Q: I am working in (Company A), I recently signed a MOL job offer letter from a company (Company B) in Dubai, however, I have since been offered another job which I wish to accept from Company C. Is it possible for me to withdraw from the original offer letter from Company B and sign with Company C? Note: I am still on employment visa from Company A. Does this affect the employee withdrawing from the offer? Will I still be able to accept the offer of Company C? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Q: Dear Sir, I accepted a job offer letter (Only organization offer letter) and sent it by email, but now I don't want to leave my present company. I informed them today (future company) but they replied me... Quote: "DEAR FAIZ, You gave us a word to join our company in date of 30th SEP and this considered as legal contract as it called WORD SAY CONTRACT. We are disappointed as we reject a lot of candidates because of our commitments with you. I do not know what to say but I am assigning my legal department for the same. Thanks" Can they take legal action against me?

Q: Hi Mr Hari, I have confusion over my decision after accepting one job offer from a company in Abu Dhabi. I accepted it and signed the initial offer letter on 14th Sept. Then I resigned and currently serving the notice period. At the same time, now after working unofficially with a new company (A) for few days, I came to know that the new company (A) is not matching my profile and the project I am hired for is delayed. I have a company (B) offering a job and wants to discuss the offer and joining date, company (B) is better for me. I went through all the T&Cs mentioned and signed a contract. It is mentioned that "Unlimited Period: Either party may terminate the contract by giving a 30-day written notice to the other". I am still serving the notice period and I want to apologize and turn down the offer from the company (A). Is it ethical? Is it possible to make such a decision as I am sure I am not going to enjoy my work in the company (A)? Can the company (A) make any legal problem for me? Kindly advise. Regards, D.

Q: Hello madam, Good afternoon! Currently, I am working and living in Ras al Khaimah, in an interior cleaning company under 2 years contract. I started working under this company on October 9th 2019. I was on a visit visa at that time and the same date was on the offer letter given to me by the company. They delayed applying for my work visa and the labour card. They applied for my work visa and labour card on 6th January 2020 and now they are saying that I have to work as per my labour card which is expiring on Jan 5, 2022. But as per my offer letter, my 2 years contract has already finished. Please advise me what I can do. Do I have to work as per my labour card or should I stop working as I have another job but my company is still not giving me cancellation?

With the introduction of the new procedures for obtaining a power of attorney (POA) remotely in the UAE, after it was mandatory to appear in person in front of the notary public as a global rule to ensure the identity and intention of the person requesting a POA, we put between your hands this brief guide for how you get it done.

The UAE has adopted a major reform in its legislative system that brought about 40 new laws and amendments to the company law, criminal law, personal status, among others. The amendments aim to develop the legislative structure in various sectors, the labor law being one of these, was the most recent. We try in this article to shed light on the changes introduced with the new labor law and their significance on both, the employer and employee.

The UAE government introduced the new Unemployment Insurance Law under the Federal Decree-Law No. 13 of 2022 Concerning the Unemployment Insurance Scheme for Unemployed People. The law aims at providing a sort of financial support in case of unemployment for a brief period, probably to help employees who got terminated find another job and avoid failing in other financial obligations.

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).
