Consequences of resignation with notice period in limited contracts
Hello,
I am working in a security company based in Abu Dhabi as a Security Guard since Jan 17, 2020. I have spent the last 3 months here but the company has just paid us a few expenses and the job has not started yet. I paid around 16k AED for this visa.
I have a 3 years visa (with limited employment contract) and Emirates ID. I don't have any labor card.
1. Is it a free zone company? how do I know?
2. I want to resign with notice period, is there any ban on me when quitting this job, or would I change my visa to any other free zone or any state of the UAE?
Your suggestion and advice will be highly appreciated and helpful to me.
Thanks!
Dear questioner,
Further to your aforementioned inquires, please check our below comments as follows:
1- You can check with the economic department in Abu Dhabi.
2- Because your contract is a limited contract, you will be entitled to pay 45 days' salary as compensation to the employer because you terminate the contract.
If you have a strong reason for termination, you will never be entitled to pay and the employer will be obliged to compensate you with three months of the total salary.
For any further inquiries, please feel free to contact us via phone or email.
Thanks!
Dear questioner,
1- Mostly it is not a Freezone company, you can check the website of the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce.
2- If you terminated the contract and get a ban, you still can join any Freezone company in the UAE. You have to pay 45 days' salary as well.
