Q: How can I get an outpass if I don’t have my original passport because my company is holding it?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I filed a labor case against the company, and I won. However, I am facing challenges in the execution process. Upon investigating, I discovered that the company lacks a trade license. Now, I am unsure about the next steps. My passport is in the possession of my ex-employer, who is withholding both my passport and the executed amount. Despite seeking help from the CID police and other authorities, I have received no assistance. Unfortunately, I lack the financial resources to pursue this matter further. Kindly help me in resolving this issue.

Q: Hi Sir I was canceled by my employer but he refused to hand over my passport. He doesn't want me to change my status and I don't know the reason. He canceled the visa without my knowledge and he sent me the cancellation paper on the 10th day of my grace period for which he knew I only have 28 days. I asked him to give me my passport because I have to renew it before I can apply for a new visa or change my status, it states that a passport should be more than 6 months before a UAE visa can be issued. He, later on, put on absconding that I ran away but it's false. I also lost my wallet phrase which I wrote and hid inside the cover case of my passport and about $37,000 worth of crypto has gone missing because I can't find the trust wallet phrase to recover my crypto. They want to give me the passport but that cover case is missing, can I file a case for compensation for putting false absconding and unlawful holding of my passport and know the whereabouts of the passport cover case? Thank you

The management of individual financial affairs is crucial and all the actions must be weighed down while committing to any financial liability. Whether it's job loss that may have lead to financial failure or the opposite, one must be aware of the personal liability which will not diminish by paying fines for cheque bounce cases. There are two major types of liabilities, criminal liability and civil liability. Each has its own significance, hence, must be dealt with accordingly.

With the introduction of the new procedures for obtaining a power of attorney (POA) remotely in the UAE, after it was mandatory to appear in person in front of the notary public as a global rule to ensure the identity and intention of the person requesting a POA, we put between your hands this brief guide for how you get it done.

The UAE has adopted a major reform in its legislative system that brought about 40 new laws and amendments to the company law, criminal law, personal status, among others. The amendments aim to develop the legislative structure in various sectors, the labor law being one of these, was the most recent. We try in this article to shed light on the changes introduced with the new labor law and their significance on both, the employer and employee.

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.

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).
