Contradiction between the offer letter and labor contract

If there is a contradiction between the offer letter and labour contract issued by a free zone, which one takes precedence?

Offer letter states 30 days' notice period during probation, labour contract states 7 days. Which one will be upheld?

The principal rule in case of such contradictions is that the clause that benefits the employee prevails when there is a contradiction between the clauses of employment in contracts related to the same employee.

So, you have to think what benefits you more and insist to apply. I believe the labour contract terms will prevail over those of the offer letter.
