She will have to enter on a visit visa initially and later your company will file for her resident visa. Her documents must be attested by the UAE embassy in the UK but your company should be able to do it for you. i think k-dog means that company will do her other paperwork (residency processing),...

Bear in mind that all literature coming into the UAE for sale, as well as literature published within the UAE is subject to censorship prior to distribution. Think that you will find that comics don't really rate high on the priority list at the censor department. The collection(s) that you may have...

Tell your employer that you have phoned the Labour Department (this normally gets their attention). They have advised you that, in terms of Article 117 of the labour law you have provided them with 30 days as per the regulations governing unlimited contracts and that they are to start processing you...

mmmm.... not really popular, firstly Arabs and dogs don't have a good history and very few Arabs keep dogs as pets, let alone would use them in a work environment. k-9 units would not be well received. Secondly in the middle of summer taking a dog outside and expecting it to work is simply cruel; po...

You know of course that's exactly where old Mike Jackson was hanging out when he got caught in the women’s bathrooms .... :D He ran into the book shop opposite the kiddies play area .... :roll: At least I got some mileage out of it.. I used to take my visitors on the "Michael Jackson escape tou...

They are quiet correct regarding the gratuity payments: I had written a brief article on it and will paste it below for you to see how the calculation is performed and the criteria on which it is paid out. Gratuity payments are mandated by UAE law; this means that the company has to pay an employee ...

mmmm. you could possibly, go to your manager and tell her that you feel bad about leaving under the circumstances, and would work on for another month to help them out (so that they could find a replacement). depends if you have told them about your trip to the MOL already... they may not already ha...

agreed, not much scope. have your certificates attested before you come, this will save you money and perhaps may put you ahead of other candidates

Return air tickets each year is not mandatory, the employer is only compelled to provide a return ticket/ repatriation flight (to point of origin) on successful completion of the labour contract. If the contract is broken early the provision falls away and the onus is on the employee to pay repatria...

sorry, duplicate

PM me your emailadress and i will send you the pdf labour law. AFAIK air ticket is depending on your contract, basic H I is law? Basic HI through your medical card and the government medical system is currently law, although they have been looking at changing and enforce private medical insurance o...

the employer is only compelled to provide a return ticket/ repatriation flight (to point of origin) on successful completion of the labour contract. What if an employee sucessfully completed his contract but decides to renew it with the same employee, is he entitled for: 1. return ticket (end of co...

Hi, I was made redundant by my company in Dubai (due to the economic slowdown) and they are refusing to give me an NOC. I had been working for them for 8 months and obviously they are now about to cancel my visa. Can someone help me with the following questions: I'm sorry to say that there is nothin...

BAYT, the site and jobs its self are okay. They are a very old/ long running and well respected site. I used to get a lot of legitimate contacts through this site. The additional CV writing service ... Well, that remains to be seen! This seems to be a third-party service. The Labour Law is quiet str...

dbxsoul

That I can empathise with. I hope they are able to do you justice, I have found in general the grammar and language usage in the region to be poor - not that mine is great in any event. I also feel that a third party cv, while probably 100% factually correct fails to covey any of the essence of the ...

good luck!

Be warned, things in the UAE are not all the rosy either! Construction industry and any allied fields have also been affected by lay-offs and cancelled projects. As to fitting in, don't worry 80% of the population is expatriate. If you've seen the movie "The Kingdom", well it’s nothing lik...

From the way it looks, your options are limited and will not get much better through not taking any action - if you have the opportunity of a job at this stage then take it! 1. Your current employer said that they would give you till March to find a new job. Speak to them, tell them you have a posit...

:D Well technically speaking they are all locally owned business as a local business man has to own 51% minimum of every registered company. Guess I'm just being picky, but yes I would agree with you. Real estate, construction, banking (although banking is an international problem at the moment, not...

Go yourself, take all your papers and substantiating documents with you if you intend making some kind of case/ complaint.
Arrive early 7 - 7.30 am. It is useful to take someone with you who can speak and read Arabic.

Firstly it’s not legal, but you have to weigh the options of taking a cut or not having a job. there are employer who are most certainly having a difficult time with the recession - others are simply using it as an excuse to cut some overheads and possibly loose some surplus staff. In most cases if ...

hi there, once they cancel your residency visa you have 30 days to leave the country before you can start being fined or even arrested and depoerted. as there is no residency ban you can immediatly apply for a visit visa once you are out of the country. i suggest the ony way that you can possibly st...

Hi, I am working in a private company for almost 4 years now. I want to know if I resign the company and they refuse to give an NOC will I get a labour ban? They are entitled to refuse to give you a NOC. NOC is not a right to employees, but is given at the discretion of the employer. If you do not ...

Quick question I'm currently working in Media City and have done for just over a year, my company is terminating my unlimited contract due to cost cutting. Am i right in assuming that as i have completed more than 1year that i will not have a ban and that i do not need an NOC to work for another co...

dbxsoul

I agree, it sucks. But, try and see if you can get the company to deduct the 20% from your "perks" and not your basic. At the end of the day they are still saving 20% (current), the economy is sure to be more stable when your contract is finally worked out and you may then get the full amo...

dbxsoul

I would honestly advise that you go to the department of labour; if this wage cut has been happening for more than a month then you will have a stronger case. The only way that you could possibly try to get out of your contract at the moment (without the ban), it to prove "non-payment" by ...
