Can I stay home if my boss doesn’t pay my salary on time?

You must submit a complaint to the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation.

No, better to speak with them; otherwise, they will put absconding, and you will get fines.

In the UAE, the issue of delayed salary payments is taken seriously, and the law provides some protection for employees.

However, directly staying home without following the proper legal procedures could potentially lead to disciplinary action from your employer.

If your salary is delayed beyond the legally allowed grace period (typically 15 days after the due date) and your employer doesn't provide a satisfactory explanation or a firm payment date, you have the right to file a formal complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization (MOHRE).

You can do this through their channel. If you need further clarification, you may ask us.

Under UAE law, if the employer delays payment of salary, the employee has the right to file a complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation.

However, the employee cannot legally stop working or stay home without following proper legal procedures.
