Can the employer refuse my offer to pay compensation instead of serving notice upon resignation?
Hi there.
I have resigned in March. My last day is June 12th. When I finish I will have completed 11 months.
I have offered compensation in lieu of notice. My company has rejected it.
Is this legal for them to reject?
Secondly - as said the last day is June 12th. My employer told me today they will not pay me my May salary in May.
Instead, they will hold it and pay in my settlement in June. Is this legal?
I work in a free zone but their employment rights they have said are as per MOHRE.
According to Article 43 of the Labor Law, either party to the contract may terminate the employment contract “for any legitimate reason,” provided that they 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.”
Warning allowance is calculated according to the employee's last salary
Hello,
You have the right to resign by serving the notice period as per your contract or offering compensation in lieu. Review your contract to see if it's mentioned any specific clause.
It is illegal to hold your salary. Employment rights in the free zone are as per their particular free zone labor regulation.

The company must transfer the salary within 15 days from the due date. For that he holds it.
