س: لقد وجدت وظيفة في أبراج جميرا قبل شهر، وحصلت الآن على عرض أفضل من شركة في البر الرئيسي، وأريد قبول عرضهم. مدة عقدي سنتان وأنا الآن في فترة الاختبار ولكن العقد بنص بوضوح على أنه يمكن للطرفين إنهاء العقد بفترة إخطار. لذلك لست متأكدًا مما إذا كان العقد محدد المدة أم غير محدد المدة. لم أبلغ صاحب العمل بعد. كيف ستبدو الإجراءات؟ هل سيتم فرض حرمان علي؟ هل يجب علي دفع رسوم؟

Q: Hi. If I have already worked for 3 months but I am not happy and always stressed from how my employer treats me and wish to resign from work, will I get a ban? Also from the offer letter I signed I have to pay AED 7000 if I did not finish my contract, is this legal?

Q: Good day, My situation is that I submitted my resignation last October 5 effectivity same day, in hard copy. I also emailed it to my manager and sent it on WhatsApp to my boss and manager. They saw my resignation in WhatsApp but my manager doesn't accept my hard copy because he said that he doesn’t want to have problems. So, I messaged my boss through WhatsApp and he doesn't seem to care about it. They told me that I have to pay the visa cost before they give me my passport. I talked to the Labor Department and they said I should only pay my employer 45 days of my salary, and I am willing to pay the 45-day salary for resignation but my boss is asking to for the visa cost also. He said he knows his rights and I must pay more than just the 45 days salary. Please help me, I don't know what to do. I need to get back urgently to the Philippines.

The provisions of this Law, known as "UAE Labour Law", govern the relationship between employers and employees and other labour matters in the United Arab Emirates. There are special labour related regulations applicable in some of the free zones in the UAE.

According to this Decree, tentative approval to admit a foreign worker for the purpose of employment in the UAE cannot be granted until an Employment Offer that conforms with the Standard Employment Contract is duly signed by the employee and presented to the Ministry of Labour.

The provisions of this Decree-Law, known as "New UAE Labor Law", govern labour relations in the private sector of the United Arab Emirates. The New Labor Law repeals the previous UAE Labor Law (Federal Law No. (8) of 1980).
