Q: I am working in a company in Abu Dhabi on an unlimited contract (Joined on 19/06/2019). Now I want to resign from the company. Should I follow my old contract (old UAE labor law) or the new contract (new labor law)?

Q: I want to know about the labor ban. Previously, I was working with a private company with a Sharjah visa for 2 years. Now I have joined a new private company with a Dubai visa. I'm on 6 month probation period which is going to end after a week. As I don't feel comfortable working in the current company and I have better offers from other companies, I would like to know If I resign will I get a labor ban? I am still in the probation period. I don't have a graduation certificate attested and my current visa is unlimited. Thank you!

Q: Hello, I am working for a company in Al Hamriyah Freezone for the last 7 years. I have a pending 13-month salary, gratuity, and leave salary. My contract is going to expire within 4 months. And I have an offer to join another company within 1 month. The current company is saying excuses that they will not be able to pay that much amount. Also, I would like to join another company. How could I recover the pending dues from the company even after canceling the visa?

Q: Dear sir/madam, My employee has resigned from a limited contract and not serving the notice period. Your reply is very contradictory to my question as compared to your reply to someone else. Thanks for contacting me online. If an employee terminates the limited contract before the expiry date, he is not eligible for any benefits like gratuity, leave salary, and ticket. Instead, the employee has to pay 45 days' salary as compensation to the employer if the employer makes a claim for it.

Q: Salam Everyone! I need some information. Actually, I am in Al Ain City and I have an employment visa of 2 years duration. At the same time, I also have an Omani visa with a duration of 2 years. But now, I am working in Al Ain. I want to go to Oman, so my question is can I go to Oman on my Omani visa? Is it still valid as I have a UAE employment visa now? My Omani visa will expire on April 22 as I will be out of Oman for six months. Please give me suggestions as soon as possible.

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.
