Dubai Forums Dubai Expat Forums Dubai Expat Help Forum Dubai Visa

Hi people I have followed this forum for quite some time now and i feel that people are really helpful.
I would like to get some suggestions as I am very new to dubai.
I came to dubai on 2nd november. I am still in my probation period. the thing is that my company has first of all no fixed working timings. they make us work from 8.30am - 7-8 pm. so this is first question. Is it legal? secondly, my bosses started torturing us from the very first month. In fact they sound threatening every time they talk. They are creating so much pressure that it is hard to tolerate. I have started falling sick quite often now which is resulting into absenteeism, I am having depressions and i have to see a psychiatric. I cannot resign because then they ask for 4000 AED. In short i feel they are creating an environment wherein i will be compelled to resign on my own. I wish to leave the job, as i cannot take this much pressure , in fact i am having sleepless nights and so many things.please tell me what to do. they are asking me to get a Medical fitness Certificate that states i am fit. I have no clue what is happening out here. Please some one come to my rescue. and suggest me something.....

Regards.

Dear frnd,

Almost same condition also happens in my life.Me too came here on nov 2nd.I was offered a job by a private company in Dubai that is not in a free zone with a salary of 2500 DHS per month including food,accommodation & transportation. I have been here for almost 2 months,my probation is six months.I hold a Master's degree in finance and two years experience.They took my visa not in my profession,before i came i asked to them why you took that trade to me.They told me that,its easy to get employment visa.
So currently i am loosing my profession.I want to know can I resign from the company.
They are asking visa cost and other expenses that are spend by them for me.I signed my contract because of my superior's pressure.I am first time in dubai.I don't know legal procedures in dubai.
Is there any provision in law say,pay the visa expenses?I know i will get ban,if i resigned before 2 years contract period.Suggest me a better solution to resign from this company.

Questions
1. To resign from company,employee have to pay visa expenses or any expenses?
2. My sign in contract will leads to any legal actions?
3. Time takes for cancellation of visa?

Hope you will reply soon.Waiting for your reply.
