ما هي فترة الإخطار وفقًا لقانون العمل الجديد في حالة الاستقالة أثناء فترة الاختبار؟

سيدي العزيز،

صباح الخير.

أتمنى أن تكون بخير.

سيدي، أنا أعمل في شركة وأنا غير راضٍ عن الوضع. أواجه المزيد من المشاكل. ولذلك قررت العودة إلى بلدي.

الآن أنا في فترة الاختبار. ولكن تبقى 8 أيام فقط من فترة الاختبار. فهل من الممكن الاستقالة مع قضاء فترة إشعار مدتها 14 يومًا؟

يرجى مساعدتي.

شكرًا لك مقدمًا.

Dear Questioner,

Please refer to the new labor law (Federal Decree-Law no. 33 of 2021), whereas Article 9 clause 4 states:

"If the foreign worker wishes to terminate the employment contract during the probationary period, to leave the State, he shall notify the employer of the same in writing not less than fourteen (14) days from the date specified for the termination of the contract.

If he wishes to return to the State and obtain a new work permit within (3) three months from the date of departure, the new employer shall pay the compensation stipulated in Clause (3) of this Article, unless in case of an agreement between the worker and the original employer to the contrary."

If you wish to terminate the contract after the probation period, then as per the Article 43 clause 1 :

"Either party to the employment contract may terminate th e contract for any legitimate reason, provided that the other party is notified in writing and work shall be performed during the notice period agreed upon in the contract, provided that such period is not less than (30) thirty days and not more than (90) ninety days."

Thanks Madam.

But, my doubt is I have only 8 days left in my probation period.

So is it possible to resign with 14 days notice period?

Or I can resign only when there is at least 14 remaining probation period?

Kindly reply

As per the law, if you submit resignation during the probation period, you need to serve 14 days from the date of the notice, but only if you wish to leave the UAE.

If you will submit resignation after the end of the probation, you will need to serve 30 - 90 days.

Thanks.

It means if I resign even 2 days before of the end of probation period, I want to serve only 14 days and can leave the UAE. Right Madam?

If you have only 8 days till the end of probation, we suggest you to submit the resignation now.

Regards

Yes, submit a warning of your unwillingness to continue the employment relationship to the employer
