Abu Dhabi court orders employer to pay AED90,750 to worker dismissed without notice

What happened

The Labour Court of First Instance ruled the company must pay AED74,250 in unpaid wages plus AED16,500 for one month's notice. It rejected the employer's unpaid leave defence because the leave request lacked the employee's signature.
