Dear Client,

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

Terminating an employment contract before it has ended typically requires the agreement of both the employer and the employee, unless there are valid grounds for early termination specified in the contract.

It's essential to review your employment contract and consult with your employer to discuss the possibility of termination and the terms and conditions involved.

If both parties agree, they can mutually terminate the contract.

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 be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards,

ABDUL WAHIED

Dear questioner,

Following the current UAE Labor Law, terminating an employment contract before it has ended typically requires the agreement of both the employer and the employee, or either party to the Employment Contract for any legitimate reason, provided that the other party is notified in writing and commits to work within the Notice Period agreed upon in the contract, and provided that the period is not less than (30) thirty days and not more than (90) ninety days. Either party should pay compensation to the other party if the notice period is not complied with.

Please feel free to reach out to me by email if you have any further questions.
