2
Q: Good day!
I am writing to get advice on behalf of one of my junior employees. He has resigned from the company after working here for 8 years during which the company has provided him with a ticket back home once during his vacation.
Right now, he is willing to go back home and the company is refusing to provide him the ticket (based on the reason that he resigned and was not terminated), and refusing to include "unused" ticket allowances as well based on "he did not use them on time".
Please let me know if they are legally obliged to provide him with the ticket and if yes, how can I help him to get it?

Q: Kindly advise me. My contract with my employer is an unlimited contract.
I resigned from my job and on resignation when I demanded my return air ticket, my employer told me that they are not responsible for my repatriation.
They will deduct it from my final settlement. Is this correct?

Do we have to provide a flight ticket to the employee if we terminate him for bad performance?

Q: Hello,
The company terminated the employee for poor performance. He claims the repatriation tickets.
Questions:
1) Shall we cover the cost of repatriation?
Because as per Article 13 (12), if the termination is for a cause, the employee is not eligible for repatriation tickets.
2) If we have to pay, during which period of time we need to provide tickets?

What is the responsibility of the employee in case of leaving before the end of the notice period? 0
What is the responsibility of the employee?
The employment contract is set to conclude on 31st May 2025. The employee initiated discussions regarding a salary increment approximately 30 days prior, during which the management engaged in meetings with the employee but ultimately decided to maintain the current salary.
The employee subsequently chose not to renew or continue the employment, this decision having been finalized in a meeting held on 20th May 2025.
How does the notice period apply in this context?
Specifically:
1) Would the grace period (30 days after the contract/visa ends) be considered as fulfilling the notice period requirement?
2) Is the employee entitled to request a different salary during this grace or notice period?

What can I do if the employer refuses to compensation and settlement after terminating me without notice? 0
I work for a Meydan Freezone employer under a limited contract. The employer has terminated my contract without notice after 1 year and is not offering to pay 3 months' compensation severance, nor a notice period, nor a correct settlement.
They are asking me to sign a contract to waive it. I contacted MOHRE, who stated you need a NOC or referral letter from Meydan, but Meydan stated they do not issue one, and private matters and disputes are between you and the employer.
