Labour case by the employee after the payment of entitlements
One of our staff was on an Unlimited Contract. We gave him a 30 days' notice stating that we won't be renewing his contract.
We paid him in cash his EOSB - 21 days for each year + Leave Salary (not basic, but full salary) + Ticket Money in Cash.
He signed and it's mentioned in the company letter all full and final settlement received with no outstanding.
Now, this employee has filed a complaint at the Labor Department and denied receiving any cash. I have raised this complaint to Dubai Courts.
What are our chances of winning?
Unfortunately, my accountant didn't take his signature on the Receipt Voucher.
Kind regards,
Mark

Dear Mark,
Greetings of the day.
Thanks for contacting online.
Even though the employee has moved labour court, you can defend the matter either personally or through a lawyer based on the documents which you mentioned above and prove that the employee has already received his EOS benefits.
If you could succeed to prove that the payment is already made, then definitely success will be on your side in the court.
Please feel free to contact me at 0556635526 or WhatsApp me at 0508575526 if you need any further assistance or clarification on this.
