Can I resign during the probation period without serving a three-month notice to take another job?

As per UAE Labour Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, Article 9), an employee is legally allowed to resign during the probation period without serving notice when moving to a government job.

Your employer cannot legally enforce a three-month notice period in this case.

We can assist you by preparing a formal legal statement, representing you during the MOHRE process, and ensuring your rights are protected throughout the complaint process.

Please share any relevant documents, such as your resignation letter and the government job offer for further support.

Looking forward to assisting you.

As per the contract, you have to serve 3 months upon resigning. By law, you are obligated to serve the 3-month notice.

If you don't want to, you can pay the company and leave, or you can discuss and get into an agreement with the company on how you can do this in a way that serves everyone's purpose.

Greetings,

As per the law, the notice during the probation period is 14 days. But as per your query, you have signed a contract in which a three-month notice is required.

In law, an established principle applies in such cases (PACTA SUNT SERVANDA). In short, the law of the parties and agreements must be kept.

Best Regards

Dear questioner

You need to serve the notice period, which is mentioned in your Labor contract, or you can pay payment in lieu of the notice period and do the cancellations.
