There was a time i pick up the phone & yelled 'Wassup?' lucky it was only our receptionist in the office. lol

JojoHK

JojoHK

Thanks for all the advise. I went to carrefour b4 but they onli sell some basic asian food like soy sauces... Today i went to DragonMart & found 2 Chinese grocery stores. Bought a few things & some instant noodles. Seen lot of chinese there, so happy im not alone here. I'd like to try Arabic...

JojoHK

i agreed. Long distance is very hard to keep & never work for me. Should move on, there is plenty of gals in Dubai.

cheers,

drive to desert in the middle of night

why do you want to be a player? is that because you have been played?

JojoHK

I dun think that they are cheap...its a job for them anyway. Someone demand, then someone supply, simply as that.

Do you think a toilet cleaner is cheap? As long as they do their job well, then we should respect them. Otherwise, we will be in deep shit lol

Dr. D...I think you should wake up from your dream..

Currently my company is doing a 20% pay cut and asked all the employees to sign an agreement. I did not sign it but when I get paid, they only paid out 80% of my salary, is this legal? If I make a complaint to the ministry of labour, what is the chance to win the case? I heard that the MOL is more p...

I want to make a complaint at Ministry of Labour, anyone knows how? Can I do it online or I have to attend at MOL?

JojoHK

There is possibly a loophole that you could use. If your contract includes amounts for accommodation and transport (as well as a basic salary), then get the company to cut back on these items. For example if the company wanted you to take a 10% drop in salary and your contract was laid out as follo...

JojoHK

I agree, it sucks. But, try and see if you can get the company to deduct the 20% from your "perks" and not your basic. At the end of the day they are still saving 20% (current), the economy is sure to be more stable when your contract is finally worked out and you may then get the full am...

JojoHK

correct me of I'm wrong - Since the MOL will have a copy of your contract, they will go as per what is mentioned on that copy. Dont you have a copy of what was submitted by your company to the MOL? Any revised contract docs have to go the MOL. so the same applies to your revised salary. I don't thi...

JojoHK

oops JHK, then it looks difficult. If you HAVE refused to sign the agreement of the pay cut - thats probably the only thing you can fall back on - but then again - they probably havent got you to sign anything during a raise either. dbxsoul, looks like there ARE loopholes - but against us! Also - n...

its much better on a limited contract, and you will get 3 months notice if you get laid off

JojoHK

Here is another example: Example: Unlimited contract Basic salary of 10,000 per month Worked for 4 years = 10,000/30 days * 21 days = 7,000 per year worked = 7,000 * 4 years = 28,000 = 28,000 * 2/3 = 18,666 In this case 15% of a full years salary as a "bonus" QUESTION: 1.BASIC SALARY- Is ...

Just an update to everyone, I have lodged a complaint a Ministry of Labour, and will go to the hearing on 3rd March.

Will let you guys know the outcome, wish me luck!

P.S. My manager made me go on paid leave bcoz i work in HR, in case i lost the case, I still get 2 weeks free holiday.

JojoHK

An update to everyone... Today I went to MOL to see the legal advisor with my company representative. The legal advisor said that it is illegal to have pay cut if the employee does not accept such arrangement, the company have no right to do so. We have 1 week to resolve the problem between us, if w...

JojoHK

agreed, sorry, but there is not much you can do about it :( although i do see some merit to the calim. firstly the PRO would have to admit to having accepted money for processing of a visa application, which by law is illegal - the company would aslo be to blame as irrispective of whether it was &q...

I am looking for a beads shop in dubai. I know there is one in jumeirah called Bead palace, but its very pricey. and a couple in dragon mart.

Does anyone know any other beads shop in dubai?

JojoHK

This is what I found on another forum: Otherwise you can pick up Czech fire-polished in strands of 50-100 for 10-15Dhs in Bur Dubai behind the gold souk- just make sure you are getting those and not the japanese dipped beads, because they run when wet, or sprayed with perfume. The area is called th...
