3 months' unpaid salary in Dubai, clean exit, no ban…

3 months' unpaid salary in Dubai, clean exit, no ban, already in a new job. Worth chasing through MOHRE or just move on?
Doctor in Dubai, looking for people who've actually been through the MOHRE process before I file.
Worked at a clinic on a registered labour contract, guaranteed salary plus commission. Salary hit my account through WPS every month. Then, from November 2025 they just stopped my guaranteed salary, claiming "unsatisfactory performance," backed by zero evidence. No salary for three months straight.
And before they cut my salary, they never amended my original labour contract, and they never asked for my consent to change it either. The "new performance-based structure" just arrived as an email, which I never replied to or agreed to, yet they started paying my commission under it anyway, right up until I left. So they effectively moved me onto terms I never accepted. On paper, my original labour contract still stands.
Visa already cancelled by them (their request, no ban), and I'm already in a new job. Clean exit. I just want what I'm owed.
For anyone who's done this:
* Did you file and actually get paid? How long did it really take?
* Is it genuinely safe, or does it quietly bite you later (blacklist, new employer hearing about it)?
* Does the mediation actually settle, or does everyone get dragged to court anyway? I don't want court or lawyers.
* Anything you wish you'd known before filing?
I've got the bank statements, WPS records and contract all lined up. I just want to know whether I should pursue this without any future headaches.
**TL;DR:** Clinic killed my WPS fixed salary for 3 months but kept paying my commission on time, never amended my original labour contract, and switched me to a new structure via an email I never agreed to. No ban, already in a new job. Filing MOHRE soon, want to hear from people who've been through it. Safe? How long? Worth it?
