How can the manager receive labour rights and enforce the judgment
Q: Hello. I am a manager in the trade license (free zone - DMCC). I am employed, but my employer didn`t pay my salary and don`t want to cancel my visa and don`t want to remove my name from the trade license. I am not a shareholder. I already won a labour case and struggle with the execution department to enforce the judgement as I am still registered as a manager. Seems that I won a case against myself and have to pay myself now. No logic in this and no help from Al-Adheed and free zone. I believe that the solution is in the removal of my name from the trade license, which will force the owner to appoint a new manager and unblock the execution. Please correct me if I am wrong. I am looking for help with the removal of my name from the trade license. Questions & Answers

Fiduciary
A person with a duty to act for another person’s benefit and who assumes a duty to act in good faith and with care, candor and loyalty in fulfilling this obligation of trust. A fiduciary relationship encompasses the elements of faith and confidence and is generally established only when the confidence given by one person is actually accepted by the other person. Mere respect for another individual’s judgment or general trust in his or her character is ordinarily insufficient for the creation of a fiduciary relationship. The duties of a fiduciary include loyalty and reasonable care of the assets within custody. All of the fiduciary’s actions are performed for the advantage of the beneficiary. Questions & Answers
