I stopped going to work for some days but my supervisor called me on phone and was like staying in my room won't help situation and nobody will help me,I have been going to different office,but like they are not ready to help

plus will i get ban from immigration too OR JUST labour ban?and do u think the ban can affect me if i want to go to other country apart from UAE?

we are 3 nigerians,they were like they will endure till december before quitting,everybody is complaining,but i can't wait,i have my business in nigeria,i want to go back,they always ginger me,but the these arabs act like cultist,lol,they connect so easily and tend to favour their selves

justi4jesu: Filing a complaint with labour is a long thing. Too much processes that you have to wait and go through it could even take months to be resolved.

You best bet is Police and you will get your passport as long as "YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO NIGERIA" so even if your employer likes he should ban you for 1year you no send am. And even if he bans you for 1 or 2years sef you can still get a job with a freezone company which automatically waives your ban from the labour company.

Are you the only Nigerian there. Maybe nobody to ginger you thats why you dey fear

eazylion01: @justi,do u think i can file a complain at the ministry of labour?i am going insane here more daily

and i have been working for 5 months,i can't continue again,even if i am to pay half of my salary for 3 months,i will,but the 3kaed is too much,besides they didn't fulfil all what they promised,i complained about the accomodation before going for exit and they promised to renovate before i come back,but its the same thing..

I have been studying the labour law too,i read that part,but my offer letter didn't state such about quitting before the contract ends,i signed 2 years limited contract

frostmate: I found this article through Google. Have a look at your contract what does it say about if you quit.


I am on a limited two-year contract and I have worked for one year and eight months. I have now resigned, giving 30 days' notice, but my employer has not paid me for January and has told me that I have to stay for three months. What are my rights? SK, Abu Dhabi

Article 116 of UAE Labour Law states: "If the contract has been terminated on part of the employee … the employee becomes liable for compensating the employer against losses incurred by him in consequence of contract termination, provided that the amount of compensation, may not exceed half a month's pay for a period of three months or for the remaining period of contract whichever is shorter, unless the terms of the contract provide otherwise." In this situation, this means SK must forfeit pay equivalent to one and a half months on leaving, as he has broken the terms of his contract. He is not obliged to stay for three months.

its labour zone in Ajman,first the accommodation is nothing to write home about,no atom of respect for the labours,i know one have to start from small here,even Indians,Bangledesh,paskitani,working in this same company are complaining,most working for 5 to 10 years still have their basic salary within range of 700 to 1000 Aed,they make us work non stop everyday and salary is not stable,the CEO pay whenever he wish,i was just informed that he just paid for last month salary today,last two months we were paid on the 28th of the following month,they don't care about their junior staff welfare,its so sad and my supervisor even threatned that anybody that doesn't come tomorrow should not bother coming to duty again,he is an Egytian,any slight mistake they threatened with "salary cutting"..

Hello house,
Pls i am in a dilemma,i need advice from experience Nigerians here in UAE,i am working in a private company owned by arab,but they have been making me work like Hebrew slave,i started working since february,i told them i want to quit since beginning of this month but they told me to pay for their visa,which is 3k dirhams,my basic wage is 1200 Aed,no how i can get that kind of money,they even make us(labour)work 9hours and again today my supervisor is forcing us to come work tomorrow which everybody know to be off here in UAE,for 6 hours,i am tired of working like a slave with no freedom,i am thinking of going to ministry of labour,but i someone told me its rare before a man can win complain at the ministry of labour,i even meet with the general manager that i have an emergency in my home country,he told me i should find some people that will sign for me that i will come back to resume my duty and if i don't come back the people will pay for my visa,pls i am a bit naive about UAE labour law,i need help.
Pls help a depressed brother out of this mess.........Dubai is not a rosy place,forget all what u hear about dubai,if u don't have a foreign certificate,they treat most blacks like slave,most jobs are hard,intending Nigerians that want to leave nigeria to come here for greener pasture should have enough money or secure job before leaving..Just my 2cent. I am patiently waiting for advice from this forum.
Thanks in advance
