What to do in case the employer is not accepting your resignation?

My employer here in Abu Dhabi is not accepting my resignation. I am serving them for more than 2 years and this is my second (renewed) limited contract.

I told them that I am willing to take the notice period and pay for whatever I need to.

Dear questioner,

You must pursue your employer to accept your resignation and obtain a document stating they accept your resignation.

If such an attempt fails, you may seek the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation support.

You will register a complaint with the Ministry, and if still your employer does not accept and acknowledge your resignation, then you shall file a complaint against the employer with the competent court in Abu Dhabi.

I highly recommend you consult with a legal professional before taking further steps to ensure your action's success.

Should you require assistance, you may reach out to me at my email.
