What can I do if my company terminated me without warning while I'm on probation?

Hello dear questioner,

According to the provisions of the UAE Labor Law, the employer must warn the worker to terminate the employment contract within 30 days unless the contract stipulates otherwise, and he does not have the right to withhold your salary.

You must submit a complaint to the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation for further clarification.

Dear Inquirer,

I completely understand your concern and the challenging situation you are facing.

According to Article 9.1 of the UAE Labor Law, your employer is entitled to designate you under a probationary period of up to six months from the commencement of work.

During this period, the employer has the authority to terminate your employment, but they are obligated to notify you in writing at least fourteen days before the specified date of termination.

If your employer did not provide you with written notice with the required notice period and still terminated you, there may be a violation of labor law.

In this case, it would be advisable to seek legal advice to understand your rights and available options.

I recommend that you reach out to me via the provided email addresses (------------) to discuss your situation in more detail and explore how to proceed appropriately.

I am at your disposal to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

Sincerely,

Dear Questioner,

According to Article 43 of the Labor Law, either party to the contract may terminate the employment contract “for any legitimate reason,” provided that:

- Warn the other party in writing.

- Continue implementing the contract during the warning period, which must not be less than one month and not exceed three months.

- The party that did not adhere to the warning period must pay the other party compensation called “warning allowance.”

The warning allowance is calculated according to the employee’s last wage.

Dear Questioner,

At the outset, please inform us of the agreed duration of experience between you and the employer.

Regardless, please note that the employer shall terminate the employee's employment during this period after providing written notice to the employee.

A minimum of fourteen days' notice should be given for termination.

If either party terminates the employment contract without considering the provisions of this article, they are obligated to compensate the other party with an amount equal to the worker's remuneration for the notice period or the remaining duration thereof.

Please do not hesitate to contact us via phone [------------] or email.
