"Restaurant owner in Dubai slashes staff's salary by forging labour contracts," 28 Jul 2020
A businessman has gone on trial after he allegedly forged updated copies of two labour contracts and faked signatures of two employees...
[One] staff supervisor at the restaurant, said: "... In January 2020, the owner told me that he would reduce my salary to Dh3,000 because of poor earnings... [then] The owner had changed the amount without my approval after I last signed it online. I did not sign on the updated copy that had Dh1,000 as a salary. "...
an administrative manager, said... "[A Dh14,000 salary] had been agreed on in my labour contract... In January, this year, I asked the new owner to cancel my contract and give me my entire dues but to no avail."
his salary was decreased to Dh1,000 in a new contract when he visited a Tasheel branch. "... the new contract had my e-signature even though I did not agree or sign it," the manager said.
