Questions & Answers
Can an employer impose a ban on an employee terminated for taking company products?
Dear Lawyers,
How can an employer impose an employment ban or travel ban on an employee who was terminated with immediate effect for taking company products for personal use?
Does the law allow such a ban?
Dear Questioner,
In the UAE, an employment ban or travel ban can be imposed on an employee under certain circumstances. The imposition of bans is regulated by the UAE immigration and labor laws.
However, the specific conditions under which such bans can be imposed, including in cases of termination for reasons such as theft or misconduct, are subject to legal provisions and the terms outlined in the labor contracts.
It is important for both the employer and the employee to be aware of their rights and obligations as per the labor laws and the terms of the employment contract.
Yes, it happens if it is a fact. But if it’s not factual and they are just making allegations, he can file a complaint with MOHRE.
