Labour & Employment Disputes
Overview
An employment claim depends on the contract, actual pay, performance record, and termination reason rather than a short account of the dispute.
We prepare the MOHRE file and any court enforcement, or defend the employer through a consistent decision record.
In employment disputes, payroll and decision records outlast recollection.
What we cover
- Reconcile the contract, wage records and MoHRE file with the termination reason.
- Bring or defend the ministry complaint before referral.
- Calculate unpaid pay, leave, notice and gratuity from provable records.
- Follow the claim and execution before the competent Abu Dhabi labour court.

MoHRE then court

Recover the award or defend the employer until the Abu Dhabi dispute closes.
Frequently asked questions
How is compensation for unfair dismissal calculated?
Compensation is assessed under labour law, the contract, length of service, wage, termination reason and evidence. There is no single figure for every case; it may include notice, entitlements and damages for unlawful termination depending on the facts. We review the contract, payslips and termination letter before any defensible estimate.
Can a labour-court judgment be appealed?
Yes, within statutory time limits and procedure where legal grounds exist — such as an error in applying the law, calculating entitlements, or weighing evidence. We assess the judgment, its reasons and the file, and proceed with an appeal when a clear basis exists.
What are an employee’s rights when a contract ends early?
They depend on the contract type, the reason for termination and who initiated it. Rights may include unpaid wages, notice pay, end-of-service and other statutory or contractual entitlements — subject to lawful deductions. We map rights after reviewing the contract, termination reason and documents, without promising a figure in advance.
Can labour disputes be settled out of court?
Yes — often through MoHRE mediation/settlement or a clear enforceable written agreement, before or during litigation. Settlement can save time and cost if rights are preserved; we compare any offer to the client’s interest before signing a clearance or release.
