The bank holds the EOSB after changing administration despite paying instalments on time
Q: Hi, I would like to ask for advice. I worked in a semi-government laboratory here in the UAE. Recently, it was acquired by another government entity and our end-of-service benefits were credited to my bank of which I have a loan and credit card. The EOSB was held by the bank. I have never missed any installment as my salary is also remitted in the same bank. I submitted all the documents required. I have no changes in my salary and benefits with the present employment. What remedy can I avail for the bank to release my EOSB? I already contacted them about this but the customer service is always telling me to wait for the call of the concerned department, which I have not received until today. Thank you.

How can I get my pending salary and labour rights and remove absconding case?
Q: Good day. I just want some help and advice regarding my case. Last July, my employer sent me to jail. After holding me for a week, the court found me innocent and sent me out of jail. After I cleared my case at the court and took my passport, the CID called my employer to cancel my visa, they said that they will cancel it and also bring our things to the embassy, as well as our pending salary. But until now they didn`t do it. I went to immigration to check my status but they told me my employer filed me absconding after I cleared my case. I filed a complaint to the labor as well and they proceeded to the court, but I didn`t get any response yet. What should I do to proceed with my complaint? And is there any possibility to clear my absconding because I have court documents when they sent me to jail before? Best regards, R. Questions & Answers

تقديم بلاغ هروب ضد موظف لدى فصله من العمل
س: تم إنهاء عمل والدي في الشركة التي كان يعمل بها. طُلب من الوالد إنهاء إقامته وإقامة أبنائه ففعل ذلك ليُفاجأ بالصدفة بوجود تعميم بذريعة الهروب مع العلم أن الوالد موجود بالدولة ولم يغادرها وجواز سفره محجوز لدى الشركة نفسها. هناك خطاب فصل من العمل من الشركة وأيضًا لم يتم تسليم الوالد مستحقات إنهاء الخدمة ونتيجة لذلك تدهورت أحوالنا المادية والاجتماعية والنفسية وأيضًا تدهورت حالة الوالد صحيًا ولم يعد قادرًا على الحركة كما السابق. في ظل هذه الحالة، ما الإجراءات التي يجب علينا أن نتبعها لرفع هذا التعميم والتعويض عما تسبب به هذا التعميم الكيدي من أضرار مادية وصحية ونفسية؟ شكرًا جزيلاً!
