According to what has been mentioned into these questions:
In all cases and according to the Article (116): If the contract of the worker is with a limited period and he submitted his resignation before expiry of the contract without the reasons provided for in article (121)., the worker shall compensate the employer for What he has sustained from damage sue to revocation of the contract through compensating the employer by half of remuneration of the last three months or the remaining period from the contract , or whichever closer , unless otherwise provided for by the contract.
Question 2:My contract is limited and it has not been expired yet, may I submit my resignation and serve for one month of notice?
As for the limited contracts, there is no one month of notice … because the one month notice is for the unlimited contract -therefore , the worker shall compensate the employer by a half of remuneration of the last three months or the remaining period from the contract , or whichever closer from them , unless otherwise provided for in the contract.

I was working for a JAFZA company and resigned within 30 days even before the visa stamping.
Though I had an E Permit with Me.
On resignation they asked me for 45 days salary compensation and I had to pay coz they weren’t processing my visa cancellation.
Could you please throw some light on whether or not the act of charging this compensation was valid ? Was I supposed to be paying 45 days salary?
Dear Sir,
I started to work here in Abu Dhabi last Sept 5,2015 as home care nurse, I have a working permit with a limited contract. But last Feb 10, 2016 (5th month) my employer gave me termination of contract effective on that date and start of one month notice, after 1 month my visa will be cancelled.
Questions:
1. Will I still received my salary from Feb 10 to March 10(end of one month notice)?
2. What will be the other benefits I will get before or after the cancellation of my visa?
3. Am I entitle to receive 3months compensation? my probationary period ends on my 6th months which happens to be last march 5, 2016. (but the termination of contract effective on feb 10,2016)
4.They say theres a “final statement form to be sign before the visa will be cancelled”?
Thank you
Dear Deepak,

I have asked for the dues clearance before signing off the cancellation documents. am i still liable to pay the employer any thing, am i supposed to get the gratuity , how many days? should he pay my incentives along with my gratuity
Lucian,
Your employer is required to settle all the dues before the cancellation papers are signed.
Yes, you should receive gratuity for the number of days you have worked for.

Hello,
I am on a limited contract with a non-freezone company in Dubai since 10 months. The company never pays the salary on time, it is always delayed until the 10th or so, even though in my employment contract it says that salaries should be paid on the last day of the month.
Am I able to terminate the contract without notice based on Article 121 of the labor law (employer not fulfilling obligations), and can I avoid paying 45 days of salary as compensation?
Also, can I simply resign by email stating the above, or do I have to contact the Ministry of Labor first to document all this?
I’m pretty sure the employer will go to the MOL, so I want to protect myself beforehand.
Thanks for the help.
Dear Sir,
my contract is limited contract and its been 8months in this company. I have asked for 10days advance leave. And they are telling that once after completion of 1year only they will provide advance leave.
My other colleague had taken leaves before completion of 1year and also before completing 6months.
I think there is different policy for different people.
What can be done, please advice.
This is your internal company policy. It is good to adhere. However, we see this always…there is partiality! Sorry for your situation.
