Can I resign as a domestic helper and find a new employer without leaving the UAE?

Greetings,

Yes, you can resign and find another job. The employer is not allowed to force the worker to work more than 8 hours according to UAE labor laws, except for additional work, with an agreed-upon additional wage and the worker's consent.

You can also file a complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation. We are honored to provide you with legal support.

Yes, you can. However, if you resign during the probation period, you will have to pay compensation as well.

Dear Questioner,

Yes, you can resign from your current job as a domestic helper and find a new employer in Dubai. Check your employment contract to understand the required notice period. Typically, it's between 1-2 weeks.

Write a clear and concise resignation letter stating your reason for leaving and the effective date of your resignation.

Obtain a clearance certificate from your current employer, which is necessary to transfer your visa sponsorship to a new employer.

If you need further clarification, you may ask.

It is generally possible for domestic helpers to resign and seek new employment without exiting the country under certain circumstances.

It requires careful consideration of contractual obligations, local labor laws, visa regulations, and open communication with employers.
