Recently I have discovered I have many friends who have not been paid for two three or more months.
Personally I have not been paid for two months. What about you ?
Before we get all the vote with your feet or equivalent comments from the high and mighty, let me say that it's not as easy as that !
Walk and you will get nothing, stay and there's a possibility, albeit remote, you may, just get paid.
Our boss has stated he is above the law and anyone found reporting the company for non payment will be banned from ever working in the UAE forever.
( Would one want to if there was an alternative? )
Yes, I do know about the law in the UAE. Yes, I know about the salaries protection scheme, etc etc etc but they are enforced the same way the traffic laws are enforced - if the car that went past doing 180 kph has a low number or three digit number plate, possible repercussions prevent us enforcing the law , so nothing happens. Also the scale of salary abuse is so enormous, there are insufficient resources to follow up even a small percentage of complaints.
A small survey may be of value, so when were you paid last ?
