  7. Hi. I have a question regarding ban. I worked for 6 months for a company and suddenly they closed the brand and that brand was taken by another company. Then most of the employees had to find another job. But some of the employees were interviewed by the second company and hired. I was hired as well. But the problem is they didn't increase the wage, even they didn't ask about it either. Now I've been working here for 2 months.
    However I am looking for another job. If I find one can I terminate my contact within probation period? Will there be any ban or not? (Because I couldn't get proper answer regarding labor ban)
    In which case ia there a ban: during probation or after probation?

    Thank you for answer beforehand!

  21. Hello Sir/Mam,
    My previous employer paid my salary 3-5 months late for nearly one year. As a result, I resigned and worked out my notice period. I worked for the company for 18months, and they want to charge me fees for resigning before the end of my 2 year contract.
    I now have a Labour Case open with Dubai Court, and I am still on their employment visa. I have received a job offer from a new company and they want me to cancel my current employment visa, so they can start processing my new employment visa.
    My questions are-
    1. Can my previous employer force me to accept the final settlement when I cancel my visa?
    2. If I cancel my employment visa, will my court case stay open?

  27. Greetings,

    I am working in Raya Contact Center Gulf FZ LLC located in Tecom Area in Dubai Outsource Zone. First I was an employee of Cupola Teleservices located in the same area, my visa started from July 2016 to July 2019. In Dec 2016, I transferred my employment to Raya Contact Center Gulf FZ LLC. It was an internal transfer. I did not go out & came back with the new visa. My new employer returned my passport with their visa stamped & previous visa cancelled but the visa & Emirates ID validity remained the same.

    Now its June 2019 & no notice or anything is informed to me. Does it mean company is going to renew my visa? Or they can ask me to leave anytime and not renew my visa after it expires on July 16th, 2019? In the contract one month advance notice is mentioned prior to resigning or the termination of the contract.

    Please guide. Awaiting your precious & prompt response.

    Best Regards,
    Usman Ahmed.
