Employer asking to pay recruitment fees after 5 months of work: Is this legal?

Does it mean I need to pay the recruitment fees?

If you are staying in the UAE to work elsewhere, you have to pay for the school, or your new employer will pay.

Even if I will render the notice period?

Yes. Resigning before the probationary period ends is different from resigning after the probationary period.

If they will ask for compensation, it should be HR to HR right?

Yes. If you have a new job.

Is it legal that they are asking me to pay the recruitment cost even if I will render the notice period?

Hello Sir,

It is not mentioned in the contract that if I resign I will pay for the recruitment fee. But unfortunately, they are asking for that.

Then you are free to leave.

You can submit a complaint to the Ministry of Labor over the phone or the website.

Hi Sir,

I have a new offer. Is it right that they will ask me to pay for recruitment costs?

If they will ask for compensation, it should be HR to HR, right?

If you have joined within three months of cancelation, your new employer should pay the recruitment charges.
