Can I request the reduction of notice period in case of resignation?

Hi Sir/Madam,

I work for a private firm in Dubai and now I got an opportunity and I want to resign.

As the new job is outside the country, I am requesting my company for 2 weeks' notice and I agree to pay compensation.

But the department head is forcing me for a 1-month notice. I need your expertise advice on this, please.

Hi,

Regarding your inquiry, you must give the notice period as per your labor contract.

If the company does not agree on 2 weeks, then you have to follow your contract and law.
