Proceeding with a labour case at the court for unpaid salaries
Q: Hi, I want to file a case against my last employer who has failed to settle my last 6 months` salary, and the settlement is approximately more than AED 100,000. I went to Tawafoq Center and registered my complaint. They tried to arrange a meeting, but my employer is not responding at all. So they transferred my complaint to the court and gave me the referral documents. Now, I don`t have enough money to hire a lawyer or pay any court fee. I don`t know the procedure too. Kindly advise me on the proceedings.

Civil case for defaulting on the outstanding payments of credit card
Q: Dear Sir, Good day. I had a credit card with a bank in the past in 2016 and my credit limit was AED 7500. I lost my job so I was not able to pay this amount at that time. The bank filed a criminal case against me and I went to jail for one month in 2016. Now, the bank called me again and asked about the payment, but I`m still not able to pay. The recovery agent told me they are filing a civil case against me and they`re asking me to pay AED 29000. How is it possible as my card limit is 7500 only and that time the bank filed a case against me for AED 10000? What should I do in this case? Please assist meMar 12, 2019

Calculation of the annual leave salary upon termination
Q: Please help me with the below scenario. I had worked with a company for three years. I was terminated on the basis of redundancy on 15th Jan 2019. They gave me one month notice period which ended on 15th Feb 2019. I completed the notice period and now joined another company. At the end of my notice period, I have 34 leave days as balance. In my final settlement, the company is paying me these 34 days on the basis of BASIC salary only. My argument to them is that I should be paid as per article 79 of the UAE labour law which states that my leave days shall be paid on the basis of wage. I want your help to understand if I am eligible to receive a full salary (basic + allowances) for my 34 leave days or it is only BASIC SALARY for 34 days.Mar 11, 2019
