Labour disputes in the UAE and MOHRE complaints
We protect employees and employers: unpaid salary and end-of-service gratuity, unlawful dismissal, confiscation of documents, and disputes over the contract and non-compete clauses.
When clients come to us
- your salary has been delayed for a second month
- you were dismissed without the proper procedure being followed
- gratuity has not been paid on dismissal
- the employer is holding your passport
- you are being threatened with a UAE work ban
What we do
- review the employment contract and its MOHRE registration
- calculate the outstanding amount and the gratuity due
- file a complaint with MOHRE and go through mediation
- file a claim in the labour court if no agreement is reached
- resolve your visa status for the duration of the dispute
- enforce the ruling
How the work proceeds
- Calculation. We calculate everything you are owed: unpaid salary, gratuity, leave pay, notice compensation.
- MOHRE. We file the complaint. The Ministry conducts mediation — a significant share of disputes are resolved here.
- Court. Where no agreement is reached, we take the case to the labour court. There is no court fee for the employee in labour claims.
- Enforcement. We enforce the ruling against the employer's accounts.
Documents required
- employment contract
- statements showing salary receipts
- dismissal notice
- correspondence with the employer
- copy of your visa and Emirates ID

Работу начинаем в день обращения. Если по вашей ситуации есть более быстрый или более дешёвый путь, мы скажем об этом до заключения договора.
Коротко о главном
No. An employer holding an employee's passport in the UAE is prohibited, and this is grounds for a complaint on its own.
For one to five years of service — 21 days' basic salary per year; beyond five years — 30 days per subsequent year. This is based on the basic salary, not the full package.
The work visa may be cancelled, but a grace status applies while the case is being reviewed. We deal with this question as a priority.
The employee is exempt from the court fee in labour claims.
