س: سأكون ممتنًا حقًا إذا تمكن أي شخص من تقديم المشورة القانونية. ما زلت في فترة الاختبار، منذ شهر واحد على وجه الدقة وستنتهي تأشيرة الدخول في 28 أكتوبر… ج: يحق لأي من الطرفين إنهاء عقد العمل في فترة الاختبار. إذا كان العقد غير محدد المدة، سيتعين عليك منح صاحب العمل فترة الإشعار القانونية…

Dear Questioner, Either party can end an employment contract in the probation period. If the contract is unlimited you will have to give the employer the proper notice period agreed in the contract or the offer letter. No compensation to be paid. If the contract is limited you will have to also give the employer the proper notice period agreed in the contract or the offer letter. Compensation will have to be paid also to the employer. It is not advised to leave the country without informing your employer even if they did not process your visa yet. Good Luck.

Is it possible to resign on probation and return to home country?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, Is it possible to resign on probation and return to home country? I came here to join a company on November 1, 2022, and I got my Emirates ID on February 2, 2023. Now I want to resign because I am unable to adjust to the company's work culture and unprofessional behavior. I am planning to go back to my home country, Bangladesh. I want to know how long I can stay after canceling the visa and if there is any obligation that could be created by my employer. As I bear my all costs by myself coming over to Dubai, they only provide the company's visa cost. Thank you!

Do I need to serve the three months notice mentioned in contract if I resign during probation?

Q: Hi, I just wanna ask if I can resign in 14 days even if the notice period in my contract is 3 months. I am still under probation period on a limited contract and I have decided to go back to my home country. With termination, will I still have to pay my employer if they would terminate me? Can employers refuse to accept these terms with MOHRE that I don't have to pay anything? Do they have the right to file a case and claim all their rights through the court? How about the terms and conditions imposed and made in the contract?

How to get the security deposit from landlord after finishing all proceedings?

The landlord has not returned my security deposit worth AED 5000. I filed a case and have judicial announcements that the landlord should return deposit+expenses. But still no response. The landlord is out of the UAE and his property is handled by the agent. Not sure how to get my money back while I followed all procedures, even filed an execution case but no response. While I keep paying to follow up on the case, the property is rented out to the next tenant and earning money. I feel like this system is created like this on purpose.

Winding down an LLC company and the liability of the manager after absconding

Hi there Michael, I am a 24% shareholder in an LLC wherein the other shareholders are our local partner with 51% shares and the partner who is listed as manager on the trade license with 25% shares. The manager has absconded leaving behind unpaid VAT and other debts that are well over 30 days due (up to a year). No proceedings by creditors have been filed against the company and the MOA contains a general POA in favor of the Manager. I would like to wind down the company without going through bankruptcy procedures. My understanding is that the listed manager of an LLC is personally liable for the Company's debts. I need advice about the procedures required to wind down the company. I do not wish to go through bankruptcy procedures as the finances and management of the company were being handled by the manager. I am just the creative director of the LLC. Please advise as soon as possible.
