Key Services an Employment Lawyer Provides

In the UAE, there is no trend of labour unions. But there is a strong implementation of the UAE Labour Law, therefore, employees are not used to suffering at their jobs. Professional labor and employment lawyers have also entered the professional market, who help both employees and employers in legal disputes. A layman can’t manage a good legal representation; he needs a competent, professional and trustworthy labour and employment lawyer. There are certain rules and regulations that an employer and the employee must abide by. These rules can be checked with MOHRE or these professional lawyers. These are the few key services a labour and employment lawyer can offer or offer:

1. Unpaid Salaries: Legal support to recover the unpaid salaries.
2. EOSB: Legal assistance outside the court or inside the court to recover the EOSB, e.g. gratuity, paid leaves, annual leaves, repatriation cost, etc.
3. Unfair Termination: Legal support for wrongful terminations.
4. Contract Drafting: Professional lawyers also help with contract drafting and contract reviewing.
5. Court Cases: Experienced labour lawyers offer legal assistance in litigation.
6. Immigration Issues: These advocates help to remove or settle the immigration disputes at the immigration level. Labour disputes are different from immigration.
7. Harassment and Discrimination: The nature of harassment could be sexual, physical and verbal. Therefore, there is a need for an employment lawyer who would deal with the harassment case on his behalf and save the employee’s job as well. If a worker is discriminated for their religion, colour, or any physical appearance, they can also seek legal support.
8. Medical Injuries Support: There are companies that do not compensate the employees completely for their medical injuries, caused at work, and so they take advantage of vulnerable workers who don’t know about their rights. If you are working in Dubai, and you are facing the same issues, it is better to consult legal experts.
