It’s also against UAE law to hold an employees passport yet I saw EK doing exactly that and flat out refuse to give back a Canadian passport to a leaving employee. They basically used it as blackmail for said individual to sign an amended EOS statement on his LDS which surprise surprise was worth a lot less after EK had done its “adjustments”. Its also UAE law for the company to pay for all visa related costs of the employee and family yet EK doesn’t do that either.
If if you believe EK wont do it your either naive or have been here to long.
