Restructuring loan installments with a bank after salary deduction
Q: Dear Sir, I am requesting your advice regarding my case of Bank EMI default.

Can the employee refuse to move to another job location if asked by the employer?
Q: Hi, Good day! I just want to ask a question, My contract is unlimited and working with my company for 3 years already here in Dubai. My job is Office Assistant and the office I`m working with didn`t renew the contract from my company. Now, my company wants to send me to another Emirate which is Ras Al Khaimah.
