What does it mean if my MOHRE complaint about my unpaid salary is closed?

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?

Dear questioner,

You either need to negotiate with your previous employer or find out the reason for the case closure and then refile the case with MOHRE.

If you need further assistance, kindly share your WhatsApp number.

Welcome!

You must contact the Ministry of Human Resources to verify the reason for closing the complaint.

Hello,

If the complaint is marked as closed, it means that MOHRE found a resolution or that your former employer has addressed the issue somehow.

You should check any notifications or correspondence from MOHRE for specific details about the resolution.

Even if the complaint is closed, your former boss is still legally obligated to pay any outstanding salary.

If they have agreed to pay you as part of the resolution, they should fulfill that agreement.

For further assistance, kindly share your WhatsApp number.

Hi,

Good morning!

Yes, your former employer can still pay you even if the MOHRE complaint is closed.

The closure of the complaint doesn't necessarily mean that your employment relationship has been terminated or that all financial matters have been settled.

The closure of your complaint indicates that MOHRE has finished its review process.

It does not eliminate your right to receive payment from your former employer. They can still choose to pay you voluntarily.
