Possibility of a labour ban in case of resignation during probation

The date of the employment visa will be considered for your probation.

If you have a visa and if you did not complete one year of service, an automatic SIX months or ONE-YEAR labour ban may be imposed by the Ministry of Labour UPON REQUEST by your employer.

No employment visa shall be issued to you until the period of the ban is completed.

The basis of application:

Unlimited contract: failure to provide or complete the notice period or terminating the contract/resigning from the job before one year the contract - 6 months to one year.

Therefore obtaining the employer's consent is important and serving the notice period and the employer will claim though legally not allowed the visa cost.

Will I have to serve notice period if I resign? - YES

Also, what will happen if I am terminated? - An employee can be terminated without assigning any reason during the probation period which is 6 months under the law.

The basic idea behind keeping an employee on probation is to give the employer an opportunity to evaluate the employee's performance before confirming the appointment.

Further, the employer is not under any obligation to establish or prove the unsatisfactory performance of the employee through an inquiry prior to terminating his or her services.
