Is the employee allowed to resign during probation and claim salaries and benefits?

Hello

I have a dispute with a worker who signed the job offer and we started her work formalities.

It is not 6 months into the contract, and she is resigning with no cause and asking us to pay her all salaries for last month and any benefits due to her.

But she is declining to pay us for the bond/debt she accepted upon her contract signature.

I need urgent help with this labor dispute.

We are in Dubai, UAE.

And she can not work in a similar business. She is leaving us now to work in some other place in the same industry.

Thanks.

Did she resign before completing six months or after?

Did she resign verbally or she submitted a resignation paper?

What is your proof that she has joined a competitor?

The employment contract is the one that decides in this case if it provides for the payment of compensation to you in the event that the contract is not completed.
