س: ما يقلقني هو: أنا أعمل بعقد غير محدد المدة منذ 5 أشهر وأريد الاستقالة الآن. في عقدي، مكتوب أنه لا توجد فترة إشعار، كما أنه غير مكتوب أن أدفع أي تأشيرة لهم خلال فترة الاختبار. هل هناك أي احتمال أن تحصل شركتي على تعويض مني؟

Q: Hello, I’m working in a private LLC in Sharjah. I completed 6 months in my organization. Now I need to resign from my job due to personal reasons and I need to go back to my country. I’m ready to serve a notice period. What if my employer asks for money as compensation for breaking the contract? Please advise. Thanks

Q: I am on a limited contract for 2 years, with an Abu Dhabi visa. I have already completed 6 months of probation. If I resign now, should I pay anything to the employer? If yes, then will this amount be based on the basic salary or full salary? Are the visa expenses borne by the employer? Regards, AKS.

Q: I worked for a company and due to the lack of work-life balance affecting my mental and physical health, I submitted my resignation according to the contract I signed. The contract stipulated a two-month notice period during my probation as I joined this company on 05 Dec 2023. I submitted my resignation on March 20 stating my last working day as May 20 But the company released me on April 16. However, for the month of March, I did not receive my salary. Now the company is asking me to sign the visa cancellation letter In this letter there is a clause stating "I certify that I have received all my dues up to date - Employee signature" but I have not received my salary. I also explicitly asked them whether they would deduct any amount for the visas as some people have told me that some companies do such things even when nothing is mentioned in the contract. They replied to that email stating they would provide dues but did not mention any specific date. Please advise me on how to proceed.

Q: Can I join another company during my probation period? And what difficulties will I face during that transfer process?
