2
Q: Hello Sir.
I am Dr Parag Pitti, a General Dentist.
The clinic where I was working before, terminated me in my probation period without giving me any notice and then asked me for my passport for visa cancellation.
Since it was my probation, I accepted the termination but asked for salary for the days I worked with them. They said they will give me the final settlement and asked me to give my passport for visa cancellation.
Now, they have cancelled the visa but I haven’t received the salary. What should I do?

The procedures of labour execution and its time frame
57
Q: Dear Sir,
I have a labour case in Dubai Courts and got the final judgment on my favour. Now, I am going to open the execution file. If I withdraw my case, the company is ready to pay 50 per cent of the amount.
Will the execution court make any negotiations if the employer ask for deduction? Will it take a long time to make the execution?

Outstanding salaries and non-renewal of visa by the employer
6
Q: Hi,
My Name is K. and I've been working in a company registered in Sharjah since last 2 years. Recently, our employer has set a trend of delaying salaries and now it’s been 6 months accumulated due.
However, the employer releases one salary whenever the client is paying the company. In this due course, my visa is overdue for renewal. I have notified the employer and he promised to renew the visa in a week.
What should a person do if the visa renewal process on a committed day is not begun and the 6 months' salary is still overdue?
Who will be liable to pay fines for the delay in renewal if occurred?
If the WPS is not regularized by the employer, will the visa get renewed?
This is getting really more stressful day by day since there is no proper roadmap of paying the overdue by the employer.
Awaiting your guidance and information
Regards,
K.

The restaurant is sold to another person without paying employees' dues

2
Q: I was working at a restaurant. An accident happened and fire exploded in the kitchen. Other staff members get burn on faces. Municipal officials came and my boss got fined because CCTV was not working.
My boss closed the shop on September 3, 2020. I did not get my salary. My visa expired on September 26, 2020. I am already overdue. I did not get paid until now. The restaurant was already sold to others on September 5, 2020.
My visa is expired and I do not have my accommodation rent. My boss procrastinates and tells me that I will get my dues tomorrow. I'm afraid of the fine.

View allI secured a mortgage from the bank and the broker kept delaying until the MOU expired. What to do? 0
Hi,
I need some guidance regarding a property transaction that is not progressing as expected.
My broker initiated a manual Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between me (the Buyer) and the Seller, with an expiry date of 01/02/2025. Within this period, I successfully arranged the bank mortgage, property evaluation, and NOC.
However, the broker started giving excuses, such as the seller being hospitalized. Later, the broker attempted to arrange a Power of Attorney (POA).
However, after that, they started ignoring my messages and calls. It now seems like they no longer intend to proceed with me, and the MOU has already expired.
Meanwhile, my bank EMI has already started, and I have paid two monthly installments. The broker is still unresponsive. I have raised multiple complaints through DLD RVS against the broker, but the response has been very slow and unsatisfactory.
I’m feeling stuck and financially burdened.
Please advise

What can I do with the contractor I paid to build my house and disappeared before completion? 0
Hey,
I'm building my house in Dubai, and it was going well.
I gave the contractor 420k as a first payment, and we both agreed that the rest would be in installments. Just two months ago, the contractor went off the grid, and I can't find him.
All I have is a security cheque that bounced back when I went to the bank, as the signature doesn't match what's in the file.
However, I learnt that he does have money, but not the amount that's in the cheque.
What should I do now to get my money back?
I need advice.
