Q: My concern is: I'm working on an unlimited contract and I'm 5 months now on my work and I want to resign now. On my contract, it's written there is no notice period and it isn't written to pay any visa from them under the probation period. Is there any possibility that my company can get compensation from me?

Q: 1. Is it allowed to resign within two months while an employee is on 6 months probation period? 2. If an employee resigns, would he/she be responsible for all expenses related to visa and medical insurance?

Q: I signed a limited contract and it states that I may work under probation of six months. If I resign, will I get a labor ban and be required to compensate my employer?

Q: Hi Ma'am, I'm D. S. from Ajman. I Joined an LLC Ajman in Sept. 2021. As per the contract, the working hours in this company were 8-6 PM. My job responsibility was electrical design & production engineer. But when I came here & worked, I realized that as per the contract, I am not doing my job responsibility. I was working 8-8 PM without any extra charges. So, I decided to switch jobs. I told my boss that I can't work like that and I resigned in Feb. 2022. But till now, he didn't cancel my visa and I am not able to join a new company. One more thing, they didn't give any salary since January. As per my new offer letter, I need to join ASAP but they're not canceling my Visa. Please help me. What can I do in this situation? They are threatening me that they'll ban my visa.

Q: I am on a probationary period for 6 months and I would like to change the company. I have a 3 months notice period too. Can I leave the organization asap?

Q: I've resigned from my job during my probation and I've given my company a 15 days notice based on the following clause: "This contract may be terminated prior to the expiry of the Probation, by either Party on 14 (minimum 14 calendar days’ notice) and without reason. Should the Employee wish to serve notice to terminate the Contract during the Probation in order to join another company in the UAE, the Employee will give the Employer at least a 30 calendar days written notice. The Employee shall not be entitled to any end-of-service gratuity payment if termination takes place during Probation." My company approved and we've signed a settlement with neither party owing anything to the other and my visa has been canceled. I still haven't taken on a job, but I wanted to know that should I take a job after this, and during my grace period, is it a must that I contact my previous employer. Seeing as I would very much not want to involve my previous employer with these details.

Q: Are the medical insurance, visa cancellation, and workmen's compensation part of the recruitment cost to be billed to a new employer for employees hired within the probation period?

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 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).

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.
