Q: Background: I was employed by XXXXXXXXX (a company in Dubai Internet City Free Zone) from 09-Feb-2014 to 31-July-2019. However, in July 2019, I was informed that XXXXXXX is moving to a new Free Zone (DMCC).

I was not given any notice period or any compensation for it thereof citing the reason I am on probation. 2.

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.

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).
