Amount owed to the employee can be deducted from his severance pay.
I recruited a Nepalese as a cleaner on a contract of unlimited duration. I spent Dh4,500 in November 2017 to get him a two-wheeler driving licence. The employee now wants to resign from employment and join another company. Can I recover the driving licence money?
It is accepted that you gave an advance/loan to your representative to obtain a driving licence and such an advance is recorded among you and your worker. On the off chance that such is the situation, you may recoup this cash once again from your worker. This is as per Article 135 of the Federal Law No. 8 of 1980 managing Employment Relations in the UAE. It expresses, "A business may deduct any sums owed to him by a representative from the last's severance pay."
Know the law
An employer may recover a documented loan back from the employee. Amount owed to the employee can be deducted from his severance pay.
