When we calculate the end-of-service benefits of a terminated employee, how do we calculate the unused leave?
Q: One of our employees has been terminated due to the completion of the project and he has 36 days of unused leave. When we calculate his end-of-service benefits, how do we calculate the unused leave? As per the labor law - Point no 9 of Article 29 of Federal Law 33 of 2021 mentions: 9. The worker shall be entitled to a wage for the accrued leave days if he quits the work before using them, regardless of the leave duration, with respect to the period for which he did not obtain his leave. He shall also be entitled to receive leave wage for parts of the year in proportion to the period he spent in work and it shall be calculated according to the basic wage. So, should it be based on the wage (as mentioned in the 1st line of the Article) or will it be calculated based on the basic wage (as mentioned in the last line)? Please give clarification on this to avoid disputes. Thank you for answering!

What can I do if I resign during probation and the employer asks for compensation?
Q: Hi, I am now serving my notice period in the company in my probation period. However, they are asking me for a 7000 fee which I am not aware of. I was told that I agreed to this and signed the contract which is not true. I repeatedly requested a copy of my contract for months, yet I have not received any. Due to the lack of response, I checked the contract through the app and found that it was electronically signed. I do not recall signing this contract, nor did I receive any digital copy to sign. What should I do?

How to avoid legal trouble after falling victim to an online scam and returning funds?
Q: Dear Lawyers, Last month, I fell into an online money-earning scam and invested my money. Initially, I earned some money, but two days later, someone transferred the amount I earned to my bank account. That person contacted the bank, and they called me, stating that the money was accidentally sent to me and asked me to return it, which I did. In short, I lost the money I invested, and when I tried to contact the scammers, they kicked me out of the group. After refunding the money, the person filed a fraud case against me, unaware that I was also a victim. What should I do now? How can I resolve this situation? I don’t care about getting my money back, but I want to avoid any legal case since I already returned the money and was scammed myself. What steps should I take?Aug 27, 2024
