Questions & Answers

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? Thanks

Q: Hi. One of my customers had taken some products on credit and gave me two cheques of AED 300000 (total AED 600K).
