用人单位拒不退还签证费用

迪拜中文网

迪拜读者问： 我需要一些有关我签证的建议。我是一家餐厅的服务员，合同有效日期到今年。我们自己付了3500dhs 的签证费，雇主说合同结束后会退还给我们的，就像银行保证金一样。然而当我们去要的时候，他们说除非续签合同，否则我们就拿不到保证金。问题是我们没有任何相关收据，我们该怎么办呢?

提倡者兼法律顾问 Mohammad Ebrahim Al Shaiba 答： 事实上，提问者从进入公司起，不需要付任何费用和签证费用，她也不需要付银行保证金。如果她没有任何证据来证明她有付钱给公司，就只有在法庭上要求一名证人，可以证明她确实有付钱给公司。Employer is refusing to refund visa fees

A reader in Dubai asks: I want to ask some advice regarding my visa. I work as a waitress in a restaurant. My contract expires this year. We have paid almost Dh3,500 for our visas. Our employer told us we would get the money back after we finish our contracts, and it is like a bank guarantee, but when we asked about the money they said they would not give it unless we renewed our contracts. The problem is that we do not have any receipts, what shall we do? 8 ?+ L5 B/ D3 ?" e" @ NActually, the questioner should not have paid any such amount or visa expenses from the start of her employment with the company, neither should she have paid any payment in the way of a bank guarantee, if the questioner does not have any proof of payment to the company, then she may prove that before a competent court by calling for witnesses who can confirm that the questioner has really paid such an amount to the company.

阿联酋沙迦：劳动纠纷时，雇主有义务为员工更新工作签证

阿联酋沙迦酋长国外事处工作人员今天强调，当员工与所在公司发生劳务纠纷时，公司有义务在此纠纷处理期间为员工更新工作签证，直至员工合法转让工作签证到其他公司或者是待其正常取消工作签证，离开阿联酋。同时呼吁私人公司应将这种行为视为一种社会及道德责任。

公司也有义务劝告其在职员工不要利用业余时间从事非法劳动，例如洗车或者是组织非法买卖行为。
在阿联酋，越来越多的公司不采取主动与员工沟通教育的方式，而是直接中止其劳动或者取消其工作签证，导致越来越多的人“黑”在这里。
