Can employer force me to work after contract ends if the visa is still valid?

Dear Questioner,

Good day!

Please be informed that as per Art. 42 (2) of the current labor law, the employment contract shall be terminated upon the expiry of the date specified in the labor contract, not in Emirates ID.

The validity of the employer-employee relationship is determined by the employment contract.

Accordingly, you may demand the settlement of outstanding payment upon the expiry on 22 August 2023 and the employer shall proceed with the cancellation of the visa, further to such settlement.

For further assistance, kindly contact:

Dear Questioner,

It is up to you. No one can force you if you want to leave.

You may serve a written notice.

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.

Certainly, if your labor contract expires on August 22 and you've given a notice of non-renewal, you might have the right to stop working after your notice period ends.

The expiration date on your Emirates ID could be due to administrative processes.

If your boss threatens you, contact MOHRE.

We will definitely be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards,

Dear Questioner,

Since your labor contract expires, you do not need to continue working there.

You can leave.
