العواقب المترتبة على الاستقالة عند العمل بموجب عقد محدد المدة

لقد استقلت بينما أعمل بموجب عقد محدد مدته ثلاث سنوات بعد قضاء سنتين وستة أشهر في الخدمة من سلطة واحة دبي للسيليكون في المنطقة الحرة. لقد قضيت بالفعل فترة إشعار مدتها شهر واحد. لم تقدم لي الشركة وثائق إنهاء الخدمة.

تواصلت معي إدارة الموارد البشرية وهددوني بضرورة دفع تعويض ضخم بدعوى أن الشركة خسرت أحد المشاريع لأنني تركت العمل (لقد تحققت من العميل وأخبرني أن هذه المعلومات غير صحيحة).

لقد تواصلت مع هيئة المنطقة الحرة وطلبت إحالة الأمر إلى المحكمة. لقد أبلغتهم بالفعل أنني قبلت دفع 45 يومًا من الراتب الأساسي بسبب خرق عقد العمل محدد المدة. لكنهم يقولون أنه في حالة عدم دفع المبلغ نقدًا، فإنهم سيرفعون قضية ضدي.

يرجى تقديم المشورة حول ما إذا كان اللجوء إلى محاكم دبي خيارًا صائبًا بالنسبة لي.

أيضًا، كم مرة يجب علي مراسلة الشركة عبر البريد الإلكتروني لسؤالهم عن إمكانية تمديد إقامتي بعد انتهاء فترة الإشعار ومطالبتهم بإرسال وثائق إنهاء الخدمة؟ (لا يريدون تقديم الوثائق ويطلبون مني مواصلة العمل بعد انتهاء فترة الإشعار).

IF THEY DONT CANCEL YOUR VISA, YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO APPROACH THE COURT. Sorry for the caps!

As long as you completed the notice period and are willing to pay the compensation, it should not be an issue. You are not liable for the loss if you leave the company.

Thanks a lot for the information!

For breaking the limited contract, I need to pay 45 days of basic salary or gross salary?

And any idea how much time normally court process will take to cancel the visa in order to join another company to survive in this country?

As per resolution no 765 of 2015:

Either party (employer or worker) acts unilaterally to terminate a renewed term contract, whether renewal has occurred before or after this decree enters into effect, provided the terminating party complies with the following legal steps:

a. Notify the other party in writing of its intent to terminate the contract in accordance with the notice period to be agreed to by the two parties, not to be less than one month and not to exceed three months. If renewal occurred before this decree enters into effect and the parties had not agreed to a notice period, this notice period shall be three months.

b. Continue to honor his/her contractual obligations for the duration of the notice period.

c. Indemnify the other party to the level that was agreed to by both parties, not to exceed the equivalent of three months of gross wages. If renewal occurred before this decree enters into effect and the parties had not agreed to the amount of indemnification, this indemnification shall be the equivalent of three months of gross wages.

5- Either party (employer or worker) acts unilaterally to terminate the contract without complying with the legal steps that are described in clause (4) of this article, and for no reason of non-compliance by the other party; in this case, the terminating party bears any legal consequences of early termination.

- 3 to 6 months - you can apply for a temporary work permit.
