Claiming salary and end of service benefits without a visa

Hi Anitha,

You were recently answering my questions under 'Claiming the salary and entitlements for termination during probation' and you suggested that SHAMS would take up the issue of the employer not issuing a work visa/permit as well as not paying the owed salary.

I had been emailing SHAMS for the past week or so and they put me in touch with an adviser from virtualzone.ae.

After explaining the situation to them, they said that as I didn't have a visa then it's classed as a personal dispute and not under SHAMS Free Zone scope and that they won't help me.

Could you please advise on what my next step should be? Do I need to take out separate legal action?

Kind regards

Mark S.
