Acting against immediate termination without a valid reason

Q: Hi, I have been working for a US company since Jan 1st, 2002. On Monday, 20th Jan 2020. I was given a letter of termination which only stated we are terminating your position. I was on a UK contract from 2002 to December 2018 and they forced me to move to a local Dubai contract, I’ve been employed in Jebel Ali Free Zone for the whole duration. I had no prior warning of this, but I was asked to leave immediately and hand in my company laptop and take a 30-day garden leave. I was also given 60 additional days as an ex gratia payment. I have received the final settlement calculations which include gratuity. My question is, is this the correct procedure that should be followed? When are they entitled to cancel my visa? Is it after 30 days or after 90 days? My visa expires on 20th Feb so it looks like this was planned. However, am I entitled to ask them to renew my visa for the full 90 day period? And when do they legally have to pay my end of service benefits?

استرداد المبلغ المدفوع لمطور بعد مراوغته وإلغاء العقار

س: مرحبًا، اشتريت عقار من مطور ودفعت نسبة 24% من المبلغ في سنة 2015، إضافة إلى حجز عقارين من المطور نفسه. تم إلغاء حجز العقارين وتحويل أموال الحجز إلى العقار الذي دفعت فيه نسبة 24%. تم التعاقد معي على أن يتم تسليم العقار في سنة 2017، وبعدها قاموا بالتمديد لمدة سنة حسب العقد، على أن يتم تسليمه في سنة 2018. تواصلت معي شركة المطوِّر لإخباري أن العقار الذي اشتريته في الوحدة المذكورة في المشروع المحدد تم إلغاؤه. قمت بمراجعة دائرة الأراضي والأملاك ولم يفيدوني بشيء. راجعت شركة المطور ولم يتم إثبات ذلك. راودتني الشكوك ولم أكمل معهم الدفعات المتبقية. فوجئت بإلغاء العقار عن طريق دائرة الأراضي والأملاك رغم تقديمي شكوى عن الموضوع الذي طرحته من قبل بشأن إلغاء الوحدة في المشروع. لم أتمكن من استرجاع أموالي بأي طريقة حيث قام المطور بالانتهاء من العقار بنفس الوقت الذي تم فيه إلغاء العقار من اسمي وتم بيعه لطرف آخر حسب ما ذُكِر لي. يُقدَّر المبلغ المدفوع بمبلغ 700,000 درهم.

Forcing an employee to accept cancellation without any dues

Q: Dear Ms Khan, I signed a job offer on Nov 2017 and worked for 2 years. The labour card & visa expired on 27 Nov 2019. The employer did not renew/cancel/pay salary from Nov. On 5 Jan 2020, I resigned. On 6 Jan 2020, the HR manager acknowledged the receipt of my resignation. I filed a complaint with MOHRE. The employer attended the meeting and accepted my resignation without notice period. He also agreed to verify and settle DUES within 3 days. MOHRE closed my complaint. Now, the employer`s legal counsel is threatening to file a case and contest on grounds of Breach of Contract & Conflict of Interest. They are forcing me to accept cancellation without any dues. My questions are: 1: Are the employer`s actions legal? 2: Can I re-open my MOHRE complaint? If the Employer is not agreeing to MOHRE mediation and goes to court. What is the prescribed time frame to resolve the case? 3: Because my visa and EID have expired, I am not able to travel or even get medical treatment for myself. What are my options? Thanks!

Abandoning wife and child in home country without maintenance

Q: Dear lawyer, I want to ask about my husband who brought me to Pakistan along with my 4-year-old son on vacation and forcefully took my son`s passport from me and left me all alone with the child without any expenditure. I am on job visa and my son is under father sponsorship. Now I cannot travel back with my child because my inlaws are holding the passport for my son and blackmailing me that they will forcefully take my child.
