The employer is not paying the salary on time. What can the employee do?
Q: Hello Madam, My company is not paying salary on time. I have a pending of one and a half months. Whenever I ask for the salary, they do not respond to my emails and messages. Every two months only they pay me. Through the MOHRE App, the WPS section is empty. I`m not able to monitor my salaries. And I have a fear of getting all the money at the end of my service because my colleagues suffered a lot for getting payment from the company. They didn`t get paid fully. How to handle this matter? Furthermore, my employer is holding my passport too. They informed me that they will provide it in case of vacation or resignation. What to do on this matter too?

Q: Dear sir/madam, Immediate resignation was rejected. The job I am doing is not in my signed contract. The amount paid is in my contract but does not match the duties given to me. I was stopped from doing what is in my contract or else to resign & go home. I have audios of phone calls being threatened by C.E.O. All this is because they have my passport in their custody, therefore, they promised that I won`t go home till I die and I have evidence of this statement. Need advice, please!

The effect of a stopover in Saudi Arabia while there might be a case in the UAE
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I owned an LLC company registered in Sharjah but due to financial losses. I left the UAE in June 2008 without legally closing the company. I also left my two cars at the airport and didn`t inform the banks. I was paying installments for the cars. I need to go to Turkey now for a few days and have the option to fly by Saudi airlines which will have a stopover for 3-4 hrs at Saudi airport and the second option is Qatar Airlines with a 3-4 hrs stopover at Doha airport. Just transit and connecting flight from there. If I have cases against me in the UAE and if I am blacklisted in the UAE, will it affect my going to Saudi Arabia or Qatar? Can I be stopped or arrested at Saudia or Qatar airports in relation to my situation in the UAE? Please respond and help! I also need to have a complete check of my status in the UAE as I don`t know the exact situation there and if I can go to the UAE or not.

Deducting the insurance amount upon resignation by the employer
Q: Hi, I worked for a company for 8 years and 4 months. I got another job opportunity and I resigned on July 13th, 2022. I served my 30 days notice period and my employer asked me to stay till 20th Aug 2022. I agreed and I followed up for the EOSB and my cancellation paper. The company did not give me till 25th Aug 2022. On 25th Aug 2022, the company asked me to get balance confirmation (outstanding payments) from my clients, which is not possible in one day. Then I filed a complaint in MOHRE. MOHRE tried to resolve the issue amicably. But the employer refused to settle. Now the case has gone to court. My Employer is asking the following things: 1. Insurance company has paid for my daughter for the last 4 years. They want to deduct that amount. 2. They want me to get one letter signed from the client stating that they will pay the company within a certain period. My next job is getting affected; the new company might not wait for this long. I might lose my next job.

Getting a job offer in the UAE while there is unpaid bank loan
Q: Hello, I have unpaid dues on a credit card with one bank (approximately 7000 AED) and a loan with another bank (approximately 28000 AED). Due to the pandemic, unfortunately, I was terminated from my work and thus had to return to my home country. I’m behind on payments for over 1 year to date. I’ve been born and raised in Dubai and would never want to have such a situation held in UAE, thus I’m willing to return back and pay everything within the least possible time. (I have a job offer with enough salary offered to settle dues within the least months). I would like to know if there is a chance that either of the banks may impose a travel ban on me.Aug 30, 2022

Issuing a travel ban while installments are paid on time from abroad
