Dear Inquirer,

Air Ticket Responsibility After Termination During Probation

Employer's Obligation:

Yes, under UAE labor law, if your employer terminates you during the probation period, they are responsible for providing your return air ticket to your home country.

This is a legal requirement unless you find a new job or transfer your visa to a different employer. It is best to have a lawyer present to prevent any risks that may occur.

If you need further clarification, you can contact us.

Hello,

If you are terminated during your probation period, your employer in the UAE is generally responsible for covering your return air ticket to your home country.

It's always a good idea to review your employment contract carefully, as there might be specific clauses or conditions related to termination and return flights.

If your contract outlines any different arrangements, those would take precedence.

Dear Questioner,

Typically, employers are not obligated to shoulder air tickets for employees terminated during their probation period unless specified in the employment contract or company policy.

Dear Questioner,

The employer has the right to terminate the service of his employees during the probation period, and he is not responsible for paying the expenses of his repatriation.

You can search for another job and settle your situation in the country as well.

You must contact the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation to find out the procedures.
