Can the employer impose a penalty on the employee for resigning during probation?
Q: Hello Rajasree, Thanks for the detailed article. It was really helpful. I just had a small query and would be really grateful if you could clarify. I had an unlimited contract but I left the job within two months because I got a really better opportunity in Dubai itself. The agreement stated that if I left before 12 months, I`ll have to pay a penalty. Is it true? (I checked some articles and I found that it isn`t)

Removing an absconding case using a withdrawal letter from the sponsor
Q: Hello everyone, I have had an absconding case for 5 years and some financial cases which I managed to remove one after one. Only one of them is pending which is a cheque case of 250k. I managed also to resolve the issue with the old sponsor and now I am afraid to visit Al Aweer because of the 150k immigration FINES on me. I want a lawyer to remove my absconding using the sponsor`s letter and even taking the sponsor himself without the need for me to visit Aweer. I am ready for any fees but most important. I need quick action because I had several experiences with fake promises and I lost some amount to people promising and not honoring their promises. Summary: Remove my absconding (I have a withdrawal letter from the sponsor) and apply for a "petition" to reduce fines for me in immigration without asking me to go there.Nov 2, 2021

Filing for bankruptcy or liquidation in case of business failure
Q: I am a partner of a small civil company with a professional license issued by DED. My company has lost court cases wherein we have to pay 400,500 AED. These cases are in the execution stage. My company also has debts of 364,000 on our books. The company is not in a position to pay the proven debts in execution court or the pending debts mentioned in our books. I want to close the civil company. Question 1: Is it better for me to file for bankruptcy or file for liquidation of the company? (Or will the court immediately start one procedure if I register the other procedure?) Question 2: I heard that the court starts criminal proceedings automatically if bankruptcy proceedings are started. Is this true? What rules to follow to avoid criminal charges? Question 3: After the civil company is declared bankrupt, will the partners still have to pay the creditors (In the ratio of the shares they held in the civil company) because our company is not an LLC. Thank you for your help!
