Can the employer ask for compensation in case of resignation during probation?

Hello,

I signed a 2-year contract in a private LLC. Now I'm on a probation period. I need to leave my job and move to my country.

Is it possible to resign during the probation period?

Do I need to compensate the fees for breaking the contract with my employer?

Thanks

Yes,

You can request to resign during the probationary period. He can request recruitment expenses according to the terms of the contract between you.

Thanks,

But as per MOHRE Rules, the employer shouldn't ask for any monetary compensation from the employee.

If I'm not correct please pardon me. Also, suggest to me about the money approx.

Yes, the owner of the company bears all expenses in the event of completing the contract and has the right to request compensation in the event of non-compliance with the duration of the contract.

Please note that this answer is a general estimate, we will not be able to answer accurately without reviewing the contract and the reasons for your desire to leave work.

Dear User,

According to the UAE Labor Law, an employee may resign at any time during the probation period, provided that a notice for the resignation has been submitted according to the law (30 - days), or employment contract.

Furthermore, an employee shall not compensate the employer for costs such as visa costs, as it is against the law.

Regards,
