Q: Hi,
Greetings!
I hope you all are doing well!
I want to file a complaint against a semi-government company online regarding the EoSB and salary issue, but I am not able to find the platform to file a complaint. I have checked with MOHRE & FAHR.
As per MOHRE, they only deal with private-sector and LLC companies whereas FAHR deals with only government companies.
They also have no clue where I should go and file the complaint.
Any information, please?
Your kind assistance will be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

Can I be convicted of driving under the influence even if the alcohol test came back negative? 0
Hello,
I was driving my car when the police stopped me at one point on the road and told me that I was driving under the influence of alcohol.
I tried hard to deny that because I had not actually consumed any alcoholic beverages that day or in the previous three days.
However, a report was filed and a case was opened, but the alcohol test report came back negative. Will I be convicted despite that?
Please answer me. It is urgent.

Can we legally claim unpaid dues for food supplies based on emails and invoices? 0
Hello,
We have an agreement with a company to supply food for their buffet on a daily basis, with invoices to be issued monthly and payment to be made every three months.
The relationship actually lasted for nine months, and payment was made for two periods. In the third period, due to disagreements between our company and the company to which the supply was made, they refused to pay, noting that the outstanding amount so far is fifty-four thousand dirhams.
Can we claim the amount, noting that the agreement is not written, but there are emails exchanged between us and invoices?
