Mutual Termination vs Resignation
Is it possible to request a mutual termination of the contract from the employer?
My employer recently asked me to submit a resignation. Since it's not legal for him to do this and since I don't mind leaving the company for better opportunities, is it legal for me to request a mutual termination of contract letter?
What are the important things that should be stated in the letter?
Dear Sir/ Madam,
Thank you for reaching out to me on this.
I believe that the employer wants you to resign because if he terminates you, then he will be liable for wrongful termination.
Further, if you are on a limited contract and tender resignation, you may potentially lose your gratuity payment.
It is wise that you and the employer enter into a mutual termination contract and this contract should enlist all your labour entitlements with figures.
You must clearly show that after signing the contract, you will be getting AED X amount from the employer without raising further disputes.
The letter must also state that this is a full and final settlement between parties and no party shall commence labour proceedings to claim further.
I trust you will find this helpful.

Dear questioner,
Definitely, we can help you in this case.
As long as the contract is mutually prepared while keeping each other's interest, there is no problem. These are important points to mention:
1. Each other's obligations.
2. Protecting each other interests.
3. Showing the amount you will get after signing this agreement.
Kindly contact us via phone or email for a detailed discussion.
