Q: Hello everyone, It is a pleasure to send you a question. I hope you can help me with my situation, I need advice about my visa.

What to do if you get terminated and denied gratuity for a minor mistake?
Q: My brother has been working for a company for 11 years. In the last 3 weeks, he had an incident/accident and scratched a plane since he only had 1 person to assist him as the company was not hiring enough people. Senior staff like him are working more to train inexperienced new hires which adds to their workload working almost 12 hours/day including travel to DWC. The pilot said it was aesthetic and could be painted over but a police investigation ensued. Last week 3 managers and HR talked him down as the investigation concluded. He was terminated immediately with only this month`s pay and his 11-year gratuity will not be given by the company. It was not gross negligence or malicious intent, he just didn’t have enough people to help him. He owned up to the mistake and reported the incident within 24 hours. Can he fight for the gratuity?

How to release my bank account after dropping charges in a wrongful fraud case against me?
Q: Hi My account is frozen & I need to unfreeze it at the earliest as it was maybe due to my case which has been finished & I`m acquitted of all charges as it was a fraud case in which people used my name to scam someone. I have been going through both the Central Bank & my own bank but can`t find a solution. However, the last update that I got was to go to the same court & inform the court accounts team to send an email to the central bank to release my account through which the problem would be solved. Appreciate it if someone could guide me on this if it is the right procedure.Jan 13, 2025
