How to cancel the visa while the company delays cancelation and the employee is abroad
Q: Hi, I was working in a private clinic and I submitted my resignation through email and even informed the owner on WhatsApp and worked till the end of my notice period. I have asked my company to cancel my visa since the beginning of my last working week and have sent them repeated calls and even emailed them to cancel my visa. I told them that I will be leaving Dubai on 22/10/2020 so they should cancel my visa before that but they did not cancel my visa and they kept on delaying it. Now, I`ve left UAE and I still want to cancel my visa so the owner asked me to pay for visa cancellation on WhatsApp, my friend did and they have cancelled my labour contract however my visa is still not cancelled at GDRFA. I have repeatedly sent them messages on WhatsApp, phone calls and email asking them to cancel my visa before I leave UAE on 22/10/2020 but they ignored and did not cancel my visa. My question is what should I do as the next step and how can I cancel my visa as I`m outside the UAE? Please guide me! Questions & Answers

تطبيق قرار إداري بشأن مكافأة نهاية الخدمة بأثر رجعي
س: تحية عطرة، أنا إماراتي عملت سابقًا موظفًا في الحكومة الاتحادية واستقلت منها واستلمت مبلغا قدره (ثمانون ألف درهم) باعتباره مكافأة نهاية خدمتي. بعد أربع سنوات، رجعت إلى وظيفة لدى حكومة أبو ظبي، وقدمت طلبًا لضم خدمتي السابقة إلى خدمتي الحالية، وتمت الموافقة على طلب الضم على أن أسدد مبلغ الثمانين ألف درهم قيمة المكافأة الذي سبق أن استلمتها. مضت السنون (19 سنة) ولم أسدد المبلغ . وعندما أردت أخيرًا أن أسدد قيمة المكافأة، طلبوا مني سداد ما يقارب مبلغ المليون درهم، بذريعة أنه حدثت إعادة تقييم جديدة لطريقة حساب المعاش التقاعدي. السؤال: أليس القرار الذي صدر سابقًا بقبول ضم خدمتي وسداد مبلغ (الثمانين ألف درهم) هو الواجب التطبيق، كونه أصبح حقًا مكتسبًا لي لا ينبغي تعديله أو إلغاؤه، وعلى أساس مبدأ عدم رجعية القرار الإداري، وحفاظًا على استقرار الأوضاع للأشخاص وعدم تجاوز السلطات على بعضها البعض، وغير ذلك من الأسباب المتعلقة بأحكام وقواعد تطبيق القرارات الإدارية؟ ألتمس من أساتذتي الأفاضل الرد القانوني السليم مع جزيل شكري وتقديري!

Reducing salary and leave encashment upon resignation due to COVID-19
Q: I worked in an LLC company for 1 year and 4 months. After completing one year, I haven’t taken any leave or encashment of my 30 days leave with full pay. During the Covid-19 pandemic, my employer reduced the salary without my approval, no contract was signed. There is no COVID impact in the client`s place where I am working. They did not reduce my contract with my company while the employer still reduces it for 6 months. I have resigned now. My employer dictates the amount on the final settlement. Indirectly, his saying is if you don’t take any leave, I will pay the full amount of your leaves and if you left the company, I will pay only basic salary. Without a sign of approval, he reduced my salary. Kindly advise me! Questions & Answers
