What are my rights and obligations in case of resignation from a limited contract?

Dear Ma'am,

Good afternoon,

First of all, thank you for helping people by giving your expert advice, really appreciated.

My name is B. T., working with a private company in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi since Sep '20. I am having a limited contract for two years which is going to end on Sep. '22.

Now, I want to switch the company and am planning to resign from this company in the month of April ’22 (4-5 Months before contract completion) and I will serve 1 month's notice period as per the contract.

So I want your advice on the below matter (Considering the applicability of Labour Law).

Would I need to pay 45 days’ salary to the current company?

What is the eligibility of compensation (Like Gratuity / Leaves) plus any exit process formalities I should follow?

Thanks in advance for the support.
