Hello,

In most cases, an employer can terminate the contract if both the employee and employer agree to end the contract.

This is considered mutual termination and is allowed under UAE labor law. If you agree to the termination and sign the necessary documents, your employer may proceed with canceling the contract, and the termination will be deemed mutual.

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.

Under UAE law, a company cannot cancel your contract without your permission unless there are legal grounds. Termination requires mutual agreement or adherence to legal procedures.

If your company attempts to cancel without your consent or proper cause, you have the right to dispute.

Know your rights and seek legal advice if needed.

Thanks & Regards,

Hello,

Under UAE labour laws, an employer cannot cancel an employment contract without following the proper legal procedures.

If your employment is under an unlimited contract, the employer can terminate it provided they give you a valid reason, issue the required notice, and comply with all legal obligations, including final settlements.

For limited contracts, termination without your agreement before the contract's expiry is only permissible under specific circumstances outlined in the law, such as gross misconduct. Otherwise, your consent or mutual agreement would be required.

If your employer has acted improperly or is pressuring you to consent, you may have grounds to file a complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE).

If you require detailed legal advice or assistance in protecting your rights, I would be happy to assist. Please let me know how you would like to proceed.

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the cancellation of your employment contract!

Under UAE labor law, a company cannot unilaterally cancel your employment contract without your consent, unless specified conditions such as serious misconduct or performance issues are involved.

If your contract is being terminated, your permission or approval is usually required unless you are in a probationary period, or there is a legal basis for dismissal.

However, the specifics of your case may depend on the terms of your contract and the reason for the proposed termination.

I would be happy to review your contract and provide you with tailored advice on the best course of action.

Please feel free to reach out to me via WhatsApp or phone at [---------] or email me at [---------]. I can assist you further and guide you through the process.

Best regards,

Suhail Rana
