3 متاح 3 • عرض الجميعOffer letter: 30-day notice period, MOL contract: 90 days. Which one is valid?



4
Q: Hi,
I recently accepted a job offer from a company in Dubai. According to the offer letter, the notice period is 30 days. However, upon joining, I was asked to sign the MOL contract, where the notice period is mentioned as 90 days.
I don't want to sign the offer with a 90-day notice period. I checked with the employer, and they mentioned that this change happened recently.
Kindly advise on the following: Which offer letter is valid in this scenario?
Should I consider filing a legal action against the employer for changing the employment contract terms without informing me?

What is last workday with differing notice periods in employer's and MOHRE contract?

1
Q: Hi,
I need advice on the termination of my contract and notice period. I'm in the first year of my second fixed-term contract with my employer (a school) and was terminated on March 21st due to restructuring.
My employer's contract states that I must give one term's notice, so they want my last working day to be July 5th.
However, my MOHRE contract states that "the terminating party shall notify the other party of such desire 3 months as a prior notice before the determined date of termination, such period shall be similar for both."
My employer argues that because we had a two-week spring holiday followed by a one-week Eid holiday, my notice period does not include the holidays.
Can you please advise on what my last working day should be? Additionally, what is the correct end date of the notice period, and how can I get my employer to agree?

س: السادة الكرام،
صباح الخير، أتمنى أن تكونوا بخير!
عثرت على موقع legaladvice.com أثناء تصفحي للإنترنت. أعمل في شركة منذ أكثر من 11 عامًا. أبلغني رئيسي المباشر مؤخرًا أن عقدي لن يُجدّد للعام الدراسي 2023-2024.
سأعمل في المدرسة حتى نهاية العام الدراسي الحالي، 2022-2023. هل هذا صحيح؟
من المقرر أن تنتهي صلاحية تأشيرتي في يناير 2024. هل أحتاج إلى تقديم خطاب استقالة؟ ماذا سيحدث لمكافأة نهاية الخدمة الخاصة بي؟
هل سأحصل على أجر عن الأشهر المتبقية قبل انتهاء صلاحية تأشيرتي؟
سأكون ممتنًا للغاية إذا قدمتم توضيحًا ومساعدة بشأن مخاوفي.

My rent cheque was bounced, and my landlord filed a case against me in Sharjah Court. I received a fine of 2,000 AED, which was later reduced to 1,000 AED upon appeal.

I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency and it was canceled two days before Eid. What to do? 0
I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency two weeks before Eid. The travel agency confirmed the booking on payment.
One day before Eid, the agency reached out, saying they had an issue with the supplier/hotel and the booking would be cancelled.
They offered alternative hotels that didn’t match the original property. I suggested some properties, and they couldn’t arrange them, or they asked for further payment, so I didn’t book anything through them.
What are my rights to a refund and compensation, as I had to book other arrangements separately at a significantly higher cost due to the last-minute prices?
It also caused significant emotional distress, less than 24 hours before the holiday. To which authority can a complaint be made in case of an unsatisfactory outcome?
Both the agency and the hotel are in Dubai.

Do smart police stations in Dubai override official filing hours for legal deadlines? 0
Dear Lawyers,
The case needs to be filed during official working hours, on a subsequent working day (if the last day falls on an official holiday), in Dubai.
With Smart Police Stations operating 24/7, how are these situations considered?
Should the case be filed during working hours, say before 3 PM, etc.?
