Filing a complaint against a company after withdrawing a job offer

I signed an offer letter and a copy of a contract in a company located in Dubai Design District.

I resigned from my current company located in Jebel Ali and will be ending my noticed period on April 4, 2021.

Now the new company is really unclear about when I can start joining them. If the company does not pursue my hiring, but I have already resigned and lost my job, are there any legal complaints and claims I can file?

Dear Arjay,

Generally, since you have signed the employment contract as well, I would say that you can file a complaint.

Depending on the employment contract provision, especially the starting date of your employment, withdrawing the offer could qualify in employment termination.

To provide you with a clear answer, I must study all your employment paperwork from the new company.

Should you require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me via email.
