Termination after completing probation period, does she get a month notice?

Dear Sir/Madam,

My colleague was terminated 2 days after completing her 6-month probationary period. The company gave her a 14-day notice period.

Shouldn't she get a 1-month notice period since she had already completed the 6-month period? What are her options?

She has not received any official communication from the government yet, and the company has not either.

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.

Generally, a 1-month notice period is common after probation, but her contract could outline a different period.

She can consult her company's HR to understand the reason for the notice period duration.

Keep records of communication and contact the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE).

For any further legal assistance, you can WhatsApp us. We have an extensive team of knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to provide the legal assistance you need.

We will definitely be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards,

If she has completed the probation, the company should confirm it.

If the company has not given her any contract, she can submit a complaint to the Ministry of Labor over the phone at 80060 or the website.
