Q: What is the correct procedure for an employer to terminate an employee who holds an unlimited contract? How many warning letters? Max and Min time between these letters? The content of the warning/termination letter?

Q: Hi Sir, Please, can you help me understand the following below? I have been terminated from my company in Dubai. They had made me sign one letter on their Official Letterhead that they have terminated me and will be giving a grace period of one month. This was almost 1.5 months ago. After this now they have made me sign the Cancellation Letter for closing the Contract. They are telling me they will be paying my basic salary and not be paying HR, is that ok by Law? Also, they will be deducting the cost of the car and mobile SIM since the letter which they provided to me. Please, can you help me understand the Law of termination in Dubai, so that if in any part they wrong I could take legal action if required?

Q: Facing EOSB issues with one of our employees, we have the below issues: 1. The employee has not been paid since Jan 2020. The total dues are 52k AED. 2. The manager handling these affairs has left the UAE. Our owner and a few other employees are at the DAFZA office. 3. The manager was asked by the owner to terminate the said employee in 2019, but he did not do. Now, the employee is claiming his EOS. 4. The employee had approached DAFZA in the past week and there has been no resolution to date and the employee is threatening to approach the labor court. 5. Also, the business is NIL due to corona aftereffects and no revenue to pay off the dues. 6. Do we stand a chance in contesting the case based on no revenue? The manager has run away and did not terminate the employee even after being asked to do? 7. What will be the consequences for not paying the employee if the labor court orders came in the employee's favor? 8. Is it advisable to settle the dues by paying advance initially & later amounts within a period of say 1 year?

Issue: An employee resigned from the job after working for 5 years, and signs a letter addressed to the employer that he wants his gratuity to be paid only after his customer pays the employer. Therefore, has the employer defaulted for End of Service (EOS) payment under the UAE Labour Law?

An interview-format article covering the topic of employment in the UAE. This is from the legal podcast of lawyer Ludmila Yamalova, the founder of Lawgical with LYLAW.

The UAE has adopted a major reform in its legislative system that brought about 40 new laws and amendments to the company law, criminal law, personal status, among others. The amendments aim to develop the legislative structure in various sectors, the labor law being one of these, was the most recent. We try in this article to shed light on the changes introduced with the new labor law and their significance on both, the employer and employee.

The provisions of this Law, known as "UAE Labour Law", govern the relationship between employers and employees and other labour matters in the United Arab Emirates. There are special labour related regulations applicable in some of the free zones in the UAE.

This Decree sets the rules and conditions for the termination of fixed-term (limited) or unlimited (not term-bound) employment contract between employer and worker in the United Arab Emirates.

The provisions of this Decree-Law, known as "New UAE Labor Law", govern labour relations in the private sector of the United Arab Emirates. The New Labor Law repeals the previous UAE Labor Law (Federal Law No. (8) of 1980).
