Q: Hi, Greetings, Ma'am, I am working for a free zone company as a sales executive. Due to my medical condition, I informed my company and had to come on an emergency to my country. After leaving the country, I met the doctor and he said it will take more than 4 months to recover after physiotherapy sessions. In the meantime, I called up my company and informed them about my medical condition and told them to cancel the visa, as I don't want to work anymore and instead I want to start a business in the UAE after my recovery. The main concern now is the company does not want to cancel my visa and also harassing me. They will put on me some kind of legal case. Please advise, how can I move forward. I want to cancel my visa and start my own business in the UAE. Thanks and regards

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).
