Unpaid Salary
Q: I have been employed by a company for more than two years under a contract for an unlimited period. However, for more than three months, the company did not pay me my dues and I finally submitted my resignation due to the non-payment of my salaries. I then filed a complaint before the Ministry of Labour to claim my labour rights and overdue salaries. At present, the complaint is pending before the Ministry of Labour. Can I claim damages from the company? It is worth noting that I could not pay my rent on time and the real estate office of the building wants me to vacate my apartment. Furthermore, can I transfer to a new company without the consent of the employer? My employer would not provide me with a no-objection certificate (NOC) to transfer the sponsorship. A: Resignation over non-payment of a worker’s salary is deemed to be arbitrary dismissal, according to the Cassation Court. As such, the employer shall compensate the worker a maximum of three salaries, based on the court decision. Therefore the questioner shall ask the employer for compensation for arbitrary dismissal, along with the other labour rights and overdue salaries. As for the question on the transfer of sponsorship, if the worker failed to get his salary for more than two months, the Ministry of Labour will transfer his sponsorship and as per the labour office rules, there is no need for an NOC certificate from the sponsor (GN). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Related Pages -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abscond Reporting Annual Leave Ban-1 Year Cancellation Clearance Letter from Employee While he is in Service Bank Guarantee Refund Designations Emergency Leave Employment Ban Employment visa during Ban Employment rules Employment Visa Gratuity Haj Leave Labour Contract Labour Contract Amendment Labour Contract FAQs Labour Contract New (After Entry) Labour Dispute Labour Establishment Card Labour Fees Information Labour Card Fine Calculator Labour Guarantee Refund Labour Law Limited Contract Lost Labour Card Maternity Leave Non-competition clause Notice Period Occupational Disease Overtime Part-time Visa Probation Period Profession Change Professions Reasons of Work Permit rejection Salary increment Severance Payment Sick Leave Tasheel Centers Termination-Contract Visa Cancellation Visa Transfer Work Permit Work Permit for relative Sponsored Work Permit rejection Ministry of Labour Timing: Saturday to Thursday 7:30am to 7:00pm Call Centre: 800 665 Website: www.mol.gov.ae
