1
Q: Hi sir/madam,
Recently, I joined a company as a digital marketing executive. Now it is 1 month over and my visa is in process & my status changed to e-visa. I am in a limited contract and have a 6 month probation period.
But now I don't want to continue here because I am getting different works. It is not based on my carrier and my position. So I would like to resign from this company. Based on my offer letter, there is a 3-month notice.
Is it necessary to put 3 months' notice? Or is it possible to resign without notice?
My visa is not stamped yet and my medical is not over. Do I get any labor ban?
Please help me with this issue?

Q: Dear Sir,
Good Morning.
Hope you're doing well.
Sir, I'm working in a company and I'm really not satisfied. I'm facing more problems. Therefore, I decided to go back to my country.
Now I'm in probation period. But only 8 days left of the probation period. So, is it possible to resign with 14 days of notice period?
Kindly help me.
Thanks in advance.

The effect of a labor case against the old employer on the new job

1
Q: Hi,
I started my job with my company on January 23, 2022. I worked at Expo 2020. After Expo 2020 got finished, they called me to their office on 5th April and terminated my contract.
They gave me 14 days notice period which means 19th April was the last date of my job. But those days they didn't give me any job. Although I got my calculation paper, I made a labor complaint about my 14 days notice period salary that they refused to give me.
I have already talked to my legal advisor and the case will be in court within 14 days.
But right now, I have already started another job. The visa status is changed from cancelation to a new employment visa. I have already completed my Tawjeeh and soon will get a visa stamp.
So my question is: now my case will be in court, does it affect my current company to make my visa processing?
I need a consultation because if it affects my current company visa process, I will think twice to register my case in court.
Thank you, everyone!

View allThe maximum notice period employers can put in the contract as per the new labor law 0
Our internal contract has a notice period of 3 months from both parties. In the new labor implementation, only one month's notice is required for less than 5 years of service.
Please advise if we can follow our internal contract since the position is very curtailed and the organization will not be able to replace the position within one month.

Annual leave salary calculation as per the new labor law 0
Dear sir/madam,
Annual leave salary calculation as per the new labor law.
Can you please clarify the correct annual leave salary rules?
Some say it is basic + HRA for the month you will take off, others say it is full salary, and somewhere I read it is basic + HRA (annual leave salary) plus the normal salary you get.
Can you please clarify?
Thanks for your valuable time and kind assistance!
