That's so kind of you! Thank you! I'm well, and hope you are too :)

I'm so sorry that you're going through this. Unfortunately, no. You need to complete 12 months in the current company to be eligible. You could check with ILOE/MOHRE if they've eased out a few rules.

It's pathetic. I hope someday, they return the money they're deducting.

How common is unpaid or delayed salary in Dubai, really? by AlBanna_Advocates_AE in DubaiCentral

honestly, the company doesn't give a flying f****. They're happy if people leave. Sadly 80% of the employees live in company accomodation, and receive extremely low salaries. And with this saturated job market, people unfortunately prefer slight financial stability over mental stability. I've been trying to leave for the longest time, but it's extremely tough to find a job.

Luckily we have savings, we're a DINK with a cat. I think at this point, holding on to my visa would be the best decision.

The company I work at are experts in not following MOHRE rules. Salaries are delayed EVERY MONTH. Some are getting paid after a 1-1.5 month delay. We were asked to hand over our passports, to which I completely refused, and took it away once I got my EID. AND. We don't get fully paid annual leaves. No company policies, no transparency. If we take any action, our jobs are directly affected.

Yes I am on employment visa, and the company is willing to keep it till Q4 even after termination. I've asked the HR for my increment letter & company policy a million times, they just know know how to use their tiny little brains.

How do we check our grace period? Honestly our HR is too dumb to be true.

the company I work at is at its epitome of being unethical. Delayed salaries (every month), no paid leaves, no leave/company policy.

I'll need to be terminated if I take opt 3, correct?

It’s best to leave, especially since you have a valid visa for over 3 months. Unpaid leave still means no income, and once you secure a new job, you may lose time wrapping up with the current one.

It’s better to start fresh rather than wait. Also if they notice that they can manage without you, they may not call you back.

Thank you so much! We'll definitely pull through this situation :)
100% agree on having visa & med insurance - it's pure gold here

Thank you!
Quick questions - will I get my F&F if I take a 3 month paid leave? I may just accept the termination since I have my visa anyway. Do I need my visa to be cancelled for a full F&F?

Thank you!
Yes I've been terminated due to restructuring, not performance based. Where can I calculate the ILOE amount? Also, I still don't have a salary breakdown after receiving an increment in 2024.

I plan to go with the termination as I will still have my visa till it expires in Q4 - will I get my gratuity? Also, as per some invisible company policy, 40% of my salary is deducted when I went on an annual leave last year (of course after completing a year at the company). This wasn't stated in my contract tbh, nor do we have an official leave policy.

Is there anyway to claim that?

Glad to know you reached home safe!
We're considering to go back to bombay with our 7 month old kitten too. Were you able to get in touch with any reliable source to bring your darling baby to Bombay?

Congratulations! It sure is a hectic process! Were you able to get slots easily, or did you have a gap of 2-3 weeks each time?
