You are likely eligible for leave salary after one year of service if you resign with the required notice period.

If the company does not pay or delays visa cancellation, document everything and consider formal requests or legal action as needed.

I found your reply very detailed and precise. I will contact you at the appropriate time. I just need to confirm that I resigned before completing one year, but with a 3-month notice, I completed 1 year and 27 days.

Hello,

If your employer refuses to pay your leave salary or any other dues, you can file a complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE).

Your employer is responsible for canceling your visa upon your resignation.

For further assistance, kindly share your WhatsApp number.

Dear Questioner,

Thanks for your inquiry!

According to UAE labor law, an employee who has completed one year of continuous service is entitled to an annual leave with full pay.

This means that if you have resigned after completing one year of service, you are entitled to receive your leave salary for the remaining days of your annual leave.

If your employer fails to pay your leave salary, you have the right to file a complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization (MOHRE). The MOHRE will investigate the matter and take necessary action to ensure that you receive your entitlements.

In addition, if your employer delays the cancellation of your visa, you have the right to file a complaint with the MOHRE.

Your employer is legally obligated to cancel your visa within 30 days of your resignation. If they fail to do so, they may face penalties and you may be entitled to compensation for any losses you may have incurred due to the delay.

It is important to note that your employer cannot withhold your visa cancellation or any other entitlements as a form of punishment for resigning.

If you face any issues with your employer, it is advisable to seek legal advice and assistance from us via phone or email.

Greetings,

Dear questioner,

Yes, you are eligible to receive the annual leave salary if you have not taken it. If the company is not paying the salary and end-of-service benefits, or not canceling the visa, you can file a complaint with MOHRE.

Hi,

Good afternoon!

Yes, after completing one year of service in the UAE, you are generally entitled to leave salary.

This is a standard labor right in the UAE. Regarding the delay in visa cancellation, your rights depend on the specific circumstances and the terms of your employment contract.

However, if the delay is causing you significant inconvenience or financial loss, you may have grounds to file a complaint with MOHRE or seek legal action.

For further assistance, kindly share your contact details.
