How to claim pending salaries and EOSB after resignation
Q: Hello I have been working for a company in Dubai for 3 years, and in the current year, the company didn`t pay salaries. Overall now, I have 8 months worth of pending salaries + the other end of service benefits. I was chasing them around for months and got tired of it, so I resigned. I filed a complaint against the company, but for 3 weeks the company never reached out for settlement, so finally, I registered a case against the company in court. I am on my husband`s visa & my work permit expired months back. What I want to know is: 1. Now that I have registered a court case, what`s going to happen next? 2. Will I have to visit court, every time for hearings? 3. I am looking for a new job here, will this court case be any issue in me getting a new job or new employer issuing a new work permit and what can I do to ease the process of new work permit? Appreciate your advice. Thanks, S. Questions & Answers
