Q: Hello, I am planning to resign from my job because I can no longer take the pressure I am getting every day. I am only 4 months into the company. It is a limited contract. This is what bothers me: in the contract I signed, it says that I have to pay the training cost of 5000 AED if I resign before 1 year. - Will I pay that amount if I resign during probation or even after 6 months? - If I resign after 6 months, will I still have to pay the full amount or half? Can someone help me with my questions, please?

س: سيدي/سيدتي، أنا في فترة الاختبار. لقد مرت 4 أشهر وأريد الاستقالة من وظيفتي الحالية والعودة إلى بلدي، لكن عقدي ينص على أنه إذا تركت قبل عام، فسأضطر إلى رد تكلفة التدريب التي تبلغ 6000 درهم إماراتي؛ أي ما يقرب من 4 أضعاف إجمالي راتبي. هذه الوظيفة تؤثر على صحتي العقلية وأريد المغادرة في أقرب وقت ممكن. لم يكن هناك أي تدريب أو دورة تدريبية محددة عرضتها علي الشركة.

س: عقد العمل مدته سنتان. إذا رغب الموظف في إلغاء التأشيرة، فما هي تكلفة الغرامة المترتبة على فسخ العقد؟

Q: Salam, I resigned from my company but after the notice period was complete, they didn't cancel my visa and filed a complaint claiming training fees. I didn't get any training from the company. I also filed a labor card cancelation but it was kept on hold due to their pending training claim. Later, MOHRE gave a final decision and rejected their claim. But I still haven't received an update on my labor card cancelation appeal. Now, the company has appealed in court against MOHRE's decision on training. 1. What would be the next step in the Labor Judicial Court and normally how many days does the court take to give a final decision? Can they change the decision? 2. What will happen to my visa cancelation now, can MOHRE still cancel my labor card since a decision has been made or will it be delayed due to a court appeal by the company? I want my visa cancelation asap. What should I do?

Q: Hello, My old employer does not cancel my work visa on my last day of work. Can I get someone like MOHRE to make them cancel it immediately, or can MOHRE cancel it for me?

Q: Hello, How many days do I need to wait for company cancellation following resignation and one-month notice?
