End of Service/Gratuity - stupid question, but would appreciate any feedback
Just to give you a quick rundown - was terminated/made redundant just before Eid, which made finding another job a little difficult, as I lost 10 days due to the holiday - good news, I found a new job and these are my questions:
I don't want the police banging down my door because of my stupid old company? I am getting really angry with old company and now feel I've lost my last good card (visa).
Any thoughts or advice would be really appreciated.
Ta
- Old company cancelled my visa last week - however, are still refusing to handover end of service benefits until I get my new employment visa - is this allowed?
- I haven't paid my loans or credit cards in two months due to the redundancy, and while the banks are being pretty nice about it - I am getting very nervous. Does anyone know how long it will take them to start legal proceedings against me?

End of service should be paid when the visa is cancelled. The fact that you have found another employment is not a factor - it would be the case if the visa was being transfered, but yours has already been cancelled.
I did have to leave the UAE before I could get a new visa though.

This is not quite true.

On the visa bit, did you mean do a quick flit in and out of the country, or did you have to leave for a specified time - is nationality a factor.
Cheers mate, and thanks to busybee2 as well

I was under that impression - am going to seek a lawyers council on this one, as after more than seven weeks, and potential threat from the banks, I think I have grounds.

Yeah, unfortunately worked for shady quasi governmental effort based in a freezone so didn't have a labour card, now working for legit organisation in Dubai - tried the transfer route, but that didn't work - UAE labour law is shite and needs radical overhaul - until they do, serious business will continue to stay away or not invest as much as they could - bumfuzzled.

I was encouraged to cancel - that way I got my "repatriation" costs paid out.
