only after that they will pay my dues. Also, I heard from my colleague that they want to put a case against me so as to not pay me any money. The termination letter was served to me and mentioned no need for a notice period of 30 days. To win the case they will go to any extent and they are rich too. I have no records to prove my innocence. What should I do? I didn't lodge any complaint yet in the labour court.

Q: My company filed an absconding case against me while I was in prison. This caused me to stay another 15 days. Can they not see I am in prison and not absconding? Can I file a libel case against my company and how much I can ask for compensation?

Q: Hi. What are the implications of a false sexual harassment case for the complainant?

Q: Dear Sir, I am staying in Ras Al Khaimah. My employer had imposed absconding on me. After that, I approached MOHRE to get my salary dues and made a mutual settlement with my employer. As part of the settlement, I have received 25% of my settlement money, and the remaining 75% balance was agreed to be paid at a later stage. During the absconding removal process, my employer imposed on me 1-year labor ban. Please suggest to me how can I get my settlement balance fund. And also, will there be any immigration ban possibility on me? Please suggest to me how to go ahead, my visa grace period will be completed on 14 Nov. 2022.

Q: Hi Sir My company filed a false absconding against me when I was still working and going daily to office. I have proof that I was in office and I was in contact with the company, so what am I supposed to do?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, Can a company report an employee as absconding if he cancels the employment but does not leave the country within the grace period? I have already signed an MOL letter from the new company, and my new visa is under process.

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, If an employee is put under an absconding case in the UAE, is he entitled to all the benefits from the employer? Or does he have to pay a fine to the company as he left for reasons beyond his control without giving notice?

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.

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).
