Q: 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?

View allAnnual 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!

Can a notice of rent increase be sent by email or it needs to be through a notary public? 0
Hi,
In relation to the lease renewal - as a landlord - I had sent a notice for the increase of rent by email (noted in the contract) which is consistent with the RERA prescribed increase, clearly referencing the renewal clauses in the contract (ahead of 90 days).
That email serves as a notice specifying the lease amount in the event of renewal - the subject property is in Dubai.
My understanding is that email communication is valid and takes away the need for a notarized notice.
Appreciate your view, please.
Thank you!
