Resignation during probation in a limited labour contract
Hello Sir,
I am working in Jebel Ali free zone as an accountant. The visa is on a 3-year contract. Currently, I am in the probation period.
I would like to leave the UAE without informing the employer. Is it possible?
If yes, what are the consequences I have to face?

Dear Sir/ Madam,
Thank you for getting in touch with me on this.
I understand that you have a limited contract with the company and intend to prematurely terminate the same.
Under the UAE Labour Law, if an employee terminates a labour contract prematurely, then he is liable to pay compensation equal to 45 days of his salary and he ought to give a notice period as stipulated in the labour contract.
There is a possibility regarding the ban but the same differs depending on your job position and salary.
I suggest that you mail me your labour contract in order for me to advise better.
I trust you will find this helpful.
Regards,
Hari Wadhwana
