استمرار العمل بعد انتهاء عقد العمل محدد المدة دون تجديده
لقد انتهي عقد عملي محدد المدة في 7 أبريل وما زلت أعمل وأحصل على راتبي، ومع ذلك، لم يخطرني صاحب العمل بعد بشأن تجديد العقد.
في حالة عدم تجديد عقد العمل، هل يحق لي الحصول على تعويض لعدم تلقي إشعار مسبق بعدم التجديد؟
Dear questioner,
As per the UAE labor law, article 39, the employment contract shall be deemed of an undetermined term since the establishment thereof is made in writing and concluded for a determined term and the parties continue to apply it after the expiry thereof without a written agreement between them.
As per article 40, if the parties pursue the application of the contract after the expiry of the original period thereof or the end of the agreed job without an explicit agreement, the original contract shall be deemed implicitly extended under the same conditions mentioned therein with the exception of the term.
So your employer can terminate the contract, but he should notify you 30 days before termination.
In the event that the restricted contract is not renewed, it is considered valid after the expiry with the same terms and changes to an unlimited contract. It is necessary to adhere to the terms of the previous contract if you want to leave work.
