Can the company pay the labor execution amount in cash rather than in court?
Q: I opened execution one month ago and Abu Dhabi labor enforcement already seized the trade license, company cars, and bank accounts Now the company called and offered to give me the money but they want to give me cash at Enjaz office Mussafah in Abu Dhabi. I heard that once the execution is opened, the company must deposit the amount in the enforcement labor court only. Then, the court will transfer the amount into my bank account and I already provided my bank account details while opening execution before. Actually, I am not satisfied with getting cash money in this way. I feel satisfied with getting money through court and I don’t know why the company wants to give cash. Please advise me, should I receive cash money in this way in Enjaz office or should I refuse with the company and tell them to deposit it in the court bank account? As per law, what should I do? Please advise
