Q: I have been working in a hospital for 5 months when I submitted my resignation. I am a laboratory professional but my visa is archive clerk. My contract states I (may) work under 6 months probation period and states that the notice period is 3 months when either party terminates the contract. My question is I am still in the probation period, does this notice still applies? I tried to compensate for my remaining notice but they said they are currently not accepting it because there is no applicant but they are not posting their vacancy. Is there anything I can do to lessen my notice period? Thank you.

Q: I am working as a trainee for an LLC company in Dubai since May 13, 2018, but I received my appointment letter as sales coordinator on June 2, 2018. I got my company visa only in Aug 2018. Until August, I was working on my visit visa, since the company asked me to do so. Now, I am under 6 months probation period. My job designation on the visa is Sales Executive even though I was appointed as Sales Coordinator. I want to quit my job desperately since I am unable to handle the work pressure. I am handling the sales coordinator as well as executive job and office jobs at the same time, but I still didn't finish my probation period. My employment contract is unlimited. So will I get a ban or am I supposed to pay visa expenses to the company if I resign before the completion of my probation period? Will I have to serve notice period if I resign? Also, what will happen if I am terminated? Please answer.

Q: Hi Sir, Is it possible to resign before the probation period ends? How many days are to be served as a notice period? Which article in the labor law mentioned all these queries? Kindly advise

Q: Dears, Good day. I would like to ask about this scenario. This 1 staff sent a resignation due to delayed salary but the management agreed to reject his resignation and talk to him that the company still needs him. This staff accepted the proposal then later on after 3 months, this staff did not go to work. It's like he will come twice a week and then he will not come again. Now he sent an email to give him a termination letter. The management decided to accept his resignation ssubmitted 3 months ago but this employee wants a termination letter. What is right? Is it okay if the management accepts his resignation?

Q: We have a limited contract and my contract has just been renewed. I have been with the company for 5 years and due to personal reasons, I decided to resign from my company. I am willing to render a notice period, however, my company advised that they will file a case against me. Is this legal?

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.

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).
