Questions & Answers

Q: Can a telecommunication company come to my HR to collect the unpaid due bill? They called me and said that they will do so. I mentioned over the phone that they communicate to me via email and I will respond there. They are checking my personal information. I have a recording of the conversation. Are they legally allowed to harass me like that? Thank you!

What are the consequences of non-competition agreement after contract expiry?

Q: Hi Ma`am, My 2-year contract will soon finish in November this year. So I submitted a letter stating that I`m not going to renew my contract anymore. It was a 3 months notice. Recently, she spoke with me and informed me that there is a non-compete clause in my contract and that I`m not allowed to seek another employer unless they allow me to. The clause states that "The Second Party shall be committed not to work in the same competing business of the First Party in the UAE for a period of two years, if the employee has terminated the employment contract or if the contract has expired as per article 127." I want to know if there is a way that I can still find and transfer to another employer. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: Hi, I recently purchased a home. It`s currently rented and I want to move in, but the law says that a 1-year eviction notice is needed.
