Seeing as we're cut and pasting we might as well have the whole article on pensions vs gratuity.

The law specifies repatriation flight and like you say it doesn't stipulate that it has to be direct or on a specific airline. I have no issues with this concept.

Basically I had a family contract (strictly speaking there is no such thing, but I call it that as I was entitled to benefits for me plus family in the contract) with annual flight for family, but I had by mistake not seen that the repatriation was explicitly mentioned only for me (and not my family). As per the labour law the repatriation should follow a like for like principle, ie if the company paid for my family to come here they also need to pay for them to leave. However I forfeited this right by the explicit mention of my flight only being covered in the contract.

I am not going to be drawn into a row, especially from an offensive hypocrite, but there is masses of incorrect info on this thread. You can get around EOSB and also regular commissions are included in EOSB calculations. I know I'm right, as confirmed from MoL, but I have no need to have a hissy fit and be rude to other people who disagree.

Some people's attitude is really tiresome and the false claims and accusations are ludicrous. I have never claimed to be a lawyer, so to accuse me of that is fatuous, but that doesn't mean I don't know a lot about UAE Labour Law.

I'm out of here as I have far better things to do than be insulted by some internet twat. (And don't think that means you can libel me in my absence either.) Shame, as so many BE posters seek my advice - which they get freely - on a range of matters, without me approaching them.

Put him on ignore! there are plenty of posters on this forum who value your opinions and advice.

Meow has been really helpful with advice to me personally and has been in the country a hell of a lot longer than most folk here...apart from Jim Smith who I think was born here

There's no need to try and discredit someone polite and helpful to new and old folk on here when all you are is arrogant, rude and a know-it-all

Are you Rage quitting?!

Blue Cat

she aint quitting, but I can understand how she feels no need for personal insults.

Dude. I know you probably think you are doing people a favour, but really all they see is someone obsessed with discrediting another poster who is generally acknowledged as knowing what she is talking about (and who is careful not to claim being something she is not).

In short you are the one who ends up looking like a tool..

That advice was free.

Blue Cat

then don't post on this forum then

and she didn't have a hissy fit as he puts it, she has just decided to walk away for a while, who can blame her? Over the years Meow has helped many people on this bored in the real world, getting people out of jail, sorting banking issues, she has a heart of gold and doesn't deserve to be spoken to or have her professionalism questioned. I wonder if the twat in Doha has a column in a local newspaper offering consumer advice?

Dubaiguy didn't mention hissy fits did he? I believe that was Meow who said that. (happy to be proved wrong on that one)

Also he didnt get particularly personal on this occasion. He's been very clear in everything he has said. There is an argument between two people on here they both believe they are right about this point of law. One is probably more qualified on the law side the other has an awful lot of experience. I have no idea who is right but on this occasion they both believed they needed to make their own "correct" view clear because it may affect someone else's financial benefit.

I don't see this needs anyone leaping to meow's defence particularly if they are inventing parts of the discussion.

Also declaring he should stop posting here because he disagrees with one other posters opinion is a bit cliquey isn't it?

How about we leave these two experts to it unless we have a relevant question for them to answer?

Is being called a twat not a personal attack?

Theseus

So which part of me saying leave them to it was a personal attack?
