Can the company change the proportion of basic salary to gross salary?
Q: Dear Madam, Our management has decided to change the salary structure where we used to pay 60% of Gross Salary as Basic Salary. Now the management wants to change the basic salary of employees to 40% and the remaining amount to be included as other allowance. There will not be any decrease in the salary but there will be a change in the basic salary percentage, is this allowed in the UAE (Our company is in Dubai, a mainland company, sole establishment)? Is it legal to take this step? If yes, then under which article can the change take place? Do we need to settle gratuity based on the current basic salary and revise the contract or we can just change the basic as we are not reducing the gross salary? Please advise. Questions & Answers

What are the taxes in the UAE for working remotely with an overseas company?
Q: I wish to get a remote work visa, explained here. Is this enough to change my current permanent place of living when it comes to paying taxes? Since every person is obligated to pay taxes in the country where he lives or stays for more than 183 days. I wish to receive my salary from my EU companies to a personal bank account in the UAE. Are there any taxes in the UAE for me when it comes to salary, and will I get taxed for the capital income my company in the EU makes? Finally, from what I understood, there is no need to get any freelancer permits or anything else with this visa type and this type of income (paying salary to myself from my own EU company). Is that correct? Questions & Answers

Can the defendant in a bounced cheque case file an appeal after 6 months?
Q: Last year I had filed a civil case about a bounced cheque. The defendant was unresponsive to all notices issued via email, SMS and even newspaper. The full process was followed after which a favorable judgment was granted to the performance order and an arrest warrant issued. The defendant was finally arrested on a warrant which was related to a completely different case filed by someone else. The judge granted him 30 days to settle dues but also released him without, it seems, any guarantees for reporting back. Of course, he did not pay and is now seemingly free and can not be located. Now after 6 months the defendant has filed an appeal. My questions are: 1. Under the UAE law, isn’t the deadline for appeals supposed to be 15 days from judgment? 2. What could be the possible grounds to appeal a bounced cheque? 3. Is there any mechanism to have a warrant executed on priority - especially since the defendant did not fulfill the settlement commitments to the court? Questions & Answers
