For your matter in the UAE: Put overdue wages into the hands of a legal team. BaghdadiLaw brings salary, allowances and related entitlements into a clear claim for negotiation, settlement and litigation. Founded in 1957, our firm has handled more than 20,000 cases and legal consultations across its practice. Omar Al-Baghdadi leads the team with over 30 years of legal experience.
BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to wage claims, with practical knowledge of establishing agreed pay and work performed and reconciling entitlement with actual payment. For delayed salaries or withheld wages in the UAE, compare the agreed pay with the amount received for each period and identify the employer named in your contract. The employer's legal regime, payroll records and any disputed deductions determine how the shortfall should be presented.
A UAE wage claim within Law 33/2021 should identify the agreed wage, period, deductions and actual payments. Wage Protection System records can be important evidence but must be reconciled with the employment terms and bank receipts; the applicable employment regime must be confirmed. Confirm coverage first: DIFC and ADGM employment, domestic work and public employment have separate frameworks. Build a pay-period schedule showing the agreed amount, amount received and difference. Identify deductions and disputed wage components rather than relying only on the latest bank balance.
We agree the work your matter needs: Seek payroll correction where the discrepancy is an identifiable error. For admitted arrears, compare a documented repayment arrangement; disputed deductions or an unpaid balance need an evidence-led claim showing each period and component rather than one unexplained salary total. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A period-by-period wage reconciliation identifying unpaid sums, employer deductions and the records supporting the complaint or demand.

Service content updated:
List each pay period, agreed wage components, amounts received and outstanding balance. Explain deductions and disputed allowances separately. Bank records, payroll and the contract should support the figures rather than an unexplained total.
A payslip records a payroll calculation; compare it with the transfer, cash acknowledgement or WPS evidence. An issued payslip and an actual credited payment are not identical facts, particularly where deductions or failed transfers are disputed.
No. Identify whether it is basic wage, an allowance, earned variable remuneration or a discretionary benefit. The contract and actual entitlement conditions matter, and different components can have different roles in final-benefit calculations.
