Resignation before signing employment contract and claiming passport

I came to the UAE with my own efforts. But on my arrival, the agent has given me to a labour recruitment company at Ajman.

The employer held my passport and now am being maltreated. I want to quit this job because l haven't signed any contract with them.

How do l go by resignation and release my passport?

You can register an urgent lawsuit to oblige him to submit your passport.

But as for your resignation, as long as you have not signed an employment contract, there is no problem with that. You can leave work.
