Q: Hi, Earlier, I applied for the execution of a labour case, and the court sent notices for bank accounts and asset attachment, but no records were found in the accounts and assets as the company is closed. One week ago, the court issued an arrest warrant for the owner of the company, but no update has come since then.

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I have won a judgment in my favor against my employer for pending salaries, and the execution is complete. The court has locked the employer's office, and an expert appointed by the court is tasked with selling the office assets to recover the money. However, the office assets, including furniture and desktops, are valued at not more than 5000 AED, whereas my due amount is 100 thousand. Please advise on how the court will recover the remaining balance from the employer.

Q: Dear all, I was hired as GM for a company in Dubaï which is a subsidiary of a European Holding. For 3 months, I did not receive my salary. The local company (LLC) is about to close with no more assets & no local funds. We used to receive funds from this holding to pay all local expenses. My company doesn't want to terminate my contract even they invoke that I am not working. Indeed, they removed from me the business car, the professional phone number, and the professional email without notice. The local sponsor and the director of the holding are the only ones mentioned as managers & shareholders on the trade license. Any chance to get my salaries + gratuities? Should I send a letter of resignation then and cancel my visa if the local sponsor accepts? What are the legal consequences for both sides? According to my employment contract, I should have 3 months' notice period for termination. In case of an "act of negligence", they can terminate my contract immediately (no notice period). Waiting for your advice, Thanks!

An interview-format article covering the topic of the amendments to the company law in the UAE. This is from the legal podcast of lawyer Ludmila Yamalova, the founder of Lawgical with LYLAW.

The provisions of this Decree-Law, known as "New UAE Labor Law", govern labour relations in the private sector of the United Arab Emirates. The New Labor Law repeals the previous UAE Labor Law (Federal Law No. (8) of 1980).

This Decree sets the rules and conditions for the termination of fixed-term (limited) or unlimited (not term-bound) employment contract between employer and worker in the United Arab Emirates.
