Notice period when the employee wants to resign during his probation period

Dear,

According to UAE labor law, if one wishes to resign during the probation period and leave the country, they must give a 14-day notice.

If they wish to change jobs within the UAE then they must provide a notice of 30 days.

However, please refer to the employment contract as the employer may have included a clause regarding the notice period during probation.

Kind regards,
