I need help about a case
Hi everyone, I’m really stressed and honestly don’t know what to do anymore.
I was suddenly terminated on Dec 15. No warning, no explanation . I just went to work like a normal day and got called in and told I was terminated. I was completely shocked and couldn’t process it.
Instead of reacting badly, I stayed calm and called MOHRE for advice. Then I went to HR and asked for my back pay, including 1 month notice pay, and a copy of my termination letter. They refused at first and told me to sign papers before they would give anything. I literally called MOHRE in front of them, only then they got scared and emailed me the termination letter.
After that, I tried to negotiate. I told them if they don’t want to pay my 1 month notice, then at least don’t cancel my visa yet so I can find a new job. I requested 4–6 months. They never replied, so I followed up.
When I went back to the office (as they asked), they suddenly told me they filed an absconding case against me. I was shocked again. Like seriously… after everything?!
Long story short , I fought the case and I WON. It’s approved by MOHRE and I have the official papers.
But now the main problem: they STILL haven’t paid my salary and dues. I don’t understand what’s wrong with this company.
I’ve already filed a case in court and it’s ongoing. I honestly don’t know what else to do at this point.
Also, they are still holding my passport.
Has anyone experienced something like this in the UAE? What should I expect next or what else can I do?
At this point, I’m just hoping karma does its job.
