Dear Questioner,

As per the new labor law in effect from February 2022, in case you resign within the probation or/and without serving the notice period, you or your new employer need to pay the compensation.

Please refer to the new labor law (federal decree law no. 33 of 2021).

I am already serving my notice period. In fact, I'm about the finish on the 15th of July.

How can I tell them that I don't need to pay any compensation?

How can I get my gratuity also, end-of-service pay, and pending vacation pay?

If you follow the labor agreement and they still pursue it, you may register your complaint with MOL.

Regards
