YET Another HAPPY NEWS For Filipinos! NEW LAW For PINOY EXPATS In UAE!

Labour Complaint:
A worker will have his or her salary suspended if he or she is detained after a complaint is filed by the employer but, once investigation is completed or a final ruling is issued acquitting the worker, the wage of the entire period has to be paid. However, if the worker is incriminated, the worker will forfeit his remuneration for that period.

If a complaint is filed against the worker by a third party and the worker is acquitted, that party will have to pay the remuneration of the worker during the detention.

Penalties for Violators: Violators of the law will receive tough penalties including prison terms and hefty fines.

A worker who fails to keep in confidence secrets of his employer even after the term of employment shall receive a prison term of up to six months, a fine of up to 100,000 AED or both.

Those who encourage a domestic worker to quit his job or offer shelter to him or her or stop law enforcement officers from doing their jobs shall receive the same penalty and the court may also order deportation after the prison term is served.

Placement agencies which break the law shall be punished with a fine of up to 100,000 AED and recurrence of the offence will see the fine multiply.

An employer who asks a domestic worker to do a job that is not within the scope of duties indicated to perform in the contract shall receive a fine of up to 10000 AED which will also be applicable to the worker and the employer who fail to report the employee’s absence from work to the police within 48 hours.
