What notice to follow while resigning if there is contradiction, the company contract or MOHRE contract?
Q: I`m trying to resign from my company and found out there`s incorrect information between my employment contract, my government contract, and the employee handbook. I was under the impression of having a week`s notice period but I`m being told it`s 3 months and I`m losing a month`s worth of salary. On top of that, it`s showing a non-compete clause for the same industry. I`m trying to change companies in the same industry, how much of an issue is that?

Can I file a case against a friend for privacy breach if he claimed I scolded him for his act?
Q: On Jan 2, 2025, one of my close friends did a privacy breach and recorded me and my van in some specific place.

Can a MOHRE non-payment certificate help transfer my UAE visa before a court case is filed?
Q: Hello, Is the following correct regarding transferring the UAE visa? The non-payment certificate issued by MOHRE can allow you to transfer your visa in the UAE, even if your case has not yet been registered in court. Here’s how it works: Non-Payment Certificate from MOHRE: - What It Is: The non-payment certificate from MOHRE confirms that your employer has failed to pay your wages or commissions, which is considered a violation of labor laws. - Importance: This certificate serves as proof that your employer is not fulfilling their obligations and supports your case for a visa transfer to a new employer. - MOHRE’s Role: MOHRE issues this certificate based on its mediation process with your employer. If your employer is uncooperative, refuses to pay, or fails to respond to MOHRE’s attempts to resolve the issue, MOHRE will issue the certificate.Mar 16, 2025
