Is there any way to join a new employer without serving the notice period?

Dear sir/madam,

I am working as a specialist doctor in a private hospital in Sharjah. I have got an offer from a government hospital in MOH.

The notice period mentioned in my current labor contract is 3 months.

Is there any exclusion to the notice period or will I have to serve the entire three months?

Dear questioner,

The notice period is a must, however, you can negotiate with them for reducing the said period or leave the hospital and pay the said period from your salary in case they asked to pay the same.
