Resignation after 15 days of work in limited employment contracts
I have just joined a company with a limited contract. I signed an MOL, but haven’t done the medical tests.
I am currently working and it’s been 15 days. Can I resign during this period or not?
What might be the problem that I could face? Will there be any ban?
Dear Questioner,
Monetary compensation is payable by the employee for resigning before the end of the limited employment contract. Article (116) of the Labour Law provides that:
"The employee becomes liable for compensating the employer against losses incurred by him in consequence of contract termination, provided that the amount of compensation, may not exceed half a month's pay for a period of three months or for the remaining period of contract whichever is shorter, unless the terms of the contract provide otherwise."
Kindly note that the employer is not eligible for any costs incurred in regards to your employment visa.
Good Luck!
