فتح شكوى من إدارة الشركة بعد إنهاء الخدمة

لقد عملت في الإدارة العليا لشركة لمدة عامين واستقلت نظرًا لأسبابي الخاصة.

تم قبول استقالتي في 15 نوفمبر 2017 وطُلب مني تسليم المسؤوليات إلى الإدارة الجديدة منذ أكثر من عام مضى. تم إلغاء تأشيرتي أيضًا في أغسطس 2018 بعد بضعة أشهر من استقالتي.

تولت الإدارة الجديدة المسؤولية ولم تتمكن من إدارة الأعمال بكفاءة بعد مغادرتي، وأدى ذلك إلى إنهاء خدمة الإدارة الجديدة.

تقوم الشركة الآن بإلقاء اللوم علي خلال فترة توليتي للمسؤولية مع الشركة في السابق، كانت هناك بعض القرارات الخاطئة التي تسببت في خسائر للشركة.

تريد الشركة الآن رفع دعوى قضائية ضدي. أنا أتلقى رسائل تهديد عدة واتصالات لكي أعود وأحل القضايا القديمة، وهذا يسبب لي العذاب المعنوي.

أنا لست في وضع يتيح لي مساعدة الشركة في التعافي من خسائرها. يرجى تقديم المشورة ماذا يفيد قانون العمل في الإمارات العربية المتحدة في مثل هذا الوضع؟

Dear Sir/ Madam,

Thank you for getting in touch with me on this.

I understand that your employment contract was effectively terminated on 15th November 2017 (please confirm on the date).

Please note that Article 6 of the UAE Labour Law states that any action accruing from the employer-employee relationship should be brought to court within a year.

Considering your contract ended on 15th November 2017, the one-year period has elapsed and the company cannot take any action under the UAE Labour Law.

However, if the company believes your acts were in contravention to the interest of the company or you have taken money from the company, the company is legally entitled to initiate a criminal case against you for misappropriation of funds or any other criminal nature.

I suggest that you respond to their legal notice through a lawyer so that your stand is taken on record.

You are not legally and ethically bound to return to the company as your relationship with the company has been terminated and now you have nothing to do with the company.

I trust you will find the above appropriate.

You may get in touch with me on 052-9495731 or email on hari.wadhwana@gmail.com if you need assistance regarding responding to the notice or having legal representation.

Regards,

Hari Wadhwana

Thanks, Hari!

While nothing wrong has been done in terms of misappropriation of money...etc, during my tenure with the company, however, there are false allegations on me currently.

I have even been threatened in writing that I can not leave the UAE now. Can my previous employer still impose a travel ban on me without any proof or ground?

25 Dec 2018, 06:19

Hello,

No, your ex-employer cannot impose any travel ban on you.

However, if your previous employer has initiated a criminal case against you, then there will be a travel ban until the criminal case is over.

25 Dec 2018, 06:36

Thanks.

I do not have any information currently about a criminal case against me, however, I suspect that they may file a case on a false allegation against me.

Should I wait to get a legal notice to react or there is any legal way to find if there is any initiative already taken against me to file a case?

Secondly, if there is a travel ban then how this can be removed and how long is the validity of the travel ban?

25 Dec 2018, 06:50

You can visit any police station around you and inquire if there is any criminal case filed against you (Please take Emirates ID/ passport).

However, there is a risk that they may take you into custody if a case is filed against you.

If a travel ban is imposed pursuant to a criminal case, then until the criminal case is over the ban will remain, unless the court accepts bail on conditions.

Can the police still arrest if any false criminal case is filed without any trial/judgment by the court?

25 Dec 2018, 07:37

Yes, police can if they need you for questioning. Whether the case is false or true will only be revealed on the date of the judgement.

Instead, you can appoint a representative who can go to the police station to check if there are any cases against you.

25 Dec 2018, 07:56

Okay. I will be in touch with you to take your assistance. Can you find if there is any case against me yet?

25 Dec 2018, 07:57

Hello,

Yes please note down my number 052-9495731. I can assist you with inspecting police records for cases.
