قبول الاستقالة وإنكار المستحقات. ماذا يفعل الموظف؟

س: السلام عليكم ويعطيكم العافية، بعد عملي مع شركتي السابقة لمدة سنتان، قدمت استقالتي ووافقوا عليها. تأخرت الشركة أكثر من ٢٠ يومًا في إيداع مستحقاتي لكنني لم أكترث بالتأخير لأنني قلت أن بيننا عيش وملح ولن يحرموني منها أو ينقصوها؛ لكن توقعاتي كانت خاطئة. حاولوا حرماني من بعضها ومع إصراري على باقي المستحقات لم يوافقوا، فأخبرتهم بأني أرجو منكم الحل السلمي بدون اللجوء للقضاء، لكن ما فعلوه في اليوم التالي أنهم رفعوا ضدي بلاغ هروب! أريد التنويه إلى أني فتاة. أرجو أن تخبروني وتدلوني؛ ماذا يمكن أن أقدم ضد الشركة من مطالبات قانونية كضرر نفسي وغيره، لأن ما حصل فيه ظلم كبير لي، فماذا يمكن أن أفعل؟ وكيف آخذ حقي؟ جزاكم الله خيرًا!

How to recover the amount of bounced cheques under the new law?

Q: Hi, I have a cheque bounce from a person who owes me 63,000 AED. They are two cheques; one for 43,000 and another for 20,000 have bounced. How can I recover my money? The person continues to ask for more time but it has been 4 months now and I no longer trust him. Please let me know the timelines, also whether a travel ban will be imposed on him with the recent change in the law (decriminalization of cheque bounce). Also how much court fees will need to be paid with the new law (with direct execution) and is it recovered from the other party? Looking for urgent help on this, please!

How can I make sure whether a job offer is genuine or scam in Dubai?

Q: Hi, I received a job offer in Dubai as an electrical/instrumentation supervisor but I`m just a bit confused for two reasons: 1) The starting monthly salary is AED 93,500.00 plus other benefits of AED 12,000.00 2) The company asked me to pay for the visa and for the work permit in the UAE (the site seems original and genuine..). The sum would be repaid at the beginning of the work in Dubai. This is strange because I have never advanced money for a visa in my passport and for a work permit when I worked abroad out of Italy I suppose this is a fake job offer. Thanks and regards G.

مدافعة دعوى قضائية رفعها شريك لاسترداد قيمة شيكات

س: السلام عليكم، دخلت وأربعة شركاء في مشروع. المحاسب كان أحد الشركاء وهو أخ لصاحب رأس المال. بعد سنة من العمل، أخبرنا أن المشروع تعرض لخسارة وعرض على الشركاء جزء من البضاعة مقابل شيكات بنكية وفي حال لم نتمكن من التصرُّف في البضاعة أو التعثُّر، يمكن العودة للشركة. وفعلاً بعد شهر أعدت البضاعة للشركاء لسببين: أولاً: تعثُّر تصريف البضاعة، والثاني: أن طريقة المحاسب في حساب الأرباح والخسائر كما علمت لم تكن صحيحة وأعطت خسارة المشروع. استلم اثنان من الشركاء البضاعة ولم يُعد الشريك الذي حررت الشيك باسمه الشيكات لي وأصبح يطالبني بالسداد من خلال دعاوى قضائية. ما الحل في هذه القضية؟

Sending a non-renewal notice by a new owner of a property while it was sent before

Q: Dear sir/madam, I am considering buying a residential property that is currently rented out. If the current owner issues the 12-month notice to the tenant, will that notice still be in effect when I purchase the property? Or will I have to serve notice again? References to the law where it states either case will be helpful. Thanks!
