I won the case against my employer for not paying my pending dues, what's next?
Q: I won the case against my employer for not paying my pending dues.

How to claim the pending salaries after leaving to home country?
Q: Hi Everyone, I was having pending salaries for about 5 months with my company. I sent them many emails for releasing my salaries as I was having room rent, food, and transportation plus supporting my family in Pakistan. No one replies to my emails from HR or any other department. Then I sent a leave application with an official email that I have no money and I am going to my home country. For that email also no one replied. I left the country and stayed in Pakistan for 40 days. Then I sent them emails for my pending salaries and ticket to come back for work. My company`s HR replied to me that I went without management approval and they decided to terminate me. Before a few days, they gave me a termination letter with immediate effect. Kindly advise what should I do and can I get a one-month salary for termination without a notice period? Questions & Answers

My lawyer is not dealing with my bounced cheque case. what can I do?
Q: Hi all, I recently engaged a law firm in the UAE to help clear some cases against being due to bounced cheques. The firm did not provide any formal quote or letter of engagement and the service, including cost, was discussed via emails. The firm`s response to a request for a quote or letter of engagement was that their internal policy is such that does not provide such correspondence. I was asked to pay the full fees upfront which I did. Prior to and since the engagement began, I have been liaising with a business development person at this firm and I have requested multiple times to speak to the lawyer assigned to my cases. The response I get is a short single-line answer dismissing the request. I have also been asking for an update in terms of progress so far and received responses to the effect "lawyers are working on it". There is no specific update provided in terms of actions, submissions to authorities, or any other matter. Does this approach appear reasonable by a law firm in the UAE? Questions & Answers

فصل العامل وتزوير توقيعه على أوراق إلغاء بطاقة العمل
س: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله، أعمل في فندق بأبو ظبي، وبسبب مشاكل صغيرة تلقيت من المدير ورقة الفصل من العمل. لم أوقع وفي اليوم التالي عندما كنت في الدوام، أحضر لي المدير بعض أفراده ممن يشتغلون في الشرطة لكي أخاف وأوقع على الورقة ولم أوقع لمدة ٣ أيام متتابعة يحضرون لي الشرطة ولا أوقع. بعد ذلك طلب المدير من حراس الأمن منعي من دخول الفندق. لم أستلم رواتب ولا أي شيء منذ شهر ١٢، كنت أذهب إلى الشغل ويجبروني على الرجوع ويطردونني ويقولون لي سوف نلغي إقامتك حين يفتح الطيران إلى بلدك. بعد ٣ أشهر أو أكثر من العذاب مرضت فيها، تفاجأت أنهم ألغوا بطاقة العمل من طرف الشركة ووقَّع المدير في مكاني ولم أستلم رواتبي. مع العلم أنني كنت أذهب يوميا إلى الفندق وهم يطردونني وكنت أدخل أوقّع مقابل بعض الكاميرات. عندما عرفت أنهم ألغوا بطاقة العمل، ذهبت إلى المدير ولم أخبره أنني أعرف كل شيء. تحايلت عليه وإذا به يعطيني أوراق الإلغاء لكي أمضيها. جميع الأوراق مستندات إلغاء حقيقية وتحمل توقيعه بتاريخ هذا الشهر. أخذت الملف ورحلت وهو معي. ماذا أفعل في هذه الحالة لآخذ حقي؟ Questions & Answers
