What are the procedures to terminate an employee beside giving a 3 months' notice?

In the UAE, the Labor Law (Federal Law No. 33 of 2021) governs the employment relationship and outlines the grounds for termination of employment.

An employer can terminate an employee without cause, but they must still follow the proper procedure and provide the employee with notice or compensation in lieu of notice.

The above law has limited unfair dismissal cases to two specific scenarios:

- Dismissal due to lack of health fitness, only after exhausting all legally due leaves for the worker.

- Dismissal due to the worker filing a labor complaint against the employer.

The arbitrary termination will be claimed only if the termination has been done based on the reason that the employee filed a serious complaint in MOHRE.

Apart from that reason, you can mention poor performance, disobeying the rules, or any other reasons related to duty terms and redundancy as well.

But before that, you may send him a warning letter.

Dear questioner

You can either mention poor performance, violating laws and instructions, etc.

But you should serve a 15-day warning letter before issuing a notice of termination, otherwise, you can terminate the employee on the reason for redundancy.

If you need further clarification on the matter, please share your Whatsapp number.

The original reason of termination should be given for termination.

No need to write a reason. There is no arbitrary termination in the new law; I mean there is no compensation of three months' salary as it was in the old law.
