Arbitrary dismissal and compensation under the UAE Labor Law
Q: Dear Madam, My name is R. S. working as a facilities maintenance supervisor in Shariah, UAE. My employer terminated my unlimited contract with one-month notice period (Arbitrary Dismissal) and provided me with all benefits with notice period payment of one-month full salary. I requested the company to pay compensation salary for an additional 3 months with my yearly bonus of 1.5 months salary. The company did not agree and I filed a formal complaint at MOL online, but the mater is not solved yet and MOL transferred my case to the court. Kindly advise what is the actual benefits I have to get as per the UAE employment labour law. Still, I am requesting at least to pay compensation of 2 months` salary and they are not ready to pay. Is it advisable to solve my issue at the court? If not, please advise what is my right and further step.

Claiming the unpaid price of items delivered to the client
Q: Dear Sir, Would like to know how I can deal with the following situation. I am the MD of a granite exporting firm in Andra Pradesh, India. In Sep 2018 I had delivered two containers of granite to a company in Ras Al Khaimah. The understanding was AED 10K on the delivery of container and the remaining 35K within 3 months as PDC. However, the client gave only 5K as cash on delivery and so far has been giving various excuses (in between around 45 days he was in India). The PDC date was in Dec 2018. My company is not registered in the UAE and we have delivered the container on CNF. The cheque issued is on my name and is from the client`s company. I need to know what I should do to recover the money. I have a residence visa in the UAE. Thanks Sajan

Getting clearance from the bank after settlement of a loan
Q: Hi Miss Gatina, I was hoping you could answer a quick question for me. If I have an open legal case raised against me by a bank for unpaid liability, then the liability is paid off, are they obliged to close that legal case and/or issue a NOC? The reason I ask is that my bank won`t close it as I have another outstanding liability and in negotiations to settle, they can only open a civil case for that one, not a legal one. So my question is, are they allowed legally to keep a case open for a liability that`s been paid off? Can they be forced to close it? Thanks DebsFeb 17, 2019

Settlement of a bank loan by paying the fine
Q: Hello, I would like to inquire about the fine for not paying my outstanding personal loan. My outstanding loan amount is AED 95,000 and I don`t have money to repay this loan. I came to know that there is no jail term if we do not pay the loan. I read somewhere that you just have to pay the fine which the bank will impose on you and that`s it. I would like to settle this matter with the bank by paying the fine. Can you please advise how much fine roughly I have to pay to settle my loan. My bank is E.I. Thank you in advance!
