Will I get in trouble if I leave my job before finishing my contract?

Hi Sir/ma'am,

I just want to ask if I can leave my boss even though I haven't finished my contract here.

I've only been here for a year and one month, but I just want to go back to my country because I don't want to work for them anymore.

Will I get in trouble if I leave even though I bought my ticket back to my country?

Dear Client,

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

Leaving your job in the UAE before completing your contract can result in labor bans or penalties, depending on your contract terms and circumstances.

Labor bans can range from 6 months to 1 year or more.

Review your contract, fulfill notice periods, and seek your employer's consent if possible.

If you've met your obligations and have a purchased ticket, you may leave without additional consequences.

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,

Dear Questioner,

No, if you want to terminate your contract before expiry, you may follow the termination clause mentioned in your labor contract.

Dear User,

You have to resign in accordance with the labour law to avoid facing any legal issues. Eg. you have to serve the notice period stipulated in your contract before leaving.
