Is it possible to move from a Free Zone company to an LLC company, or from the Sharjah Free Zone to a company in Dubai? How may I avoid the ban? If someone gets a ban, how can it be listed? To the best of my knowledge, Free Zones do not impose ban in such cases.
I have worked with a foreign consulate in Dubai as a local recruit for three years. Could there be a deduction in my severance pay since I do not have any labour contract?Since you are under the sponsorship of a foreign consulate in Dubai, and do not have any labour contract, you will not come under the UAE Labour Laws.I have a cheque dated May 10, 2009, which was issued by my partner in my name.

Is there any way to get the money back as the cheque date is more than six months from the date issue?A cheque must be presented for payment within six months from the date of the cheque.

According to my offer letter, there is no paid leave, no end of service benefits, and no air tickets, apart from a penalty of Dh5,000 upon non-completion of two years in service. A friend of mine told me there are no such regulations in JAFZA. Also my boss got the trust notice of Dh5,000 on a blank paper from me for his safety purpose. If I left the company without completing two years, do I have to pay this amount or can I approach the JAFZA authority to get back my leave salary and other benefits?JAFZA has its own rules and regulations. You may file a complaint with JAFZA and see if an amicable settlement can be reached. If no settlement is reached, you may approach the Dubai Court.Suppose a person is on a limited contract for three years, the three-year period is over and he does not want to renew his contract because he wishes to join another company.
