  1. My visa is a Freezone (Unlimited) Visa in Technopark which is supposed to end in April 2020. I have resigned from my company. Does the rule of 45-day deduction from my settlement/ salary apply to freezone visas also?

    1. Yes, 45 days full salary will be deducted from your settlement, and for the last contract you will not be entitled for gratuity as you (employee) resigned.

      For more we recommend you to read the official UAE Labour Law Articles specially title 3 and title 7 through below link

      Read this Law

    2. Hi.. I just want to ask, what if employer is not following the rules, about gratuity or all the law, can someone call the employer and explain to them? maybe they are not aware, specially about gratuity of employees.. I suggest to call those employers that are not following their rules

  2. Good Morning
    I have a limited contract MOL and it is written in my contract that my probation period is 6 months and my contract is of Restaurant coffee shop manager. I signed this contract at 12 June 2019. Now i have an offer from another company having more salaray with same designation. I resigned at 22nd December 2019. But my company is saying that they will ban me.
    I started to work in dubai 2016 and in 2018 i renewd my contract and visa status is changed from staff to a restaurant manager and then in 2019 I changed a company and signed limited contract with them at 12 june 2019.
    My question is that y i will be banned. If I finished my probation period and i am getting a good offer from another company from 3000 aed to 3750 aed. Which is mentioned in my new offer letter from new company.

    1. If you have completed the probation period and don't wanted to apply for residence visa with the same sponsor, you cannot face ban. get offer letter from new company, sign it and let them apply for new visa process.

  4. Hi,
    I left my company due to non payment of salary for 4 months and my owner placed absconding on me even though he is the one who told me to leave because i wasn't able to survive with travelling expenses and everything. I removed my absconding from labour and even cancelled my visa from aweer immigration but they gave me one year ban for nothing. Please suggest is there any way to remove labour and immigration ban because i have another work opportunity in DAFZA (dubai airport freezone)

    1. Thank You for your comments ANDREW As per your comments, you are having a house hold visa also known as domestic helper visa. to calculate your gratuity online, you need to visit mohre.gov.ae or below website links. Gratuity calculator UAE specific for domestic workers is available on ministry of labour website, you can calculate on it and can print the final settlement page if require.

  9. I would like to know more details regarding renewal of residency Visa. As I
    have seen in news that the visa fine have waived off by uae government as
    our visa was expired before March 1 2020 and we were supposed to pay fine
    as we got a call from authoritie on April 21th 2020 , but immediately after
    that it is lockdown all our uae and tassel was closed and we couldn't do
    anything. Now we want to renew our visa without existing as our children
    are studying here and we are more concerned about they studies too if we
    leave back to our home country it will be very difficult for us to catch up.
    We want to renew our visa without existing . Please , we don't have any other choice other than renewing visa
    stay here. We hope to get positive reply from your side.

  10. I am speaking on behalf of a friend who was given a termination by his company approved by MOHRE. She refused to work at a hospital due to fear of COVID. However, while she was given a termination letter at same time, she was asked to report to the school (she used)to clean for 5 days time until she receive a notification from MOHRE on the complaint from the company she worked for a cleaner. What is the best thing she can do now. As of this moment she is still cleaning at the school. Appreciate your answer. Thanks.

      for example if you have a query related to visa status, you should leave your message/comment/question on UAE visa status page.

  14. Hello. I worked at my previous job until end of November when I contracted Covid at my place of work because the company didn't follow government rules on social distancing and number of people allowed to gather at one place.
    During December I was in the hospital for 2 weeks with Covid and spent another 2 weeks recovering at home care.
    I resigned from my job on the 28th of November.
    I am trying to get my final pay, which includes my salary for the month of November but the company is refusing to pay, claiming they will take my November salary as I didn't work my notice.
    I was unable to work notice due to sickness. Why are they taking my money that I earned working in November?
    Please help.

  26. Good Day, the previous labour law stated that maternity leave was 45 working days. In the new labour law is maternity leave now 60 working days (45 working days with full salary and 15 working days with half salary?) or is it 60 calendar days? (45 calendar days with full salary and 15 calendar days with half salary)

  27. The new labour law states that breasfeeding allows women one to two rest periods per day to brestfeed their child. This allowances lasts until the baby is six months old. What happens when a woman was already enjoying this allowance and the baby was eight months old in February 2022? Does the woman continue with the allowance until the baby is 18 months old? Or does the woman then switch to the new law?

    1. The best option is to apply for outpass and leave UAE.
      The other option is to request the company who filled absconding case against you is to apply for the removal of that case, if they are ready to do, take copy and visit court and appeal for fine discount, pay the discounted fine and apply for new residence visa and get legal status. Thanks

  34. Good day Ma’am/ Sir,

    I am currently
    working as a kitchen helper. For past months I was working as a kitchen helper , next months I turn to be a cashier, and after few months more I manage already the budgeting, purchasing , and they are declaring me as the incharge/PIC without any certificate that proof that I am PIC nor undergo training as a PIC and yet deductions charges to me but all of this work I am doing my very best but they didn’t give me an increase/increment salary.

    I am going almost 1 year working under with them and I already finished my 6 months under probation and I filed already 1month noticed last March 27,2023. The reason why I am resigning are there’s no health insurance, nor Public holidays, we are working more than 8hrs not getting paid overtime ,I am working not as I signed position in my contract but without increment , if we got sick we don’t have a choice to stay long as soon as we get well because lack of staffs. And I am worried about my health.

    But they said if I will be resigning I need to pay them the visa cost but in my contract that I signed there’s no agreement that I will be paying visa cost. And they said if I will refused to pay I will be going to do lawyer by lawyer and they said that I will be losing job for a year and I will go to court session by session in the court. but I didn’t do anything illegal.

    But I am still finishing my 1 month notice to them until April 27,2023 and today I ask again about the update about my resignation and they said that it’s approved, I am really scared because maybe they will put me trouble , I am not from a financially strong family, my family runs on my monthly salary only. Please help me what I will do madam/sir about this matter. Hoping for positive responses.

    Thanking you.

    Regards
