Can the employer hold my passport and ask for visa cost if I resign for salary reduction?
Q: Good afternoon. I am on an unlimited contract in Abu Dhabi, working at a private company. I`ve been here for 5 months, now I submitted my resignation letter to my boss last May 18 as he wanted to put me on commission-based payment. I asked for a reduction of salary letter or any letter stating that I will be on a commission basis. He doesn`t want to give me and wants me to reimburse the money he has put in my bank account. He wants me to pay for the visa costs. He is also holding my passport. I have filed a complaint on MOHRE about this on May 18. Then he received a message about the complaint and instructed me to leave. On May 19, I received a call from MOHRE and we settled and I withdrew the complaint. I went back to work to do the 1-month notice but he refused. He is threatening me that I was absent since May 18. He doesn`t want me to work there, he deleted my work email. I was at the office on May 22 but he refused to accept me so I called MOHRE about my case and they reactivate my complaint again. Legal blog

Salary reduction without the employee's consent and false counterclaim on labour case
Q: Hello. My husband is a heavy truck driver in a transport company in Dubai, working in that company for the last 4 years. His boss (arbab) suddenly asked them to work on less salary of just AED 2500. My husband and his other 3-4 colleagues were not willing, so their boss started harassing them. He didn`t pay their money, made them sit free at home for many months, neither was he canceling them. So they took legal help and filed a case against him in the labor court. In turn, that boss filed a criminal case against my husband and his colleagues, a false case that they have made a loss to his company by stealing and selling diesel illegally. He has got a confession letter signed by them by lying. he told them as papers for attending safety classes. He didn`t allow them to see the papers. The papers were in English which they don`t understand being not much educated. He has put a loss claim of approx.1 lakh dhs on each of the 4 persons. What are our chances in this situation?
