What is the notice period in case of resignation during probation?
Q: I have been working in a hospital for 5 months when I submitted my resignation. I am a laboratory professional but my visa is archive clerk. My contract states I (may) work under 6 months probation period and states that the notice period is 3 months when either party terminates the contract. My question is I am still in the probation period, does this notice still applies? I tried to compensate for my remaining notice but they said they are currently not accepting it because there is no applicant but they are not posting their vacancy. Is there anything I can do to lessen my notice period? Thank you. Questions & Answers

Q: I purchased a new vehicle from an authorized dealer in Abu Dhabi. When the car was delivered to me I noticed 6 defects.

The salesman agreed that this was a problem, he sent it back and this time they said it was a problem with tyres and they would fix it. After 10 more days they replaced the tyres. When we received the car the third time, there was still the same problem, we spoke to the sales manager, he test drove and agreed.

Asking wife to contribute to home expenses and her refusal
Q: Dear Sir, I and my wife both are working in Dubai logistics; shipping field in different companies. Due to my salary condition, I have asked my wife to support me in the home rent & home expenses but her objection is that she cannot support me in rent as it is the husband`s responsibility and it is not good for a wife to pay with husband. I also informed her that if she cannot help me in this regard, then she should leave the job and sit at home so I will bear all the responsibility and if it is tough for me then I will choose the option to send her back to home country in order to send her expenses. But she warns me that she will leave me but cannot leave the job. So my questions are: 1. Is not a wife allowed to contribute/support in this regard to her husband? 2. Do the husband have legal rights to force his wife to stop going to work? 3. If the husband asked for a divorce, then what are the terms and conditions from husband`s side to release his wife after divorce? Questions & Answers

What are the consequences of getting pregnant without marriage in the UAE?
Q: I am married and have a 5-year-old daughter. However, I split up from my husband a year ago (but still married). Now I am in a new relationship and pregnant. So, I am pregnant, married but not married to the father of the baby I am carrying. There is no time to divorce my husband and get remarried in time. What’s the best solution? Should I stay married to my husband so I can seek medical care here during the pregnancy? But then would that mean I have to put my husband`s name on the birth certificate? Is there any way I can put the father`s name on the birth certificate? I guess not, since I’m not married to him! Questions & Answers

The application of notice period in case of resignation during the probation period
Q: Good day, All I am under an unlimited contract. I am still under the 3-month probation. In the 2nd month, I was given a role that was not agreed upon with them and not congruent with my position because the role needs a license which I don`t have. I have the skills and qualifications for that role so I was compelled to do it because I am new and wanted to keep my job. That time I have voiced out that I don`t agree with that but there was no response from them. Now, in the 2nd month of the project, they still want me to do the job but I refused and told them either they clarify and remunerate me fairly or I should just resign which I did. My notice period, as per the contract, is 3 months and I want to adhere to that because I still need to find a job meantime. But they emailed me that I can only work up to the end of the week because the notice period does not apply under probation. The Labor told me, when I called them, that I should serve my notice and if they want to end the notice, they should pay in lieu of the notice period. Please advise! Questions & Answers
