Q: Hello,
My husband and I registered a company in a Free Zone in the UAE. In the company, there are only two shareholders, him and me.
I am a resident on a partner visa, and he is not. So, I would like to ask if it is possible to have an employment contract and receive a salary, as I perform multiple roles in the company.
Thank you in advance!

How can a sleeping partner recover his benefits as an employee?
3
Q: Dear sir/madam,
I am a sleeping partner in a private LLC company in Dubai. I am paid a salary monthly. I am in the process of resigning from the company. However, the Indian partner is not willing to give me end-of-service benefits as per the labor contract.
He wants to reduce the benefit amount. Please note that I am authorized to operate the company bank account and can sign cheques and other documents.
How do I recover my benefits legally?
Please advise!

Does a managing partner need a NOC from the company to work in another company?
2
Q: Does a managing partner holding an investor’s visa need a NOC from the company to work in another company? What should I do?
The company didn’t operate yet, no letterhead or stamp, thus telling me they can’t provide it. Instead, they want me to cancel my visa.
What will happen if they cancel my visa? Will I still be the managing partner and still be liable for the consequences of their acts?
I'm just a managing partner by paper but I'm not the business owner. I just help them to open a business here in the UAE using my credentials.
The other partners went out of the country for a year now and didn't start the business yet here in the UAE.

Dear Lawyers,
I rented a studio on a monthly basis, and my rent included all utilities and bills, with a contract that isn’t Ejari.
Now, the landlord has cut off the DEWA and is asking me to vacate the unit and take the rest of my rent three months before the contract expires.
Is there any legal action I can take against him?
