Dear Inquirer

In the UAE, there is no specific "redundant leave".

If a position is being eliminated due to restructuring, the employee is usually terminated with notice and is entitled to end-of-service benefits.

The employee can apply for accrued leave during the notice period, but not for a specific leave related to redundancy.

It is best to have a lawyer present to prevent any risks that may occur.

If you need further clarification, you can contact us.

Dear inquirer,

Yes, an employee in the UAE can file for redundancy leave if their position is eliminated due to company restructuring.

Redundancy leave is a type of termination benefit provided to employees whose jobs are no longer necessary.

The duration of the leave depends upon the employer-employee's length of service.

Thank you for your question regarding employee rights in the context of company restructuring.

If a position is being eliminated due to restructuring, the concept of "redundant leave" isn't typically recognized under UAE labor law.

However, you may be entitled to certain rights, such as notice period, end-of-service benefits, and possibly compensation, depending on the specifics of your employment contract and the reason for redundancy.

I can provide you with detailed advice on your legal rights and the best course of action in this situation.

To discuss your case further and explore your options, please feel free to reach out to me directly via WhatsApp or phone , or by email.

Looking forward to assisting you.

Best regards,

Suhail Rana
