Article 182
Enforcement of fine rulings shall not be stayed. A fine applicable to an employer for an offence shall be multiplied by the number of workers against whom the offence was committed, provided that the total amount of fine shall not exceed three times the maximum limit of the prescribed fine. This Article shall be applicable to violations committed against the following provisions and their respective executive regulations and orders:

Article 184
Without prejudice to Articles 34, 41 and 126, penal proceedings shall be initiated against the manager in charge of the firm; it may also be initiated against the firm owner if there is reason to believe that he was aware of the facts constituting the offence.
Article 185
If the employer fails to fulfill his obligations under this Law, the labour department concerned may issue an order specifying the violation committed and instructing the employer to remedy it within a specific period starting from the date of employer’s notification. If the violation is not remedied within the specified period, the said department shall carry out the required remedial work at the employer's expense and recover such expenses by way of attachment.
Article 186

I'm not happy with my work. I was directly hired from the Philippines. When I resign, I will ban. As of now, I am experiencing internal turmoil, emotional distress, and I'm about to lose my perpectives in life. How can I work if my boss is my problem? She never appreciated my achievements ever since. She always kept on shouting us everytime we did small mistakes which is simple and adjustable...Pls help us... Thanks |

this is a follow up to my recent mail. I know Dubai has new regulations on visitors on visit visa and acquiring work permit. I know they have to go back to the point of entry before working. Can someone manipulate the papers that my husband was able to acquire the papers for a short time only. Please enlighten me on this matters. Thank you
