Resignation because the available job is different from the one on the contract
Dear sir,
I am working in an LLC company based in the mainland of Dubai with a limited-term contract. I have completed 1 year of my service with this company.
My company is dealing with fire and safety system maintenance. I have received the offer from the company for the position of an electrical technician for fire and safety systems.
As per my MOL contract and visa, my profession is an electrical technician, but, unfortunately, my company doesn't have any jobs related to the electrical system. I have been doing some other jobs like cleaning of fire extinguisher and loading/unloading jobs for the last year.
Now I would like to resign from this company due to some physical illnesses, but my company is asking for visa costs to cancel my visa.
What is the compensation I have to pay to the company?
How can I resign legally without a ban from this company?
In limited-term contracts, if you want to leave work without any valid reasons, then the amount of compensation is equal to three months' salary paid to the company.
But if the breach is on the part of the company, for example; making you working another job, you must file a complaint in the ministry of labor and prove that the company breached the contract.
The company will be notified of the complaint submitted by you. If the company did not modify the job status according to the signed contract, you have the right to resign and the company will not be able to request any compensation from you.
