Q: The possible way to cancel my visa. Hi Sir/Ma'am, I was terminated from my company on the accusation of theft. My company said that they have a CCTV footage which they did not present during the committee meeting on 03 Jan. There was no money or goods retrieved from me by my company security. They only have my reports. The committee meeting which was supposed to investigate was held 2 weeks after. On Feb. 03, I received a complaint from MOHRE, so I went there with the PRO to settle things. I signed a paper without informing me what's written in it and no translator was provided. They talked Arabic language only. I checked with labour the status of a complaint but it was closed. My company kept me suspended until the 10th of March and handed me the termination letter, which states that I am terminated from the 03rd of Jan. What are my chances on this? I am so confused right now and I really need help. It's been 4 months until now I'm still waiting for their decision.

Q: My employee has not reported to work for more than 7 days now. Can I terminate his limited contract under Article 120 of the UAE Labor Law? He claims not to report to work until next month and is also claiming the end of service benefits which become null and void under Article 120 (clause j). Can I send a termination letter?

Q: Hello! My private LLC company terminated my limited contract with them effective immediately (without any notice at all) last Wednesday, December 2, 2020, under the grounds that I have violated section E of Article 120. Actually, they fired more or less than 13 people and most of us were about to finish our contracts January-April next year. As for me, my contract will end in February. The thing is, our employer told us all that no one of us will receive our gratuity because of their allegation that we violated section E of Article 120. The termination letters that they gave us have the heading of "Termination Notice" but on the body of the letter, it was written that our contracts with them were terminated on that day that we received them effective immediately. Also, the name of the HR manager was not signed and they just wrote the first name and the first capital letter of the surname like "John D." Please advise on how we should proceed. We would truly appreciate it. Thank you!

The UAE has mainly the 3 sectors which have their employment laws, like the laws of companies under MOHRE (governed by Federal Law no. (8) of 1980 Labour Law, Domestic works govern under Federal Law no. (10) of 2017 On Domestic Workers and Free Zone companies governed by their specific employment laws.

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.
