Claiming compensation for a labour accident from the company insurance
2
Q: I am seeking advice on behalf of my sister.
My sister's husband worked for a company in Dubai and was away on business in Singapore, on a free weekend he took a leisure trip to a Malaysian island and was, unfortunately, killed in an accident.
The company said that the business insurance will not cover the accident due to it being a leisure trip whilst on business.
They are also withholding access to his laptop, although it is a work laptop, she feels there might be important policies, accounts and documents on it that are online only with no paper documentation.
She will need to visit the UAE to sort out his flat and belongings, close any accounts he may have had and visit his employer to recover any payments due and discuss insurance payments.
She has asked me to see if I can find any legal advice relating to these matters and to ask if there are points to be wary of, and, once she is back in the UAE I guess she will need legal representation in these matters.

View allCan the tenant exit the lease contract early after losing access to gas? 0
There was a gas pipe explosion in our building and the whole floor is unhabitable.
So we are located on another floor, gas usage was cut and had to rely on electric plates which takes longer time to cook and there is the fear of fire if left unattended.
Gas will be reinstalled after 3 months and we wish to terminate the contract early because we cannot use the gas which is one of the facilities we agreed for in the contract and we feel unsafe in the building because every now and then the alarm goes on.
They gave us an option to move to their other buildings but will even be farther from work plus the transportation costs will increase.
Do we have to pay penalty charges for a situation that is not our doing? We are already having heart palpitations whenever there’s an alarm?

Is it possible to terminate an employee due to her bad attitude 0
Good morning,
We have given an employee a final warning due to attitude and creating fights with employees.
Last time, she did the same thing after that she left the office early without informing the manager (she informed the owner of the company which is not the direct report) after that she was absent for 2 days without informing the same.
She sent a message to the owner of the company, but the owner did not reply nor approve her reason for being absent.
Is it valid that I serve her termination?
Thank you!

Filing a case for higher maintenance and possibility of travel ban 0
I'm an Australian non-Muslim expat resident for 10 years. My wife is the same, as are our three children, ages 19,16 (girls) and 11 (boy).
I have opened a case for divorce in Australia, and the hearing is in November. My wife wants to take me to court in the UAE regarding child maintenance.
I currently pay 35% of my monthly salary to my wife for child support. She wants more. I am due to leave the country next July permanently.
If she opens a court case, will that stop me from leaving? Has she got a case for more money?

Removing a travel ban requested by the guardian of a child 0
My question is about my son who has a travel ban for the past four years.
I am a divorced woman and the travel ban is from his father. I want to move back to my home country as I don't have any emotional or physical support here.
My parents are old and would like to move back for good. I have tried discussing this matter with his father but unfortunately, the matter is still unresolved.
I am willing to let go of all financial support in order to go back. Please let me know if this can be resolved in any way.

Deducting housing allowance from end of service gratuity upon resignation 0
I have resigned from my current job and my last day is May 9th after a notice period of 2 months. I was employed for 4 years.
My employer has paid me a full year housing allowance and would like to deduct the remaining months from my end of service. Is this allowed? I have not been made aware that the amount would be deducted in case I resign.
Also, I am entitled to 30 days of leave per year. Since I have resigned, they have applied a pro-rata for this year for the end of service calculation. Is this allowed?
Shouldn't I be compensated for the 30 days that I have not taken?
Thank you!
