We would like to inform you that referring to the UAE labor law that provided a legal protection for wages in the text of Article (56):
 Workers who are hired at an annual or monthly wage are paid at least once a month and all other workers are paid at least once every two weeks.
** Therefore, failure to pay wages on the specified dates by law is considered a legal offense with which a complaint shall be filed at the work and workers department attached to it the bank statement to show that the salary has not been received and then claim it through this authority. In the event that the complaint is proven, you may leave work according to the text of Article (121):
 The worker may leave work without warning in one of the following two cases:
A- If the employer violates his obligations before the worker in the articles stipulated in the contract or the law.
B- If the employer or his representative legally assaults the worker.
 
*** With the worker retaining all his rights and end-of-service indemnity, the worker may grant permission to change the work authority without the need for non objection from the sponsor, and it is also possible to submit an electronic complaint by entering this link:Electronic labor complaint registration

i think my previous employer based to the below;In furtherance, it is presumed that the employer (the sponsor) and the employee are subject to the provisions of Ministerial Resolution No. (52) of 1989 on the rules and procedures to be adopted at the work permits sections with respect to the recruitment of non-national employees for the employment in UAE (the 'Ministerial Resolution No. 52 of 1989') and Ministerial Resolution No. (721) of 2006 on Escape Reports Procedures (the 'Ministerial Resolution No. 721 of 2006').Pursuant to your query, note that an employee whose resident visa has been revoked or has expired must leave the UAE. This is in accordance with Article 19 of the Federal Residency Law, which states:"Foreigners who have obtained residence licence shall be subject to the provisions of Article (11) herein. They must leave the country upon the revocation of their residence permit or the expiration of its term."It may be further noted that that an employer is under an obligation to repatriate an employee from where the employee was recruited at the end of the employee's employment contract. This is in accordance with Article 6 (d) of Ministerial Resolution No. 52 of 1989, which states:"An undertaking from the employer to the effect that he shall send back the recruited employee to the country where he was recruited upon the completion of this job and upon the cancellation of his sponsorship and the handing back of the employee card provided same shall be valid."Therefore, in the event the employee's employment contract is terminated, the employer is under an obligation to ensure that the terminated employee is repatriated to his home country. However, if the employee refuses to be repatriated to his home country by absconding and the employer fails to lodge a complaint against the employee for absconding, the employer may be penalised if the employee is found overstaying in the UAE despite the termination of his employment contract and the cancellation of his residence visa. This is in accordance with Article 34 (1) of the Federal Residency Law, which states:"A fine of Dh50,000 shall be imposed on anyone who has used or accommodated a foreigner in violation of the provisions of this law. The penalty shall be imprisonment and a fine of Dh50,000 in case of return to the same act."Therefore, in pursuance of the aforementioned provisions, the employer is liable to report an absconding employee by lodging a complaint against the employee. Further, the lodging of the complaint may result in an escape report being issued against the employee. This is in accordance with Article 1 of Ministerial Resolution No. 721 of 2006, which states:"An escape report is applied on the case of the employee who has stopped working for more than seven consecutive days if the employer pledged that he does not know his whereabouts or has a legitimate reason for his absence in accordance with the provisions of this Ministerial Resolution."It may be noted that an employer has the right to lodge an escape report against a terminated employee who refuses to be repatriated to his home country. The employer may lodge a complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiritsation (Mohre). Thereafter, based on the instructions issued by the Mohre, the employer may submit the escape report issued by the Mohre to the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in the emirate wherein the employee's residence visa was issued.Know the lawAn escape report is applied on the case of the employee who has stopped working for more than seven consecutive days if the employer pledged that he does not know his whereabouts or has a legitimate reason for his absence

My dear, it is clear from your inquiry what has been mentioned in all cases. It is not permissible to keep the salary owed to you. The complaint can be submitted to the labor office to obtain it as was clarified in our previous answers to you. With thirty days to amend the residency status without imposing fines, the residency status can be settled and this does not mean that the sponsor’s authority is absolute to cancel the visa. And forbidding you to stay in the country as long as there are no violations by you, so the complaint may include the intransigence of the employer, and in turn, the one who gives you permission to stay without the condition of non-objection from the sponsor to change the employer Thank you
