How to act against the employer who does not approve my resignation after serving notice period?

Hi!

I have a 3-year contract in the free zone. I have worked for more than a year and gave in my resignation but my employer is refusing to approve even after serving 2 months notice.

Please, what can I do?

Dear Questioner

If the employer refuses to cancel the visa and labor card even after serving the resignation notice and not settling the dues, you can approach the free zone authority and complain to the authority for the same.

If the matter is not solved there at the free zone, then you can approach MOHRE.

You can submit the resignation and serve the notice period according to your employment contract.

You are required to follow the terms and conditions mentioned in the contract itself. If he didn't approve, you may get in touch with the free zone authority first and follow the procedure.

If you need further clarification, we will arrange a legal consultation session. Share your WhatsApp number if you want to proceed with us.

Dear Client,

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

If your employer in a UAE free zone is refusing to approve your resignation despite serving a two-month notice, start by reviewing your employment contract for compliance.

Try to resolve the issue through HR or management communication. Consider mediation services provided by the free zone authority.

If all else fails, consult with us and if necessary, file a complaint with the labor court as a last resort.

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
