Delaying visa cancellation and payment of dues upon resignation
Q: Hello Sir! I worked as a Logistics Coordinator from Sep. 2017 - Feb. 2018 in a free zone company in Dubai. I resigned with a 30-day notice before my probationary period ends because of unpaid salary and my employer accepted my resignation. It`s been 5 months since I left the company, but my visa has not been cancelled by my employer which is fine for me as I am still looking for a new job as at this time. My previous employer did not pay me my last 2 months` salaries and has not responded on any of my follow-ups. My question is at the time that I get to find a new job and need cancellation of my old visa, what if he does not respond? Will the free zone company still cancel my visa even without my old employers NOC?

Arbitrary termination and claiming rights from the employer
Q: Hi, I am a lady accountant and I started my job on an unlimited contract with a Dubai auto access LLC company on 30.09.2017, but the employment visa is on 16.11.2017 & visa stamped on 14.01.2018. In my contract, the basic salary is 3500 + 250 for HRA + 250 for transportation. From Feb 2018 onwards, the company raised my salary to 4500 based on my good performance, but in 16.07.2018 they terminated me through Whatsapp without any notice period. The reason is that the market is dull, so they will hire a part-time accountant. I even went for work there on 17th July, but they didn`t allow me to work. Moreover, from this month I faced a lot of mental torture and harassment from my colleague (and relative) for no reason. Later I understood they purposefully did all this torture to resign by myself. But I suffered. They will only pay 15 days` salary for July and no other benefits. They insulted me when I asked for my rights on the last compromise talk on 18.07.2018. Then I filed a case on them and the hearing is on 21.07.2018. In this case, what are my rights and total settlement as per the UAE law? Please advise.

Liability for bounced cheque of work paid accomodation
Q: Hi Naser, Got a question. My company is responsible for paying for my accommodation as it`s listed in my work contract. However, the apartment leasing contract is under my name and the 4 cheques are paid by my company. One cheque was bounced 4 months ago (the landlord sent us an email asking to pay for it and the company promised to do but couldn`t). In 1 week, the last cheque will get bounced too, due to insufficient funds and financial problem in the company. Adding to this, I got terminated last week. Can the landlord file a case against me (how much time it takes, would I receive a travel ban)? Or will they deal ONLY with the company? I can`t pay anything from my side so would they ask me to leave the apartment immediately? Can I take my furniture out or they have the right to keep it? What is the worst consequence that can happen to me? ThanksJul 20, 2018

Filing a bounced cheque case and requesting a travel ban
Q: Hi. One of my customers had taken some products on credit and gave me two cheques of AED 300000 (total AED 600K). At the due date of the cheque, the customer asked not to put the cheques in the bank as he’s short of money. When I asked for money he made some excuses. I fear he may run away from the UAE. What should I do for such a case, where I had not put the cheque in the bank for a transaction as I fear if he notices the bounced cheque he escapes from the UAE?Jul 18, 2018
