Dubai: Can your company withhold your ATM card and only pay your salary in cash? A Gulf News reader wrote in asking what his rights were in the dispute he and his colleagues were having with a company.
He said: “I am a former employee of a company in Dubai. I just want help regarding the situation I and other employees are facing, because until now the company is holding our passports, and they also don t want to give our pending salary or overtime pay. They regularly deduct our salaries and even took our ATM cards – they withdraw our salary and only hand over the salary in cash. They didn t fulfil all the clauses of our employment contract, which is why we filed a case in the Labour Court. Now, we are waiting to receive our claims from the employer, but they don t want to give them. I need to get my passport from them, as it has already expired and I need to renew it. My visa will also expire soon. Please help.”
