An employer insists to serve 53 days after termination. What should the employee do?
Dear sir/madam,
I am currently employed in Tecom Area, Dubai. My employer tendered me a notice of termination for my employment contract within the 6 months probation period.
The employer told me I need to work 53 days more after the termination notice is served. Do I have the right to insist to have my visa canceled if I find a new job after 14 days from my termination notice?
How do I resolve my issue if my employer will not cancel my visa and insisted I should finish the 53 days period he provided?
Dear questioner,
You are in the 1st six months and you have been terminated by the employer, right?
The new law says only 15 days to be served as a notice period once you are terminated or resigned, if in the probation period.
Please contact me via phone or email for further assistance.
Hello dear,
As per the labor law, the employer doesn't have the right to let you work the notice period if they terminate you within the probation period.
We can send him a legal notice to cancel your visa.
The service charge for that is 2000 AED.
Kindly contact me via phone or email for further assistance.
Nothing in the law forces you to serve one day more than your notice period.
If the employer did not finish your exit process within 14 days from your last working day, you can complain against him to the FZ authority you follow.
And if the company is mainland, you can register a complaint with Al-Adeed.
