"Employment of Juveniles under UAE Labor Law"

Question
Dear Lawyer, how can rights of Juvenile employees be protected under UAE Labor Law?
Answer
Dear Questionnaire,
Most of the times the people ask about child labor in UAE and what are the labor rights of Juvenile or young people . Like other rights provided by the UAE Labor Law, juveniles’ rights to work are also stated in the act. Section 2 of Chapter II, Employment of Employees, Juveniles and Women, describes the provision of rights to juveniles.

No juvenile of either s*x under the age of fifteen can be employed. It is prohibited under Article 20. Under Article 21, the employer is obligated to obtain the following documents and make a personal file for the juvenile before employing him/her:
● An official birth certificate of the juvenile or an age estimation certificate that must be issued by a competent medical professional and endorsed by competent Health Authorities.
● A certificate that states that the juvenile is medically fit for the job and it must be issued and attested by a competent medical professional.
● Consent in writing by the guardian or custodian of the juvenile.
The employer must have a special register in which the details of the juvenile are written under Article 22. In Article 23, it is stated that no juvenile may be employed for work from 8 pm to 6 am in industrial projects. Furthermore, no juvenile may be employed in jobs that have a nature of being dangerous, exhausting or detrimental to health under Article 24.
Article 25 states that the maximum working hours for juveniles are six hours per day, with rest, meal or prayer breaks. Therefore, the job timing must be designed to allow juveniles to consecutively for a maximum of four hours a day. The employers cannot, in any circumstances, instruct juveniles to work overtime under Article 26.

DISCLAIMER: The above blog aims to guide and legally aware the Juveniles employees working in UAE about their rights and should not be considered a legal opinion that may vary from case to case. If you need further legal assistance, please feel free to contact our law firm in UAE.

A link between missing payments for credit card loan etc and the legal action by banks in UAE 🇦🇪

Q- Dear lawyer ,
I secured a personel loan and a credit card from one the bank in UAE . I used to pay my initial monthly loan installments regularly but could not sustain it after that . After how many missing payments , the bank can initiate legal action against me and can I be arrested while landing at air port ?

Ans : Dear Questioner ,
This is a very general question being asked by many people . As you know at the time of securing a personel loan or a credit card the bank usually take security Cheque and once someone defaults after bouncing back of the Cheque from the bank normally due to insufficient funds the bank refer this matter to their own collection department or outsource the same and they call several times to the debtor to pay the balance amount .

If no succes , the matter is referred to the legal department of the bank , which send a legal notice from the public notary asking the debtor to pay money and then subsequently the matter is referred to the police station and they call the debtor to pay some fine that depends upon the volume of the loan amount . The bank may also file a civil case against the debtor.

Normally after 3 missing payments, the bank initiates legal action against the defaulters. If the bank file ex*****on process against the debtor in court , he may also be arrested at air port and advised to settle the matter with bank .
