What happens if the employer terminated me and asked me not to serve the notice?
Q: Hello, I got a termination in my probation period but I have a notice period of 1 month in the termination letter. Yesterday, I got one interview with the permission of the manager I went for an interview for 2 and a half hours. Then the MD shouted at me and said not to come from tomorrow onwards to the office as they do not allow me to complete my notice period. They sent the mail also to me not to come to the office and come in the evening to collect my dues. I sent the reply mail that I cannot come for your yesterdays mental and verbal harassing conversations. And I request to send my detailed settlements for further process through the mail, but they didn`t reply to me and I am afraid they will not pay. They`re also saying to me they will pay until worked days on probation but my notice clearly mentioned they will pay in full in the period of the last. Please tell me if I am in trouble.

What are the effects of the non-compete clause in case of resignation?
Q: Hi I have a question regarding my UAE employment contract. I have a non-compete clause with my current employer and have received an offer/contract from a new employer in the same industry. Please, can you kindly advise if this is at all enforceable? I feel the period is too long and the scope of work is too misguiding to be enforceable by any court system. "1) the employee shall not during the term of the contract for a period of 2 years after termination for any reason, be an owner, partner, or employee of any business/employment within the UAE, in the aviation/flight support services industry which may compete with the business of the employer or any of its subsidiaries, regardless of the grounds for termination. 2) The employee shall not compete/assist anyone to compete with the employer for 2 years in any way that harms the employer`s business. 3) liable in case the employer interests suffered any materiality or moral damages as a result of this breach, and the employer is entitled to claim compensation which he deems fit."
