Questions & Answers
How can I get a termination letter from my DIFC employer to qualify for the ILOE?
Dear Lawyers,
Under what conditions can I force my company in the DIFC to terminate my contract?
The company is seeking a liquidator, my salary for August has not been paid, and I need a termination letter to apply for an ILOE. However, the company refuses to issue termination letters.
If I resign, I will not qualify for the ILOE.
Hello,
While the company may be reluctant to issue a termination letter, it's worth attempting to negotiate a mutual termination agreement.
If negotiations with your employer fail, you can file a complaint with the DIFC Courts.
The DIFC Courts handle employment disputes and can provide a legal resolution, including ordering the termination of your contract if deemed appropriate.

Greeting,
You should file a complaint against the company with the relevant authority at the Dubai International Financial Centre, claiming all your rights regarding delayed salaries and others, as well as requesting compensation for unfair dismissal.
Thanks!

Yes, resignation deprives you of unemployment insurance, and you can obtain a litigation permit from the Dubai International Financial Centre and file a complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources to obtain your labor dues without having to submit a resignation.

Dear questioner,
Either you need to wait until the liquidation procedures are completed, they need to terminate you while under liquidation, or you should negotiate with the employer.
Thank you for your inquiry!
Based on the situation you’ve described, if your company in DIFC is in the process of liquidation and has not paid your August salary, this may constitute a breach of the employment contract, which could provide grounds for you to request termination under DIFC Employment Law.
Additionally, unpaid salaries are a significant issue, especially in a liquidation scenario, and you have the right to raise this with the DIFC Courts or DIFC Labour Tribunal.
Regarding the termination letter for ILOE (Involuntary Loss of Employment Insurance), it’s understandable that resigning would disqualify you from this benefit.
Given the company’s refusal to issue a termination letter, it may be necessary to explore legal actions that would compel the company to either fulfill its obligations or issue a termination notice based on non-payment of salary and liquidation.
It’s important to carefully consider your next steps, and I’d recommend we discuss your specific case in detail to outline the best strategy.

Dear Questioner,
You can potentially force termination of your contract under DIFC law due to non-payment of salary or if the company is undergoing liquidation proceedings.
It is crucial that you document everything and seek legal counsel for assistance throughout this process.
Dear Questioner,
You have to file a claim against the company with the Freezone authorities. Since the company is going into liquidation, your rights will also be protected.
