Employee's right to refuse to serve notice period after closing company
My company which is under JLT free zone applied for the closing of their business there because they opened a company in the mainland.
Before the final application of closing the company, I resigned from work (Please note that I am under a limited contract-free zone).
My boss wants me to serve my notice period on their mainland company. Is it legal?
Hoping to get an answer.
Thank you so much.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Trust you are fine.
Further to your query, kindly be informed that what the Dubai mainland company is demanding is completely not lawful.
You can serve the notice period only in your DMCC company and not in Dubai mainland company. If the mainland company does so, it can make them liable to pay huge fines.
I hope this clarifies you. Should you require any further information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us at 045547635 or you can email us at info@awsuwaidi-advocates.com
