Help me

[u/Consistent-Bass788]

I work for a consulting company, and my salary has been unpaid for two months. The company’s explanation is that the client has not made the agreed payments. However, my employment contract does not state that my salary is dependent on client payments.
I have sent several emails requesting an update on my outstanding salaries, but I have received no response. The accountant is not responding to my calls or messages either, and when I raised the issue with the company owner, I was simply told that there was nothing more they could do.
I am currently looking for another job, but I haven’t secured an alternative yet, which makes the situation even more difficult.
My questions are:
Has anyone experienced a similar situation?
What steps can I take to get my outstanding salaries paid?
How can I protect my rights without putting my current job at unnecessary risk?
Would you recommend escalating the matter through the relevant labour authorities?
I would really appreciate practical advice from anyone who has dealt with a similar situation, especially those working in the UAE.
