Hi there, Just a quick reply, but something to consider. Call centres are not really a big item in the UAE, there are a few reasons. Fairly small local and expat. population, in the "big picture" most companies in the UAE are small when compared to multi-national and even national companie...
Again, because of the relativly small "buying population" the only sales centres you may find that have any work in the UAE are property, vehicles and one whice always gets me are the banks. although, the banks generally have their centres in India :) Sales, direct sale and sales represent...
WOW... this post takes me back a bit. As for the UK tax, not sure how they apply it I'm affraid. I don't get on to DF as much or as often as I used to. See if Sage & Onions is still around, he would have the relevant info regarding UK taxes. Sorry I'm not able to help this time around.
:) well there is one situation that I've never heard about :)) Frankly, if I were you I'd stay the hell away! For example, if it were to become a criminal matter (which it may if it were to have to go to court) you could in fact end up in jail. The most obvious flaw to your thinking is that your spo...
hi there, Your probation period would be the one that is printed on your official labour contract (the "unofficial" one would not be recognised). if it was six months you may not have to give a months’ notice - as during this period services can be terminated with 24 hours notice (by eithe...
Wanted to edit the post, but seems it may be too long. I''m going to start posting amendments here: Amendment: January 2011 Property rental prices still down, but stable. A reasonable studio apartment will cost anything between 30K (International City) and 44K (Motor City, TECOM). One bedroom apartm...
Not really, depends on the type of work and the nature of the industry. Many employers will simply hire the cheapest option, without any regard for quality of work and productivity. An example of industry biased would be in the IT industry where staff from the Indian sub-continent are (normally) ver...
Hi there, Difficult situation. Basically you have done everything as required by labour law. I would suggest that you tell him that you have contacted the labour department (which you are entitled to do) and explained the situation to them; they have advised you that the your employer is to cancel y...
Have your papers been processed by the Labour Department? If they have then it would be illegal for you to continue working. He has 30 days from date of cancellation of your labour card to cancell your residency. With regards to him telling you that he was "going to tell the labour department t...
The fact that he cancelled your labour card and that you have signed your cancellation paper is already proof that he accepted your resignation. End of storey
So tell me if I get this straight, if I rent apartment for first time and for 1 month it would be: Rent + Dewa deposit + District cooling deposit + Monthly district cooling charge + phone & internet + phone& internet deposit = big headache :shock: .So my question is do I get deposits back w...

You are entitled to make them sign a formal non-disclosure agreement. What I would suggest is that you have an attorney draft one, taking into account local regulations and laws. Up until the day they resign or are cancelled you are entitled to make them sign the agreement. I would get the attorney ...
Check the contract section regarding the probation period. Normally during the probation period, the employee or the employer can give the other party 24 hours notice of termination of the contract - not 60 days ... the 60 days may come into effect after the probation period; although the norm is 30...
