How to recover post-dated cheques issued by the employer after resignation
Q: I have worked in a contracting company for 2 years as a supervisor. During the pandemic, the company faced problems with payment and projects. That time, my visa also expired and I told them that I will not renew it because I need to get back to my home country. Meanwhile, the company is facing some financial issues and they assured me they will clear my dues later and I agreed to get post-dated cheques. I have 4 cash cheques dated 28.10.2020, 28.11.2020, 28.12.2020, and 28.01.2021 which all are cash cheques but unfortunately, still one single cheque didn`t pass because of insufficient funds in an account. I have been asking my boss politely for paying for the past 8 months. In the beginning, he behaved normally and asked me some more time but now he is telling me that because of me, some projects got problems and he didn`t get payments. Now I am in India and I have some medical issues for which treatment is going on. Presently I can`t come to the UAE to fight with him. Is there any way to get my money back? Please help me to get my money back. Thank you! Questions & Answers
