Dubai Labour law- Workers' rights and limited contracts

Question ---- I worked at a company for more than three years on a contract for limited period. One month ago, I submitted my resignation after I received another job opportunity. But the employer did not allow me to join the new firm. He refused to give me my end-of-service gratuity. He then deducted 45 days’ salary for breaking the limited contract. He said the Labour Law does not entitle me to any end-of-service amount and that he may prevent me from transferring to another sponsor. Please clarify my right as per the law, and whether I am not entitled to any compensation, and whether I may not transfer to a new company. Note that I have been with the current employer for more than three years, and that in accordance with the Labour Law I am not required to obtain a no-objection certificate for transfer of sponsorship. Please advise. Many thanks.
Answer
I would like to clarify to the questioner that the Labour Law does not entitle a worker who was working under contract for limited period to claim end-of-service if the worker himself broke the contract. But the worker shall compensate the employer an amount equivalent to 45 days’ salary if the employer can prove the damages. The worker is, as per the Labour Law, entitled only to due pay, which the worker did not obtain. As for a transfer to a new sponsor, the employer might request the Ministry of Labour to impose a one-year ban on the questioner on grounds that the questioner broke the employment contract, which is for a limited period, and which caused damages to the employer. Therefore, I advise the questioner to seek to resolve this matter amicably with the employer so that he can transfer to a new sponsor.

I finished my 3 years contract with a company. My contract is unlimited. Now i want to look for a new company. My previous employer will not give me NOC. As per new rulings, if you finished 3 years contract-unlimited,then I don't need NOC. But my question is, what is the basis for finishing 3 years contract, is it the labour card expiry date or residence visa expiry date? thanks & hoping for soonest response...

Need help for this situation; I’m employed in design consultant firm having a 3 years residence visa, but in my signed contract (the yellow sheet) say that it is limited from September 2009 until October 2010.So, I have 1 year limited contract. Then my concern is, when I finish this contract and I don’t want to renew it, is it possible for me to join in a new company without prohibition while my visa in previous firm is still valid? In this case, what is the status of my visa? Am I transferable visa? Do I have a BAN in joining new company or Ban in Ministry of Labor? Thank you!

good day to you...

I am Mario, Can you help me answer my questions?

I was previously connected with one of the company in Dubai last 2007, The type of visa that I have is a residence visa. After a year of working in a company I went hometown for a 1 month vacation, during vacation its so happen that I am sick, I have a hypertension and my doctor advised me to rest at least 2 months, so I decided not to go back to dubai because im afraid what will happen to me so I decided to submit a resignation letter but my employer doesn't allow me to resign even if i faxed to him the medical certificate that I have, he told me that they're going to file a case against me re breach of contract, my question is why is he filing a case against me when infact my reason is reasonable enough because that's regarding my health? Another question my residence visa will expire this coming december 2010. If I have an offer again in Dubai, Am i still allowed to work in Dubai after december 2010? My health is o now.

Thank you for your favorable response.

Thank you and more power

Now her employer is blackmailing her telling her that she stole something from the shop that's why he is not entitled for the benefits. This thing happened May 2009 and only now her employer is informing her about her fault.Although the employer didnt give for her salary that month without informing her violation. Is there any chance for the employer to use this violation so the employer will not pay the employee for her benefits? Is there any fine for the employee if found that she violates the law?

I am working in dubai. my contract is a limited contract. My contract started in March 2009. In Jan 2010 after I got promotion I requested for a change in my position and salary status in my contract so that I could bring my family to Dubai. My company changed it accordingly but in the changed contract the duration of the contract has also been changed i.e contract starts from Jan 2010 and is limited till jan 2013.But in my visa the duration has not been changed and there is only a stamp which says 'only change in profession'. Now my doubt is whether my contact duration will prevail or my visa duration will prevail. I would be highly obliged if some on could help me with answers

Hi. I was employed just this Feb. 12, 2011 and now I'm thinking of leaving the company for some reasons. My question is,what will be the consequences if I will resign? My contract is for 2 years and I have a 6 months probation period. They have also provided me with the Employment visa already but I don't have my residence visa or even my labour card yet. How much should I pay for the damages if ever? Please help me. I don't know what to do. I just realized as days passing by that this job is not for me. I can't handle things this way especially when my boss gets mad and shouts at me. and he gives me all the works even those work that is not entitled for my position. please help me. I barely need it now. I just want to leave and find a better job. thanks.

A friend of mine had joined a company where he did not sign a contract yet, but had to travel for the visa change process after a month of joining. He stayed in his home country for 2 months and kept asking when his visa will be issued but the company gave no response, finally he came back on a visit visa and went to the company where they said to resume work the visa will be issued. Meanwhile he hadapplied for other jobs and he got a job so he left his previous company and joined the new company but till then the visa was issued but not stamped on his passport, now he is requesting his old employer to cancel the visa as he doses not wants to continue with them but they are resusing to do so they asked for a fee of 15000 dhs which he is ready to pay but they are just delaying for no reason his visit visa is expiring on 11th april after 2 months his new company cannot issue him a visa.
He went to the labour office and they asked him to pay the amount which he is agreeing to but the PRO is delaying the process by not appearing at the lanour office.
Please advice what can be done his new company is dubai Jebel Ali Free Zone, can he further exrtend his visit visa, or is there any easier way to get the previous visa cancelled.
Really looking forward for a response.
He is really tensed please help on this regard.

If a person under 3 years limited contract completes his term and does not wish to renew/extend his contract:
1. Is he entitled for gratuity?
2. Should the company provide him a ticket when his new employer is unable to provide a new visa in time after the 30 days grace period lapses?

Dear all, I joined April 2011 as Professional Auditor on LIMITED CONTRACT. I am on Dubai Visa. Currently I am getting good jobs in free zones and in Dubai. Can I resign and no action would be taken by my curent employer if I broke the Law?

Please advice in detail, because same problem is being faced by many skills persons in Dubai.

Dear Sir,
I am working in a construction company from 12/04/2006. Initially my contract was with Jabel Ali free zone and when it expired in June 2009 and company asked me to sign a letter to change the contract from free zone to DNRD Dubai without giving any gratuity and given me a letter on 14/06/2009) mentioning that " please be acknowledge that the below mentioned leave and gratuity entitlement will be carried forward to your payable account with our organization since we are going to change your visa status from Jafza to Dubai naturalization and residence department with effect from 10th June 2009". I had signed the new contract (limited) on 15/08/2009 effective from 03/08/2009. Sir I just want to know that my service will count as continuous or not and how the gratuity will count if I resign from service now.

I was working for a company from Feb 2000 till August 2010. Then had to travel back to my country due to pregnancy problems (with a leave letter from the doctor). Returned back to dubai in April 2011 on husbands sponsership.

Labour contract (Limited)mentions executive secretary, but my last job was sales. After my return to dubai, when i call the company & ask them for my settlement they say first you have to get the outstanding payment then we will give you your gratuity. I have not signed any document that I will collect the money first from the customers then take my settlement. Secondly my boss has closed the company and asking me to join his another company. My last salary was AED 8000/month. kindly let me know how to go about it to get my settlement.

With notice period specified in UAE Labour law (usually 30 days) then the amount is according to the following:
Employed for less than 1 year - no gratuity
Employed between 1-3 years - 7 days for each year of employment (1/3 of the limited contract amount)
Employed between 3-5 years - 14 days for each year of employment (2/3 of the limited contract amount)
If you employed longer than 5 years - 21 days for each year up to 5 years, and 30 days for each year after 5 years (same as for limited contract holders). Maximum limit is of 2 years’ worth of salary.
Unless the employer has not fulfilled their obligations according to the UAE Labour Law, or the employer has assaulted the employee (Article 121 conditions for permission to leave employment without notice). You might have to file a case with the Ministry of Labour in the UAE to claim your gratuity in this case.
Gratuity is calculated on base salary only, any additional allowances are ignored

the owner of our company said that duty hours on ramadan will be 7 hours and he dont care if we go and sue him.
what can we do?

Sonukatha said...

Six-hour a day work for private sector during Ramadan
The rule applies to all workers regardless of their religion, whether they are fasting or not.
"As per Article 65 from the Federal Labour Law, the working hours are reduced by two hours during the month of Ramadan to six hours (36 hours per week) from eight hours (48 hours per week). Based on this, the working hours for those working in commercial establishments, hotels and even security, are also reduced to six hours a day," he added.
However, a worker could be employed for more than six hours daily during Ramadan if the extra hours are considered as overtime and he or she is compensated for it by 25 per cent of the basic pay per hour during day, and 50 per cent during night, Dr Al Hosani clarified. He stressed that establishments in all sectors are supposed to honour and implement the rule. Each company is allowed to organise its working hours to serve its best interests, but on the condition that workers are compensated for the overtime hours, which should not be more than two hours a day.
An official source at the Ministry of Labour, meanwhile, has said the company officials must place signboards or issue notices indicating the reduced working hours for all workers during Ramadan. Notices must be in all languages spoken by the employees or labourers at the particular establishment, and must be placed in such a way that they are visible to all staff.
He called on the workers to report the establishments to the ministry or labour offices across the emirates if they are forced to work for the regular working hours during the month.
He said the ministry would intensify inspections at the establishments during this period, and the violating firms would face penalties as per the labour law

Hello Sir, I was working with Computer Showroom since last 4 & 1/2 years, i had taken a Loan from the company, in Feb.2011 before going on leave for 15days my Director asked me to give Local Bank's Chq as well as Home Country Bank's Chq as a SECURITY CHEQUE, in GOOD FAITH i gave two Open dated & Blank chqs to the Company. After coming from Leave everything was going on smoothly, On June 12th around in afternoon time my boss came to me & told me to get out of the Showroom & not to come back till he calls me back with that he asked me to repay the Loan which i took from the company. Say in July 2nd week i paid 75% of the Loan amount & for Balance 25% of the Loan amount i asked him few months as i was not having fund that time, i wrote him around 10 emails but he never replied back. One day in the month of July 2011 i received call from his employee telling that come & sign your Visa cancellation form, i went & signed the same & after two months i sent him a mail regarding my Visa Cancellation Status that time he told me that everything is finished & pay my balance loan amt & take your Passport so i said that give me few months i will repay your money back, but he disagreed & thinking that i will have to pay overstay charges, i went & lodge a compalin with Immigration dept on 2nd of Oct.2011, on this basis immigration officer called up my boss that time he told that he wants to make Police case on me & he need time, so immigration officer gave him 3 days time & in that three days time he deposited my open chq. (which was given as Security Cheque) with my TOTAL LOAN TAKEN AMOUNT, on 3rd day i went to immigration again that time i came to know that he has deposited & bounced the chq.& he has opened Police Case on me. The very same day i got next interview call & interviewer told me that they are ready to takeover my liabilities of Balance Loan amount, on this basis i sent mail to my boss that i need to settle my account for the balance loan amount (No Reply) & i called him up twice, thinking that he will talk to me (Telling Hello - Disconnected the Line) & i sent him Sms (No Reply) till today. Please advise me What to do & Where to go or anyone is there to help me out (I have to visit my family as my father is not keeping well since last 3 months hearing all this), I dont understand when i am ready to settle the account, why he is not coming forward, i feel this is nothing but ONLY HARRASMENT.

Anonymous said...

Dear it is not clear from your issue why the employer filed absconding against you. After completing your contract period I think without the consent from the employer you are working with other company. Without cancelling the visa or without getting NOC from your existing employer, UAE law not permitting the employee to work with other employer. contact your employer and request him to withdraw the absconding petition

They have all my medical background they know I goit stuck in many countries because of that and that I even got a perforation in my drumb to be able to fly back from one of the destinations. How can I claim them not to charge me? should i take it to any court? is it in any law written that due to sickness you can quit? Thank you.

Hi, how are you doing? My visa was cancelled by my employer. My visa cancellation is valid until 30 march 2012. Now 21 march already. I don't have any new jobs. Can I extent it? Or, I have to exit to my home country? Or, if I got a new job in these days, can I exit to the nearest country as just exit before I have new entry visa? And how can I apply the visit visa? I would like to know the requirements and procedures for it. Or, please advice me what should I do. Thank you so much.

Hi! Me & my co worker was working in a cargo company since June 2011. The company give us a copy of the system visa as we are waiting for our visa to be stamped on our passport. But to our dismay,till this moment our visa is not yet stamped on our passport.We don't have labour card and insurance card since we have started working there.For how many months that we always follow up about the status of our visa, they're just telling us "don't worry","no problem".They always promise us that they are working on that. And because of our situation,we want to ask the help of Labour Department. Are we working legally? We have all the proof that we are their employees. Please help us and kindly give us advice about our situation.Thank you

Hope you are holding employment visa. Within 60 days time from the arival date the employer must stamp resident visa for the employee and take labour card for the employee. Before stamping the visa the employee must under go for medical test.
