Termination of employment under the UAE labour law
Q: Hi Sir, Please, can you help me understand the following below? I have been terminated from my company in Dubai. They had made me sign one letter on their Official Letterhead that they have terminated me and will be giving a grace period of one month. This was almost 1.5 months ago. After this now they have made me sign the Cancellation Letter for closing the Contract. They are telling me they will be paying my basic salary and not be paying HR, is that ok by Law?

Can period of working without work permit be claimed by an employee in the court?
Q: Aslamulaikum, I have a query, I am on my husband`s sponsorship and was working in Dubai with one company. I joined in May 2016. Employer made me sign the employment contract in May itself but did not make the labour card. So I worked with only that contract until finally after chasing the employer made the labor card in October 2016. I worked that 4 months without the work permit. Now as they terminated my employment in March and did not give any right to me I have filed a case in the court against them. I want to know is it legal if I submit my May Contract in the court as my starting date of work. Will it cause trouble for me? Because I want to fight the injustice that happened to me. Please help. Thank you.Jul 8, 2017

Is new landlord liable for the refund of a security deposit to the tenant?
Q: Please see the information given below and let me know who should pay this security deposit to the tenant and what will be the new landlord role here. 1. In August, 2016, I purchased a property in Gate Tower, Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi, where the tenant stayed. 2. His contract was until Feb 2017, so instead of returning the balance amount of rental charge, I requested the previous owner to deduct that amount. 3. After signing the contract, I received the contract between the previous owner and tenant and realized that there was a deposit AED 4,750. 4. I did not know about this deposit and transferring deposit was not even mentioned in the contract. Furthermore, the deposit agreement was between previous owner and tenant. 5. Now, the tenant wants to receive the deposit. Please let me know whether I as a new landlord have to return this deposit or the tenant has to collect the deposit from the previous owner since they made an agreement of deposit.Jul 8, 2017
