Labour Contract, Refusal of Termination, Notice period
Emails: 16-10-2013 to 20-10-2013
Question 1: I am employed under a labour contract of unlimited period, and I want to leave my present job. What should I do?
You should submit your written resignation letter. And should mention in it that you want to work for a period of one month only, and this one month period shall represent the notice period fixed in one month. Normally the notice period is one month in the case of unlimited contracts. But company can make it for three months’ notice period depending on the designation. So you should give notice as per your employment agreement.
Question 2: I have terminated the service of one labour employed with me under a labour contract of unlimited period; do I need to give him a notice of one month?
Yes, because, based on Article No. 117, 
if the employer is desirous to terminate the service of any of his employees, he should do so in writing and should give him a notice of one month as per the law…except in case of termination pursuant to Article No.120.
Question 3: I am employer under a labour contract of unlimited period and I receive my salary on per diem basis, how can I send a notice to my employer in case I have submitted my resignation?
The notice can be send by per diem labors as follow:
- If the labor has worked for a period exceeding 6 months and less than one year, he should sent a notice of (one week) to his employer.
- If the labor has worked for a period not less than one year, he should send a notice of (two weeks) to his employer.
- If the labor has worked for a period not less than five year, he should send a notice of (one month) to his employer.
Question 4: If the employer or the worker refused to receive the termination or resignation letters, how can be proof the same?
Both parties should resort to the Labor Relation Department. As for the worker, he should continue in performing his duties in case he has submitted a complaint.
Question 5: I have submitted my resignation letter to my employer, knowing that I am working under unlimited labour contract, the said one month notice to be calculated within the total service period?
As per the Article No 118 UAE Labour Law– Yes, such period shall be calculated within the total service period provided that the worker has actually worked within the said period
Hi. I have resigned from my previous company and got acknowledged by my immediate supervisor. My render period is over and clearance approved by all dept. But the owner wont sign and wants to talk to me. I dont know why but I think its unnecessary since I was able yo turnover everything plus he has 30days to do it but ignored. Does he has the right to this and give me a ban? I am on unlimited contract and completed 11 months including the notice period. Am I still entitled to gratuity pay or unused leave pay plus my notice period salary

Hello good morning, I am a waitress in a limited company ( its a company which sends contractual manpower to different hotels). I finished already 1 yr and 3mos in the company and i found a job in a hotel. I just want to ask if i will still get a ban? And if i do can the hotel lift my ban? What do you think is the best solution? Becausue i really want to leave my current job. And my current employer is deducting us for visa fees.
I am on an unlimited contract and my company have terminated it due to restructuring. They have given me one months notice but still owe me unpaid salary and I am concerned that there will be a delay in my final settlement.
If I get a new job before they pat my final settlement is there a way I can start with a new employer?
Thanks
hi mr deepak,
i hope you are great today.
i think i need your advice. and ill be happy if i got a response from you sir.
reading all the questions here really lead me feel that my case is nothing to compare among the trend.
now im in a mid of a dispute with my employer
i am working as a head florist in a flower shop with the same employer for more than two years and my unlimited contract had been renewed a few weeks ago and now i want to make a decision of leaving my job.
the thing is my boss and i had signed and agreed in a contract for giving me the full management of the business in condition to pay him such amount, fix amount in monthly basis . the contract covered 9 months. the first month is fine wherein i made to cover all the contract stated even nothing was left for me as if i work for nothing and he is the only one who earned. then the worst come the next 3 months really a bad business covering the ramadan time which really a dead business season and ended me negative in terms of my payable to him as per contract between us but yet i still manage to pay all the expenses and rent for the shop but not all the stated amount in the contract that we have.. and now he is considering those balances as my depth to him.. without considering that the first and the 3 other months has give me nothing…
what i want to ask for advice is that if i can withdraw our contract and if i pursue my resignation is there a possibility that he would forced me to pay all the balances..
would the ministry of labor consider our contract valid if i seek help from them?
by the way i had written already some of my complaints againts 0 him in case i would file a case to MOL like – that sometime in my employment to him i worked alone 12-14 hours everyday in a 2 months period which i never received any extra or overtime pay, i never received any of holiday pay thus i have to work more time because its our peak season, i never received annual leave payment for the period of 2 years even after i just finish a contract and some other things which i believed are out of labor law.
pls do me a favor by hearing from you. thanks and GODBLESS U.

Good day! I am seeking for your legal advise regarding my frequent situation. I worked as a home care nurse in a home care facility and I’m on my unlimited contract, my employer also let me signed another contract, they called it “internal contract”, I was shocked because it opposes the mol contract, it is said that if you resign you will pay 15,000 aed. My employer also have my passport, I already consulted it to MOL they said ” internal contract” is not valid, when I am on my 2 months I already passed a resignation letter and work until my one month notice done, still my employer insisted me to pay 15,000 aed because he said I am the one who is breaching the internal contract and my employer said that he will file a case to me in federal court. What shall I do?
Dear sirs,
Please check my case.
I’m working in a real estate company for 4 months still Probation period. I have sent my resignation letter to my employer and he refused it as he said I’m under investigation. I got salary 1k and he is not letting me work and do my duties so I opened case in MOL but should I keep coming to office and sit without doing anything because he is not letting me work and do deals to get paid
Many thanks

I am working in sales under unlimited visa. now my contract had expired on 9th may 2016, and ,my residence visa expires on 23rd june 2016, i was on duty till 15th of june even after my contract expired, now i dont wish to renew my visa as my salary where not paid on time and not paid in full,also i dont thing they have any intention of renewing my visa , so my question is do i have to continue working. as i have not submitted any resignation letter.
Hi, I want to resign on my company, buy I am afraid that they will charged me in my Visa processing, I am almost 9 months .. do you have any suggestions?
It will depend if you have limited or unlimited contract. As per unlimited contract, no matter the circumstances of leaving employment,the employee is not liable for any of the employer’s costs. This is per ministerial order 52 of 1989, Article 6. No penalties on unlimited contract. I’m not sure about limited contract.
Hope this helps.

Hi Deepak,
In my current employer i am earning 5000AED per month but in my labor contract its only 4500AED. Now i got a job offer 8000AED monthly and i want to resign immediately (10 days notice period) and my new employer wants me to start by January 2nd week. Will i have a labor ban?
Dear Sir
I am working in a company as Quantity Surveyor. I have attested Civil Engineering Certificate. My salary in current company is AED 15,000 per month and I am in an unlimited contract. I joined the company on January 2015. I got a better offer from another company and hence submitted my resignation on 16 November 2015 to start my one month notice period. Till date, company did not arranged any replacement for me.
when I send my resignation, HR did not officially received it. Therefore, I send the scanned copy of same through email and had followed up the status of the same through emails. However, no response was received from their end.
Today I got a call from my HR manager saying that they cannot accept my resignation and I will have to serve another one month as notice period. I told them to give me an official notification of the same stating my last working day. They refused to give any such letter. Finally they told me that if I don’t agree then go to court and fight.
I request you to advise what I should do in such case. My new company is not ready to wait further. If I go to court, will it take long to get a verdict. Since HR is not negotiable, what are the possibilities to get rid of such situation.
Kindly advise.
Thanks

Dear Deepak,
I have completed my 2 year contract with my company and the work cancellation permit I received has a quote on it saying “do not issue work permit until 6 months from cancellation” or something like it. I asked our company PRO but he says don’t mind it and when I ask our HR she says she doesn’t know anything. Please get back to me as I do not know if I should sign it or not. I’ve read a lot about companies tricking their employees regarding this matter and, honestly, the company I work for did it already to some of their employees.
Thanks and best Regards.
Dear Deepak,
I have completed my 2 year contract this November 2015 and my company is forcing me to sign a work cancellation form that says “no work permit to be issued 6 months after cancellation” and I asked the pro to explain it to me as everythong in the document is in arabic, he said I shoukd just ignore it and I do not have ban. I’m wary because these people like to screw their employees whenever they can. Is the pro right in that I shouldn’t worry? Or should I escalate this into labor? I can send you photo of the quote in the cancel permit if you need it. Hoping for your reply and help.

Hello. I am working in a company under unlimited contract for 1 year and 10 months. The company is facing some financial difficulties and with that salary comes delayed all the time. It is NOT an an issue for me either. They told me that they want to terminate me. I asked them to give me official termination letter. 2 weeks passed and they are not giving any. What happens now, they are discreetly telling to other staff that they do not need my services. Somehow, they wanted me to resign because one of the partners telling that why should i not look for another job or they can help me to find another. It’s so pathetic, they are not giving me any task, I just sit in the office without doing anything. Shall I demand for a termination letter or shall I resign? I am not resigning because in 2 months I am finishing my contract.
Thank you for any support you may extend to me.
I have a lot of question in mind right now, First I want to know because I already give resignation letter to my employer that I am working until the end of this month. They give me offer letter last June 15, 2015 and I started working August 8, 2015 as Sales Promoter and then when my performance is not good working in that position they move me in Office as Receptionist. Now I already decided that I want to quit and go back in Philippines. What do they need to pay for me? Can I take my 1month paid leave if ever? or just only my salary for the month of November?

I dont want to renew my 2 contract at the company and I started my work of the 27th of december 2013 and want to end it of the 31st of december 2015. But my labor contract was applied of march 2014 after my 3 months probation.
“If i give 1 month notice this november 2015 for non renewal letter which says that I completed two according the “start date of work” will it be ok and get my 2-way ticket”
I have proof of salary which starts my pay january 2014 and offer letter with date of january 2, 2014 – saying 2 year contract and 2-way ticket.
Thank you in advance…

Hi Deepak,
I’m currently working as office manager on unlimited contract. however, when my boss hired me, i supposed to join his newly set up company. while waiting for all the processing for his new company trade license, he applied for me a visa under his father’s business, but now, he informed me that he will no longer have this new company. He asked me to look for new job but i am only on my 5th month with them and I’m afraid to get a labor ban from it. Can you please advise me on what to do.
Thank you so much!
Mr. Deepak,
I have been terminated last Sept. 2, my cancellation was done last 11th of October..
Since ai don’t plan to work here in dubai anymore, I asked for my passport..
Suppossedly, I should have my ticket since I am cancelled right?
When I asked the HR about my passport, gratuity and ticket, they told me that I need to give them a new visa from new employer or exit ticket in order for me to get my passport and gratuity..
And since I was cancelled last 11th of Oct., do I have to worry about my new visa or should I leave dxb before 11th of Sept?
Is this true?
Please respond..
Hi Deepak,
I’m working for a LLC company under unlimited contract since October 2013 and my residence visa will expire on 4th Nov, 2015.
I resigned dated 15th October, 2015 giving a notice period of 30 days as needed and they have acknowledged my resignation.
Could you please advise on my queries below:
1. Should I continue going office after my visa expiry (i.e. 4th Nov). Note: 30days notice period completes on 14th Nov.
2. What in case they do not cancel my visa after notice period? (Concern, since management is not co-operative and might delay the process inspite accepting the resignation)
3. My basic salary was AED 3500+1500 allowance which was later incremented to a total of 8000. However, the same was not officially documented. But salary of 8000 is paid under WPS through bank. What would be the salary considered towards gratuity calculations in this case?
4. I’m entitled to 30days annual leave, amounting to 60days in 2 years. However I have availed 15 days and balance 45 days is still due. Should I be paid for the unused leaves?
Thanks and appreciate your response.
Dear sir,
I am currrently employed in a restaurant for 10 months now under an unlimited contract. But the thing is I haven’t sign any contract yet and I want to quit the job. I signed only the offer letter. Is it possible that my employer may require payments from me when I resign considering that there was no indications that I have to in the offer letter?
I have a big problem and its killing me both sides i dont know what to do.
I am a Hardware and networking engineer by profession i got an offer but the boss spoke to me and told me if you are ready to learn a new thing GAS DETECTION i have a job for you, you can do your IT work for our company and learn the gas detection thing and do sales for your extra income. In this way he tricked me at first and he said he will let me in the country on sales visa and later change to service engineers visabut he didnt do that. I didnt realize he cheated me there; thought may be it must be the way to get in. This is my first job abroad so i had no idea if this was ok or not so i came here on sales visa paying my own ticket and company didnt reimburse me for that as i didnt know that it was to be taken from the company back. I came to know everything after i cancelled my papers. I singed on the contract which is limited with the offer letter mentioning something different and contract stating something different but the salary amount same as 2500 dhirams. This also i realized when i left the job. I was forced to do sales and my salary depended on sales. My employer would tell me if you cant do sales you wont get your salary.
I used to get my sslary also late but used to get it every month but instead of 5th or 7th it would come on d 22nd or 25th of the month(Sept salary would come on Oct 22nd or 25th 1 and half month it took everymonth the same thing). I worked for 1 year in total from 16th Aug 2014-19th Aug 2015 with my notice period included after my resignation on the 26th of july. During my 1 months notice period they took my signature on the cancellation papers and didnt pay my dues; i was unaware of that even, that the dues had to be taken before i signed the cancellation. I dint get my 2months salary and my leave salary which i am entitled for as my dues also my ticket money which i came to Dubai and commenced job with. My employer told me if u book your ticket for returning back to home country and show me i will give your salary of 2months only nothing else so i booked my ticket for 1st Sept 2015 and when i heard that hes not giving me the money and he told he will give at the airport my uncle told me hes not going to give you anything at the airport only your passport and tell you to leave so i kept my ticket open. And gave a complaint in the labour dept. on 8th of August 2015 as i came to know that my employer has bluffed me tricked me and taken my signature on the cancellation papers. I didnt get any call or message from the labour dept. Till i went there and they updated the list of complaints. Then i got a call on 29th of Aug 2015 and the lady conferenced me and the Admin of my company and she heard both sides and told you will have to get an appointment and i waited for it. Finally i got an appointment on the 22nd of October and when i reached therei saw my company’s owner for the first time along with the admin. i figured out that the lady telling me that it is my mistake to sign on the cancellation of visa papers your mistake that you stayed in the country without visa after cancellation and your mistake you are asking for your salary as your have to pay to the company 45days compensation.
I got another appointment for 28th tough dont know why. But what should i do?what should i expect?
Now my question is will i get justice from the labour dept.?
Will i get my ticket money of coming to Dubai from India as i have cancelled my contract and visa?
Also i booked my ticket theranted by my employer and then kept it open to get the complaint be given will i get the money for the ticket i booked to go back?(employer told me he will pay my dues at the airport if he wouldnt pay i would have had to go empty handed so i cancelled my return tickect to India)
Will i have to pay 45 days compensation to my employer?? As i have given a months notice after resignation??
Will i have to pay the fine for 2 months as the appointment came in late and i was waiting for justice so long?
My passport is with the employer and also he has taken my emirates ID card.
I am unemployed till date after cancellation and dont have money with me to survive i dont know how i am surving staying hungry and thirsty and all because my employer has cheated me. Will i get justice from labour dept. Or should i go some where more for help? Lik immigration or police or Indiam embassy for help??

Hi Deepak
I was reading all the questions being throned to you and I find it so helpful specially on my present situation. I am under a limited contract with Rak Investment Authority FZ and fortunately got an offer which is a better money compare to my present job. I just would like to ask if it’s possible not to render the whole 30 days notice period? Should the company issue violations about this action?
Dennis,
I am not aware of what your contract says and the rules of the FZ.
I was accused of something i didnt do. I asked the management to do an investigation regarding the matter but they refused and instead pin pointed me. I finished my medical last august 2015. Then, last sept 21, the management gave me a letter stating that they will not renew my contract. My last working day was on the 29th of september. Is this a proper procedure as per the uae law? Thanks.
Etong,
Does not look proper to me.
If you feel that your rights are violated, you could file a complaint with MOL.
There needs to be proper proof of any incidents.
Sir,
i am on a unlimited contract with my company i have completed 8 years of service in this company,now that i have resigned from my company i wanted to know i had given 30days notice but the company refused as they have a 45days notice,now i have accepted the 45days notice and have already finished 22days ,now suddenly the company has started putting lots of pressure and even threatened me to get me accused in a false case if i dont do any extra hours as per the companys 54hrs a week policy, i approached the H.R. DIRECTOR of my company and told him about the same he assured me protection but that needs to be seen my question to you is can the terminate me in a false case and what should i do ..pls help
Arun,
You should communicate this to the HR Director in writing and let him take up the matters.
Accusing in false case will prove costly for the company as the AUthorities here do not accept such behaviour.
Dear Deepak
I got an employee offer from a company and they have recently issues a pink employee visa for me but I have not yet finished my blood test yet , my contract is 2 years contract , in my job offer (signed by me) probationary period is mentioned as 6 months but it is said I have no right to leave the company within two year of tenure, unless with written notice (No Objection Letter) from the manager of the company.
I got my pink visa 2 months ago ,Now I have decided to leave the company for a better offer (12K+ salary). considering I am under probationary period ,
1. Do I need to submit the 30 days leave notice ?
2. Am I liable to pay the penalty fee (45 days of my salary) ?
3. can company ban me from work ?
Rami,
1. Notice period is must.
2. After 2016, there is no ban on graduates and professionals.
3. When??
Read: From January 2016, labour ban may not be applicable to you:

Boss, Thank you for your valuable time.
But it is not yet 2106 , my offer is valid for one week and I need to resign immediately.

Hi sir,
I am a nurse and I recently transferred to a new facility. They are now processing my license but it’s taking so long for me to get my new license resulting to the expiration of my visa. Now I have to exit and return back with visit visa. They also asked me to start working after I signed the offer letter but not the contract. There is still no contract signed.
P.s. They told me to get a visit visa so that I can continue my work with them. The fees for the exit process and visit visa were all shouldered by me. They said it cannot be reimbursed.
Can I still apply to another hospital?
Gen,
If your labour approval is not yet applied, you could apply with other companies.
Working on visit visa is illegal.
Dear,
I already gave my resignation to my boss for 1 month notice. but he refuse to accept my letter. I have worked for 8months without labour contract. He was not able to give the salary he offer for me. He just said wait until 3months. then after 3months still the same. I wait 6months then he refuse to give me the salary he offer. so after 8months. i am resigning because i need to look for a higher salary than can support me and my family. sir what is the best thing to do so i can leave my company because he just said i will be banned in uae if he cancel me.
Angel,
You should first of all file a complaint with MOL.
However, since you do not have labour contract, it is illegal to work.
Do you have residence visa?? How are you staying with visa?
Dear Sir,
I already file the complaint because of working without contract. I only have employment visa and emirates ID. When I checked my record online I have Pre-approval work permit and it was already expired last march 22, 2015 and have penalty. As for now my employer accept my resignation and he wants me to withdraw my complaint. And I ask him that if he will cancel me i am not the one who will be charged for the penalty. my question for now is when can he cancel me? what is the procedure for cancellation? because I have the offer to work in freezone.
Thankyou.
Angel,
the employer should bear all the penalties!!

I’m working in my company under labor which is under unlimited contract,my labor visa started last oct13,2013 nd will expire this 12 of this month of oct,I told them that I don’t want to renew when they ask me if I will,I just want to go back to my country…
They want me to renew my contract,they said if I really don’t want,they will not allow me to leave as long as I can’t find someone who will take over my job..
I’m finished with my 2 yrs contract,is it my responsibility to find someone who will take over my job before I can leave?
I don’t want also sir to extend even for a week after this 12 of Oct which my visa will be finish already,is it OK if I will not work anymore after that day,nd I will wait only till the day of my flight?
Jenelyn,
No, it’s not your responsibility at all.
Dear I am working in a bank on third partyI(agency) visa on an unlimited contracte & i am competing 9 month, i have resigned dated 01st October 2015 with 30 days notice period mentioning 30th oct 2015 my last working day on a physical paper & my TL & SM accepted the & signed & stamped but yesterday when they forwarded the same to head of department he is saying i’ll not accept the resignation & will terminate me, they have done same to other guys before as well. Sending the termination email to agency with whom i am having visa with & i have informed & sent an email to my agency as well regarding my resignation & notice.
Plz suggest:-
Can they still terminate me because i dont want termination, i want to properly serve notice & properly resign?
What can i do?
Mohammad,
That will be termed as arbitrary termination!!
Good day Sir/Ma’am!
I just want to know if we all have the same 6 months probationary period? is it okay for me to resign, because i am still in the 5th month of probation, i want to go back in my country and i have a valid reason. is that okay? I just want to clarify these things…
Thank you very much
Ann,
usually during probation, companies do not allow leaves.
I already submitted my resignation notice to my employer via online (scan). because I was not able to meet him personally as he was based on the other emirates but my PRO is living together with me in the same accommodation. My employer accept my resignation. But they did not reply to my email. they just inform my PRO about. Do I need proof that I sent him my resignation just in case they insist that I don’t pass a notice. or should I get a return paper or anything? just to proof that i send my 1 month notice. thanks
Narry,
you need to get official reply from employer on acceptance on resignation.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m in limited contract (2yrs), started 30/06/2014 and I went on 30 days vacation in July and returned, working again from Sep onward. as per contract Total 4000.00 AED (Basic 2500+ Accommodation 1500). I paid monthly salary each months.
my contract not mentioned any notice period.
We made terms when I joined you July 2014. I demanded you for 6000.00 AED monthly salary and bonus in projects. As company situation was not in good position financially employer explained. We made deal, with basic monthly total salary 4000.00 AED, and 1000.00 AED bonus in each 5000.00 AED made on net profit over 35000.00 AED, which Involved. We both work together last 14 months with patients, I didn’t demand any bonus on small projects or jobs I done.
But I waited, and last projects given very good profit, and credited to company account August end, I remind you from 2015 September, about my bonus. But now you saying, it’s not possible.
So request him, for three options,
1. You keep me in employment until expired, with paying last project bonus and for pay me future project as well as same terms.
2. If you can’t continue give me bonus agreed terms, pay this remain bonus and release me from employment contract within two months.
3. If you can’t give this remain bonus at all, please release me immediately from contract
How you advice, I really want to leave if not worth. because I can make 10000.00 monthly and bonus in so many companies in UAE. even some investors request me for partnership to develop the business.
Thank You
Regards
Elil

Dear Mr. Deepak.
I am employed under a unlimited contract and was employed last June 2014. I have seen a new job opportunity that gave me greater benefits. I have submitted a resignation letter 2 weeks ago with a notice period. After few weeks I received a reply from our HR department stating that they are omitting my resignation letter and for me to finish the contract a have signed with them before they can let me go. Kindly advise me what are my rights or is it my right to resign? What should I do in order for me to get our of my current company?
Hope to hear from you at the soonest.
Regards,
Mac
Josef,
Your employer can not stop you from resigning.
You could file a complaint with MOL about this.
Hi Deepak,
I received a reply from my employer stating that they don’t accept my resignation. As I was breaching the contract and sudden omission from service they will give me an corresponding disciplinary action towards me. In addition I have called the MoL today and asked for an advise. Unfortunately and unexpected they told me that I will have 1 year ban as I signed a limited contract even my new company is a free zone company.
Can you give me an advise what will be my next right step if any???
Regards
Josef,
IF you resign from limited contract, as MOL said, you will have 1 year ban.
You can not even join free zone company i think so.

You could terminate him under Article 120 of UAE Labour Law as providing false information.

Hameed,
You have to ask your company about the resigntaion application.
sir, I am working under unlimited contract under labour visa, I worked for almost a year. Most of us resigned because the company said that we are closing so better finf a new job, so in short iwas able to get one, I render my notice period of one month, and during my exit inerview, the hr said that they will hold my salary which i worked from aug. 15 to sept. 15 plus this october for my one month notice period. they said that it was there procedure but it was not written to the hr handbook that they gave. Is it legal to hold the salary which i worked for before i gave my resignation? i can understand if they hold the salary which i work for during notice period but to hold the salary that i work before i resigned, i believe is not right. pls help.
Fairee,
Usually the final salary is credited along with the final settlement.
Dear Deepak,
I’m currently working on a LIMITED CONTRACT for 1 year now. I’m going to resign the company this October.
1. Do we need to pay the company for terminating the contract?
2. during our render period are we paid?
3. Are we applicable to get gratuity pay even serving for 1 year?
4. If I resign and did not render exact date but management approved is it applicable if both parties agree?
Clarity,
1. No.
2. Yes.
3. Yes.
4. yes.

Dear Deepak,
I’m currently employed by a company and just finished 4 months of duty. As per contract the probation period is 6 moths.
Due to some circumstances I want to resign and apply for another job in UAE.
I’m holding two passports of different countries. One passport contains a UAE visa, another is clean.
It is not clear in the labor law if I get a ban on one passport, can I still get employed using other passport.
will the ban still apply to me if I exit UAE with one passport and return using another passport?
Igor,
If you are banned on one passport, then you may not be able to apply with other passport.
Labour ban is not on passports, but on the person.
Your identity will be known through emirates id.
Hi Mr. Deepak,
I am an accountant & my contract is unlimited and have completed 4 years in present company. One month before labour card expiry, I have already requested employer in writing not to renew my labour card & visa and employer also agreed… One month notice period already completed but employer still not releasing me and delaying without reason.. Visa already expired on 20-09-2015. Kindly advise me what to do.
Vishnu,
You could file a complaint with MOL.
Hello,
Incase I sign a offer letter from a company and leave for home to wait for employment visa. In the meantime if I get a better offer or if I decide not to work in UAE, do I still face a ban or can I pay up for the visa expense and move on since I haven’t joined and labour contract isn’t signed yet.
Thanks
is the new offer in UAE?
If yes, you will face ban in case your labour approval was processed.
You need to inform the employer of your situation that you are not interested to join for them to cancel the process.
im working in a clinic for 8 months now and i want to cancel it to transfer for the new clinic. Aside from 1 month notice period what else my responsibility and liability to my old company? how to lift the ban i have since it is less than a year?
Thank you
Aisah,
Ban will depend on your contract type.
Important: As per the new labour laws, bachelors will not face labour ban.
Dear Mr. Deepak,
I find your post and answers very helpful, yet I still need to clarify my own situation. Please help me straighten out this issue. Here are some facts:
* I am currently in my first job here in UAE
* I have Unlimited Contract in a Dubai Visa (the one that is not freezone)
* I have started to work for the company on MARCH 15, and it is stated as well in my contract (which is technically the offer letter)
* My Residence visa is issued on MAY 26 (I have worked for the company for more than 2 months under Visit Visa)
* I have 6-month probation period
* Termination of employment from either party under probation requires only 1 week notice, and it is stated as well in my contract (which is technically the offer letter)
* Two month notice must be given should the employee decide to terminate employment after completing the probationary period
* I am planning to resign before my probation period ends
My questions are:
1. When is the official start of my probation? MARCH 15 or MAY 26?
2. If I am able to resign under the probation period, do I still need to pay anything to my employer? (e.g. Visa fees or 1 full month pay as stated in Labor Law)
3. If I am not able to resign under the probation period, which notice period should I follow, the one in the labor law (30 days) or the one in the contract (offer letter) which is 2 months?
Thank you very much, and I hope to hear from you soon.
Maria,
1. The day you started working officially and not on visit visa!.
2. No, unless it is mentioned in your contract.
3. As per the contract, under probation, you will serve 7 days as mentioned by you.
Hi Mr. Deepak,
I am working for 3 months in a cleaning company in Dubai as a reception clerk. Now, I want to resign because they’re making me do outdoor marketing. They only told me about marketing when I am already working for them. They’re also deducting 200 as visa retention and said that they will give it back to me as soon as I resign. They are also holding my passport and dont want to give it back to me.
Also, before they hire me, they took 1000 dirhams to me and saying this will be the processing fee of the agency for my visa because a diploma and TOR is needed before the visa can be processed. But I talked to someone and he said that diploma and TOR are not needed for reception clerk.
I also confirmed today that I am working under Unlimited agreement. Because before, I was asking them to let me see my labor contract but they didn’t allow me. It says here that the basic is 1000, accommodation is 1000 and transportation is 500.
Here are my questions:
1. If I resign, do I need to pay the company? How much?
2. Are diploma and TOR needed to apply as reception clerk?
3. I finished bachelor’s degree, how can I lift a ban?
I am hoping for your response ASAP as I am planning to resign on 1st of October.
Thank you spo much and more power!!!
Arkim,
1. No, you do not have to pay unless it is limited contract.
2. I don’t think so.
3. Need 12K salary as per current laws. However, in the new labour laws issued on 27th September 2015 by MOL, graduates will not face ban issues. But these rules are effective January 2016.
hi sir can i ask if you already inform the to leave in company beacuse of the salary is not coming every month and they are asking for resignation letter is it needed for cancellation sir?
thank you.
Hello Mr. Deepack,
I currently employed under a 2 yrs LIMITED term contract, already served for 1 yr 10 months, and planning to leave right by the end of the contract period.
***should i give the employer a notice about not renewing my contract? (i prefer not to, if not mandatory by the law)
on my paid leaves balance i have around 10 unused days.
*** is it possible to use these days in the last month of the contract (whether i give a notice or not) (of course this pends on the approval of the employer) ?
i.e. does the law state any information about this matter?
B,
***yes, you must serve notice period.
***yes.
Hi Mr. Deepak,
1 year ban are imposed at the request of an employer, right?
Isn’t immigration ban only for those with criminal offense? I do not have any criminal offense so I don’t think I’ll be having that. Can my husband apply for my spouse with given that I’ll be having MOL ban for 6 months?
Thank you
Alpha,
Yes.
Not necessarily.If you have MOL 6 month labour ban, your husband can apply for your residence visa.
Dear deepak,
When I have email confirming company will not provide over time. Can I use this to resign this job under limited contract, which was not ended one year. Can I submit at the court.
Also they forcefully hold the passport can I use it against the company at courts.
Thanks narayan
Narayan,
Overtime is the right of employees as per UAE labour Law.
Passports can not be held by companies.

Yogesh,
Your situation is not clear to me.
Hi Mr Deepak,
I ‘am employed under a immigration visa. As per my contract it says that 2 years (24 months)my last day of work will be on 22nd October 2015 and my boss doesn’t want to accept my resignation as what they want me to give a 2 months notice and i obey i gave after that i also gave a 1 month notice but still they dont want to accept it. And as per my visa it will expire on 06.11.2016. So My question is, should I resign after the date mentioned on the contract or after the date mentioned on my visa and also they are telling me that im the one who should pay for my air ticket going back to my home country.
Appreciate your quick response and action.
Mel,
Your visa validity will decide your notice period as this is immigration level approval.
No, you are not eligible for return ticket from company if you resign. However, you should be paid the normal airticket that you are eligible.
Dear Deepak,
my company now is telling me that they cannot release me on my last day and forcing me to extend until january 2016. can i go to the labour for my rights?
Appreciate your quick response and action.
thank you very much.
Mel,
Yes you can go to MOL.
I am having a limited contract. I have been with the company for 10 months. I have resigned with immediate effectivity. They have sent a confirmation that I need not to pay 45 days salary penalty. Can they hold my
Also, how much ban am I going get? How can it be lifted. Please note after cancellation of current visa my husband will be processing my docs for spouse visa. Can I still work in uae?
Thanks
Alpha,
You may receive 1 year ban.
No, since you will have MOL level ban, you may not be able to work or get labour approval. If it is immigration level ban, you will not be able to get UAE Residence visa.
Dear Mr. Deepak,
I am having a problem with my employer/company.
I am a bachelor’s degree graduate with attestation but on my visa they put on my designation
as ” loading and unloading worker “.
I am still new with my job under a LIMITED Contract, I’ve been working for almost 7 months in a Cargo Company.
I got my first job here in Dubai, they give me a basic salary of 1500+350 accommodation.
They promise me to raise my salary after 3 months then they will give me a permanent position
and on my contract i will work 8 hrs a day. But what is happening to me right now is very disappointing,
none of their promises fulfilled until now.They are giving me lot of works like encoding or processing
all shipments until i finish everything, My duty starts 1pm in the afternoon and i will work
up-to 11 o’clock or 12 o’clock at night up-to i finish everything, i can’t refuse to finish all the works
cause it will be a big problem on the company if i don’t make all the manifest and send all the shipments.
Everyday i’m doing this i will work for 11-12 hours a day and they are not paying for my overtime also. Please help me. Please answer my questions..
1.If I resign from my current job will there be a labour ban on me?
2.If i won’t follow them or make complains on to them? if they will terminate me do i get ban?
3.Can I apply for another Job?
4.What is best thing i can do?
5.Do i have the right to resign?
Thank You!
Rj,
1. Yes, under limited contract, you could face up to a year ban.
2. Yes, they could terminate you. Read: http://emiratesdiary.com/uae-labour-law-2/limited-contract
3. WIth labour ban, you may not be able to get another approval.
4. You will need to complete your contract.
5. Yes, you can resign. But will face ban.
Mr. Deepak,
Instead of 8hrs written on my contract duty only, my employer want’s me to do all the jobs up to 11hrs to 12hrs everyday. without paying my overtime.
Even my employer is not following what is written on my contract?
I don’t have the right to complain or leave on this company? and if I do that, i will be facing a ban?
Is that what you mean Mr. Deepak?
Thank you for time Mr. Deepak, i really need your help, i don’t really want my company anymore they are abusing me. I want to resign and get another job. I don’t know what to do. Please help Mr. Deepak.
RJ,
you have all the rights to complain if you feel that your rights are being violated.
If you resign without completing your contract, you may face labour ban.
Dear Deepak,
I have been working in my current employer for 1 year now. I have a unlimited visa. I have found a new company which is Free zone. My current employer wants me to serve 3 months. There is no policy of notice period on my LABOUR CONTRACT, the problem is there is this rule in the EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT. How do you interpret this
“After the successful completion of your probationary period you may terminate by providing at least three months’ notice in writing to the company. The Company shall provide you with not less than one month notice to terminate”.
Will I face a ban if I leave on the last day of my notice period? My free zone employer require the copy of cancellation from labour in which will not be possible since my current employer want me to stay for 3 months instead of 1 month.
thank you,
Anthony,
I think it is clear that you must serve the 3 month notice period as in the employment contract.
Dear Mr. Deepak,
Good morning!
I have a problem,
since 20July 2015 I started working in the company as Marketing specialist at Dubai with unlimited employment contract with 6 months probation period but I am not at all comfortable to work here so I informed to my boss that i want go back please cancel and give back my passport,
Then he is asking me 10000 AED to give back my passport with cancelation, I am on my probation period and completed 2 months only still 4 months remaining …
I don’t Know What to do
please help me
thank you
Shijoy
Shijoy,
You do not have to pay anythig to the company if it is not written in the contract.
You could file a complaint with MOL for this.

I would like to resign this october or november, do I nedd to pay any visa expenses or other penalty. I’m planning to go back home to my home country.
AJ,

Hi Deepak,
Right now im working here in UAE for 1 month already. I signed 2 years contract. Now, i want to resign but my employer is asking me 4000 dirhams and i will be having 1 year ban and they are telling me i cannot enter UAE for 1 year. Is that true? Im not satisfied with my work right now. Im planning to look for another job. Can you please explain to me if its true that i cannot enter UAE for 1 year if i resign without completing my contract? Thank you!
Karlo,
If it is limited contract, yes, you will face 1 year ban and also must pay 45 day salary to your company.
What if im on husband visa?
Yram,
Labor ban is applicable, even if you are on husband visa.
Hi Deepak,
i have already tendered my 30 days notice period to my previous company under Unlimited Contract. however my employer still holding me and telling me that I’ve not properly handed over all my responsibilities to the company (knowing he hired already someone for my replacement). i have filed already my complain to MOL (already a week now) and i was advised not to do anything, i should wait util MOL calls. despite all of these my employer still saying that that my departure from the company still not as per the UAE Labor law. I am wondering does my employer still have right to hold me/my cancellation even I’m done with the said notice period?
Please may i have your reliable advise.
Thanks,
Mac
Mac,
I am not sure why your employer is doing this!
Hi Deepak,
Thanks for your prompt reply, appreciate that.
Myself as well don’t understand why he’s doing that, thats why i came up to you to ask this, though MOL advised me the same about my rights in this concern.
Thanks,
Mac

Hii. Im currently working here in UAE for one month. My employer said if i will resign i will get one year ban here in UAE and i am not allowed to enter here for one year. How true is that? Please i need answer. Im not satisfied with my work right now and im planning to resign and look for another work. Thank you!
Hi good afternoon.
I am under unlimited contract working in a private company. 1 year and 8 months to be exact. I accepted a job offer from a new company which is free zone. I submitted my resignation to my boss with 1 month/30 days notice but he is not allowing me to resign or they are asking me to extend. But my new company is only willing to wait for me after my 30 days notice period. Do they have the right to refuse my resignation even i followed the mandatory 30 days notice as per the labour law? I did not sign any documents regarding this. I have no job offer when i started. I only signed the labour contract but there is no information regarding resignation. I really want to leave and move to the new company. What should i do? Please help. Thanks.
Ann,
COmpany has no right to stop employees from resigning.
There is nothing specific written in labor law.
can I tender my 24 hour resignation? is that possible in the UAE law?do they have rights to stop me or extend me on these?
Hi Mr Deepak, im seeking for an answer.
I am employed under a labour contract of limited. My plan is to finish my contract and not to be renewed. As per my contract it says that “The duration of this agreement shall be LIMITED as from 15/12/2013 to 14/12/2015. And as per my visa it will expire on 08.02.2016. So My question is, should I resign after the date mentioned on the contract or after the date mentioned on my visa. As I don’t want to have any ban.
Appreciate your quick response and action.
Renka,
Dates as per contract will be considered.
Do I need to ask my boss to sign the notice in case that he denies he received that notice.
June,
Better to get official email or letter.
Good evening,
I was terminated with immediate effect during my probation period. I asked for my salary breakdown from 1st of the month until today(16 September) and they are telling me that the salary will be calculate depending on how many days the month have(30/31) not by how many working days have one month (22).
Example: a salary of 10k /30 days=333.33 aed/day
10k/22 working days per month=454 aed/day
Please let me know which one is the legal calculation for the salary?
Thank you!

Hello goodeve. .
I have problem now,
I started working in this company this Nov 30 2015. They give visa January 25 2015 and my contract is unlimited.
I decided now not to go to work .
Since I work there this is my first absent.
I tell to my manager I wanna go back to Philippines.
Now he is telling me he will put case to me .
He will put case ( AWOL) to me and send me to Police.
Or else he told me I have to pay him 5000 for the visa expenses.
Do I really have to pay 5000 ? And do I really having AWOL case?
I need answers please .
Thanks
Jobelle,
You do not have to pay any visa expenses. If he is blackmailing you, you could file a complaint with MOL and Police.
Hey deepak
I have joined this particular company on June 2015. I exited on my visa on 13th july and returned on the 28th of july on the companies employment visa. Its been 2 months since i have been working here on the companies visa and I have not recieved any contract. I am not satisfied with my job and I am planning to quit provided i get a job elsewhere (mostly in the freezone).
There are 4 things i want to know
1) By reading online I learnt that If i get a job with salary more then 5000 or if i get a job in the free zone my ban is automaticaly lifted. (Correct me if i am wrong here)
2) Secondly if i dont get a job and i still plan to quit. I know i’l get the ban but just wanted to know till when will i have to exit the country?
3)My company has kept my passport with them. I know its illegal but what can i do for that?
4) I have heard from my previous employees that they have signed contracts mentioning that if i leave the job before the contract expires, i will have to pay some fine.Please note i have not signed any contract yet. But just want to know that if incase they do ask me to Can i refuse?
My visa is not stamped on my passport yet but i guess it will happen in this month.
Waiting for your reply.
Deepak.
Thanks in advance
Fernandes,
1. Yes, but not in all the cases. Jafza does consider whether you have a labour ban!!
2. You have up to 30 days after cancellation to exit the country.
3. You should request it back.
4. How did your visa get processed if you have not signed any offer letter or contract??
my 2 year visa is finish after one month , i need resignation , can tell me about leave salory? (homany months available the leave salory)

HI,
this is my first job in UAE, i started in April 2015 and intend to resign in october 2015 , .i.e after completing six months whereas my probation period was of 03 months which i have completed. My Contract says that my appointment is on purely temporary basis. which can be terminated by rendering one month notice or by payment of one month salary in lieu thereof by either side.
so can i resign without facing a ban if I give one month notice or I pay one month salary?
Ayesha,
Labour ban is automatic.
It is not linked to payment in lieu of notice period.
then how can i avoid labor ban?

Hi Sir,
Greetings!
Needed your advice, I have finished 3 and half years from my company under labor visa unlimited contract. I did resign already and finished the 1 month resignation notice period. I have requested to cancel my visa, but my employer keeps delaying the cancellation for no reason.
No liability is left from my side as I handover everything.
My boss personally doesn’t like me, I guess he intentionally trying to keeps my cancellation delay, for me to be mess up.
Please advice what should I do.
Thanks a lot!!
Rein,
You could approach MOL and file a complaint about the delays.

Dear,
I`ve been working in a hotel since 03/Aug/2014. My contract is for 2 years and i resign after one year (20/aug/2015).
The first question is: They are charging half of all my expenses with them (Visa/Ticket/Medicals), I need to pay for all?
Second: After give the notice period can I stop work before the 30 days and pay the company for the remaining days?
Many thanks
Fernandes,
1. That is illegal to charge visa fees to employees.
2. No, you have to serve the notice period on duty.
Fernandes,
You need not pay any expenses to company.
You could stay, but it is up to the company to request you to exit immediately after cancellation.
Dear Sir

Prakash,
If you have labour contract, you should approach MOL.
For rest of the cases, you could visit immigration.
I tendered my resignation to my previous employer because I received a job offer to the new company and informing to finish my one month notice period. Now, as I am waiting my new visa, after submitting all the required documents for visa processing- the new company doesn’t want me to give me the job anymore. Can I file a complaint case to MOL? I have to exit the country soon and buy my own visit visa because of them.
Thanks.
Cherry,
I am not sure about this!!
As of now, you do not have any recourse.
You could file a complaint with MOL!

Dear Sir,
I worked with a company in Dubai for 4years. After getting a good opportunity in G4S company in Abu Dhabi, I resigned from my old company. My last working day was 12 June 2015. Accordingly, my visa from the old company was cancelled on 13 June 2015 and I have submitted all the required documents for visa processing to my new company. It is to be noted that as per the visa cancellation document, I could stay in the UAE till July 13. I understand that it usually takes two days for processing the visa. My new company I submitted my final documents needed for my visa process since 4 July but I am still waiting for my visa in UAE. I have not received any response from the new company. Currently I am overstaying in the UAE and have no clue what to do in these circumstances. I have 1 month 10 days over say already. What can I do and how much will be my fine?
Hassan,
The fines are 25 dirhams per day.
It is better to exit the country if you do not have visa.
Do you have labour approval?
Hi i have an unlimited contract and I’ve been working in the company for over a year.My boss has different companies in the UAE and ive been working in one of our companies in Dubai and my visa is in Dubai as well.Now my boss asked me that starting next week i should be working in one of our companies in Sharjah. So my question is do i have the right to say no? and do they have the right to terminate me if i say no?
Ross,
yes, you have all the right to say NO as long as you have not agreed to it or signed in your contract.
hi
1. i worked in a company for 14 months and i resigned and going to another company,
i have family with me, how can i hold there visa?
2. while in notice period in present company, how many hours i have to work.
it should be full 8 hours or there is any law that i can work less hours during notice period.

Mohammed,
1. I am not sure that facility is still available to hold the visa. You should check directly with immigration.
2. Hours of work do not change during notice period.
Hi Sir, I just want to know how much does a person need to pay to the company for the initial labor approval cancellation in case he doesn’t want to accept the job but already signed the offer letter. No employment (pink visa ) yet. Thank you.
Gere,
Sorry for the delay in replying. I was out of station for couple weeks.
You do not have to pay anything to the company.

I am currently working in unlimited contract, I have 2 positions in our company. My boss didn’t give me increase, he canceled the P.R.O before, and he promoted me. I have been working for more than 5 months now as a P.R.O, but I’ve been working since January 2014. I want to resign now, what are the possible problem I can encounter? What if he didn’t accept my resignation letter? What should I do? I really don’t want to work here anymore. Pls, help me. Thanksss
Anna,
You may face labour ban.
Hi, my employer serve me my termination letter on the grounds of misconduct and insubordination it was also stated there that i need to make a 30 days notice period before it will take effect. Do i really need to complete the notice period or should i just consider it as optional? Thanks in advance.
James,
Notice period is mandatory!
I have resigned from my current job. I never signed a contract. I said to my boss I would do a 6 week notice period to be polite however my new manager has asked I start on the 1st of sept. This means only doing a 30 day notice. I have advised my current manager of this and he has said I have to do 6 weeks because I said so in an email.
I have never actually signed a contract. I don’t want to loose my new job. Please help
Mel,
Why did you have to overstep on your current notice period and mention 6 weeks.
Now they have a proof that you have agreed and may create some confusion.
It is better to request the reversal of 6 week period.
My labour contract has expaired 03/08/2015.I don’t wish to renew with the company.I didn’t sent resignation till..how I approach to or any problem if im aplying new job..because I have an offer right now.
Uday,
You will need to check with your company on this as they may have policies on notice period etc.
can Employee before 1year encash leave on resignation, termination.
Asan,
Depends on what the company policy is!
Hi. I am working under unlimited contract in Dubai. I have completed one and a half year and now I have got a better opportunity with more salary & prospects. I want to resign. But I want to know
1. can i shift without a ban. (The new company is not under free zone & the salary is not meeting the required standards)
2. Also, I will be serving one month notice but then do I have to exit after my employement visa cancellation? is it compulsory ? Can I not join from the very next day of my last day in current company.
3. If the current company is going to cancel my visa. Will it be cancelled easily and in how many days. I have etisalat mobile bill outstanding from past three months. Will it affect my cancellation procedure. Please let me know. Thanks in advance.
Javed,
1. Read: Avoid labour ban.
2. That depends on your company whether they allow you to stay after the visa cancellation.
3. I can not speak for your company. You need to ask them directly.
My labour contract has expired on 20th july and my visa will expire on 8th august. i dont want to renew it. so can i say company not to renew directly what will be the notice period i need to give.
Aakinchan,
Have you rendered notice period?
If not, you should render.
Hi I have been terminated due to accommodation policy , I was terminated immediately but and advised there will be no ban, I worked for 8 years in this company and still have my flight allowance and vacation due. Will the company pay me for that as per the UAE labour law.
Martin,
Since there has been a violation of rules and if the company has terminated you on Article 120 of UAE Labour Law, you may not get the benefits.
You need to check with your HR.
I need ur advice, i have got a job of a sales person at a shop. i have an unlimited contract with mi company which ends next month september 27th. but the person giving me this job needs me before 15th september.. and my contract will be left with two weeks…

That is illegal. Employers can not ask for visa expenses.
You could file a complaint with MOL against this.
Sir,
My contract will expire this 8-8-2015 and i got an offer better than my present offer. I send a resignation letter, should i wait for the month notice period from the day i send the resignation or i can just stop working at the end of my visa expiration?
Vincent,
Yes, you must serve the notice period with the current company.

Dear Mr. Deepak,
Hello Sir, I just want to ask advice . I am working under “LIMITED Contract” for 10 months working. I was promoted 2 times and never had any bad report or warning letter.
Suddenly June 29,2015 , my Company stop me from work also told me to find job within 1 month.
after 2 weeks I found job . I went to my previous company to ask for my termination letter and to process my cancellation. But my company told me Sign the warning letter that they make and they will give the termination letter. But I didnt Sign Because all bad issue she write about me were all lies.
after 3 weeks they ask me to come back to work but with some rules that i will only recieved my basic salary or else file resignation.
If I will resign I will be ban for 1 year as I am working in limited contract and only 10months working. They are the one who stop me but they refused to give termination letter. What I need to do Sir?
Thanks,
EB
Elsa,
Yes, if you resign under limited contract, you will face 1 year ban. Also you will need to pay 45 day compensation to the company.
Termination is better if you are under limited contract and in any case they were the ones who wanted to terminate you.
Why did they back out?
Greetings Deepak,
I seem to have stumbled onto a dilemma here. I’ve been terminated by my employer and have received my termination letter without stating the reason of termination – termination effective immediately with last working day as 30th August 2015. It has only been a month since I worked and I was in my probation period of 6 months. I haven’t received my copy of the labor contract and hence I cannot confirm the type of contract that I have signed. My offer letter mentioned that the employment offer was for a period of 1 year from the date of commencement of work.
1. Could you provide me with conclusive result for a limited and unlimited contract based on my present scenario? (in terms of any dues to be received/benefits/air ticket)
2. I will have a labor ban for 6 months. True?
3. Could I still be hired in a Free Zone visa while I am still in U.A.E till 30th August?
Your quick response will be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Roy,
1. Read: Limited Contract and Unlimited Contract
2. Yes, labour ban is automatic.
3. Yes, You should collect NOC and termination letter from your employer.
Greetings!
I am working with Emerging Technologies last five months. Company has given me unlimited contract. Now, I want to resign this organization as they are not paying wages on time.
My visa is under Sales Executive and from day first I am performing as per company parameters. I have given the business more than 150% of my target.
I got good job of AED 5000 per month in dubai and I want to join it.
Today I discussed with my HR manager related to notice period, she is asking me to pay all the expenses that was occurred on you. I am ready to server notice period of one month.
Please help me to get rid as I am not able to pay the expenses.
Thank You.
Asghar,
You are not required to pay any expenses if it is not mentioned in your labour contract.
Hi Deepak,
I have some Query, i want to change my job, i am working under husband sponsorship and Labour contract under Freezone, by 17th of august i would be completing my 6 months. can i change my job and do i have to pay any amount to employer as a training purpose. in my offer letter its mention we have to pay 5000 Aed if we are not cmpleting 36 months ( freezone labour contract), is it applicable for me. please suggest .
Geethu,
whether you have to pay or no will be decided by the employment contract that you have signed.
However, if you are working in free zone, you may not face labour ban.
Hi sir,
i just want to ask something, i am currently employed for less than 6 months now on unlimited contract, and i’m planning to resign if i got a new job on free zone company or any company that can lift the 6 months ban. Is it possible for me to resign within 6 months on my unlimited contract for 2 years? do i have to pay anything to my current company and to labor?
thanks
Ernie,
You need to be careful. Certain free zones like Jafza, do consider whether you have a labour ban.
SO be careful to ask your new company whether you will have a ban or no.
I am working in present company from 3 years now i have got another job in Dubai and i would like to resign.
I submitted my resignation letter officially to my HR Manager.
But HR Manager is saying that the notice period should be 3 months as per your signed offer letter. I submitted resignation as per UAE Labour Law with 1 month notice period.
Please let me know should i wait 3 months or 1 month is ok as per UAE Labour Law.
Thanks
Sunny,
Offer letter is not valid after the labour contract is signed.
IF the company wanted to increase the notice period, it should be changed in the labour contract at the time of signing.
You should talk to MOL in this regard and get a confirmation.
Hi Mr. Deepak,
I just finished my 2 years of contract last July 11, 2015 & I gave my resignation letter last July 19, 2015 because I don’t want to renew the contract. The company is insisting that I should finish one more month of my duty due to one month notice period. They said if I wont finish my one month notice period then I will be required to pay for it. By the way my Visa is under labour, my questions are: One month notice period is a must
after not renewing the contract? And if so, if i stop on duty with out finishing one month of notice do I have to pay for it? Hoping for your response… Thank you
Joedel,
yes, one month notice period is a MUST as per Labour Law.
Yes, you will have to pay for it if you have not served notice period.
I have a question i wanted to resign but my employer does not accept my resignation letter. I have finish my two years contract. When I joined my company they did not give a copy of my employment contract. I kept asking them before but they just promise me that they will give but until now i am resigning i they did not provide. what should i do? should i go the labor i am under sharjah free zone.
CATELYN,
MOL does not have jurisdiction over free zones.
You should visit respective free zone authority.
Hi Mr. Deepak,
I would like to ask some question regarding my visa, I am currently on cancelled visa and my grace period is about to expire this coming August 01, 2015.

My question is do I need to exit if my new visa will not be release before or on the mentioned date?
Thank you,
Anj
Anjo,
You could change the status within UAE if your old company does not insist that you exit the country.

Hello,
I am under a unlimited contract and have completed two years of service with my current employer. However, as per the initial contract which i had signed with them I am eligible for 01 months notice period. However, my employer recently made us sign a paper with increment in the basic wage with mentioning a notice period to be 02 months?
Will this paper be accepted as part of my contract? Also, if yes and i would like resign with 01 month notice period and settle the 01 month will there be any problem if my employer is not accepting it???
Upasna,
Employers do use this tactic. It may be applicable as you have agreed.
Notice period as per UAE labour law is 1 month/30 days. However, it is also tweakable.
For example senior management staff may need to provide a longer notice period as their roles are strategic.
Yes, paying 1 month instead of an extra month of notice is possible if your company agrees to it.

Good Day!,
I am employed under a labour contract of unlimited period and already completed 1 year in my current company, now i wanted to resign is there any possibility that i can get a ban? i am resigning due to the delayed of salary.
Jhinna,
First of all you could file a complaint with MOL for delayed salaries.
Then MOL will take the decision.
I am a Chartered Accountant from India. My UAE Labour Law contract with my present company (Dubai) is an unlimited one, however there is one condition in the Offer letter initially signed by both me and the company, which is three months notice if I resign.
I want to know how many months notice I should give if I plan to change the company. Will I have to give one month notice as per UAE Labour law or three months’ notice as per the initial Offer terms in the company (internal) contract?
If it is three months, will I have to compensate the company if I give a lesser period of notice? How much will I have to pay as compensation? Please advise.
Navin,
If you have signed the contract which mentions the notice period, you need to abide by this.
however, labour contract has the final say in addition to UAE Labour law.
Yes, if you’d like lesser notice period and if company agrees to relieve you earlier, you must compensate employer for the remaining period.
Hi, I have an unlimited contact with my company and has served them for almost 9 years. I have renewed my contract 3 times already. My original contract has Art 127 clause and likewise should provide resignation notice for 6 months. Since I have renewed 3 times already can I just give resignation notice for 1 month and will Article 127 still be applicable?
Thanks.
Good afternoon. I wanted to ask about my situation. I am working in a private institution. I reported an incident about a sexual harassment with our company driver to the management but there was no action taken against the driver. I questioned the director about that but she got furious with me because i was questioning her for not giving a punishment to our driver. The meeting with my director became so intense and the director was insulting me already and was shouting and scoulding me. Because of this i informed her that i want to leave the company without any further notice. She accepted my resignation without notice and i handed over everything to her. Now, they wanted to cancel everything like labour contract and visa. I wanted to ask if i am entitled to have my end of benefits and my pending 45days annual leave. Kindly note that i have worked with them for 3 years and 3 months. Thanks
Gui,
You should get paid for the remaining annual leave in cash.
Also you should get paid with your gratuity.
Hi sir i got renewal visa for 3rd time contract last mont.the question is if ever i resign, do i need to pay the visa expense which they provided to me because my visa is still new or is there is minnimum months for me that i can quit a job with complete gratuity? Thanks
Sauda,
In any case you are not required to pay any visa costs to company.
You should receive gratuity after you complete 1 year in the company.
Hi sir,
I just want to ask. Let say I will finished my 2yrs next year May 2016 and I will renew it. Then after 2 to 3 months after my renewal I can find better job and I will resign for the first company. Either free zone or not.
Is there any ban on it? Or any amount to pay in company regarding my renewal process?
Kiz,
Under limited contract, you may face labour ban. But if you have unlimited contract you may not face labour ban.
Hi there,
I work work for a company however I am under my parents visa and insurance.
The contract is limited, i have just surpassed my probation period.
They had a temporary labour card made for me up until now, which they require parents documents to acquire a permanent card.
Can I resign from the position without a ban?
Will i still require to pay for the 45 days?
Does the contract bind me more than the labour card?
Can i get in trouble if i refuse to provide them with the necessary documents?
thank you
Brook,
If you complete your contract there won’t be labour ban.
Yes, you could resign.
Since it is a temporary contract, i don’t think penalty is applicable.
I am not sure about that!
Sorry I missed of asking this,
I signed a contract, that I have never read,because when I was signing, he hold the paper and only signed down in a small box,
I never saw what it is written, I dont know of job offer or contract,

I saw my contract in online, and read it theree
my worries is, inside the job offer and labour contract is the same of what is written?
How couldI know if I was signed?
Anna,
You can check your contract online at MOL website or through the MOL App.

2. No. But it needs to be cancelled officially.
3. Yes, you will need to server notice period as per the labour contract/UAE labour law.
Please is it possible for an employer to cancel an employee visa if the employee is not at fault.and there is no contract letter signed between both parties
April,
You have not provided any context. I can’t say anything!
Hi deepak. Just want to ask. How many days will be the cancellation of visa during ramadan? Is there any paper to sign for the cancellation?
Ms A,
Yes, you must sign cancellation letter yourself and your sponsor as well.
There is no separate rule for immigration process during Ramadan; the office timings may be different. It does not take more than a day to cancel the visa.
Dear Deepak,
I am professor by profession in management college and terminated with immediate effect on 11 June and on asking reason they told me course file not up to mark. Well i ma not only one there are many. Though when college quality team checked it was on of the good files but ERT visit of CAA pointed out many mistakes. Ok my first job in UAE so accepted because problem in files even in the professor teaching UAE from last 30 years. But i want to know if i am terminated with immediate effect then i am suppose to complete the course files even after termination. Though i have completed all but as i was not part of meeting held after me regarding the course files so i have made as per my earlier experiences. I have submitted my relieving forms signed by all Dan of college, HR, Administration and IT and also submitted my vise for cancellation and also given them my emirates id. I hope by today i.e. 75/7/15 my visa must has been cancelled.
As per my termination they wrote my 3 months salary only basic and house allowance but also 11 days salary, my tickets which i claimed long back, gratuity of 16 months, also some overtime teaching balance and also leave balance payment which is more then 30 days is due.
Now problem is as per ERT visit they find some mistakes in files now which i submitted them 11 days before and want to redo some things. Now i want to ask if i am obliged to redo it again as i got clearance from all departments also visa cancelled. Official mail disabled. Can they stop my payment once all formalities done. These issues are not only with me but all teachers if terminated or not. But my question what is the meaning of termination with immediate effect if they need perfect work.
Please Reply
Sonia,
After termination, you are not required to do. However, if you wish you could do.

I finished a two-year limited contract last July 01,2015. I already sent the required one month notice. My previous company wants me to extend for a week or more but i said no because i already got an offer from another company and the job is urgent. What can i do if they hold my cancellation process because i declined in extending a few days more?
Lian,
Companies can not extend this way without your agreement.
Dear Deepak,

Hi, I have joined a company on limited contract starting dated 05/01/2015 but the joining date is 28/11/2014. Due to pregnancy I want to resign, so from which date my probation period will be counted contract or joining, and if I will give a notice period of 1 month should I have to compensate to my employer.
Regards
Renuaka,
The joining date will start from the actual joining date!
Since you are breaking limited contract, you will need to compensate for 45 days to the company along with the notice period as per your contract.
Hi Deepak,
My Labour Contract is Going to Expire 2nd july 2015 i got offer so i gave resignation on 2nd june and mentioned one month notice period so my last working day is 2nd july .Now I am in Notice Period today(22-06-2015) my HR call me and he said he will send cancellation document i have to sign and replay it with my emirates id. i Know if i sign i have my ban.what my question is if company have rights to cancel my visa while i am in notice period
Abu,
I am not sure about this.
Have they cancelled your labour card?
hi deepak,
i am not sure they cancelled my labour card , but my labourcard is with me only before they never ask my labour card and i never sign any cancelation document. my hr ask labour card also i think its for cancelation. how can they do this , up to 9th july (my releving date extended) after contract completion also i am working but they want to cancel my visa before 2nd july its not fare. if they force me for cancelation what can i do can i go to labour court.
Abu,
I am confused with your query.
Hi Deepak,
I am working on limited contract which has already finished on 17th of June 2015. I have already mailed to my employer that i will not be continuing. But my visa is valid for next two months. Is it so that the company can hold me for two months till the visa expires or they have to cancel visa because the labour contract has finished. They are refusing to cancel my contract & visa as of now. I need to join another company in 2 weeks.
Cristo,
No, you contract ends the day your limited contract is expired.
So they have to cancel visa even though visa is valid for 2 months? Will there be any ban on visa.
Cristo,
Yes, visa needs to be cancelled if you have resigned as per Labour card date. There may be no ban on visa.
So they have to cancel visa even though visa is valid for 2 months? Will there be any ban on visa. or they can hold visa till 2 months
Repeat query!!
my labour card expired on july 30 my employment contract august 15 my residence id expired on october 19 what should i follow i want to resign now
Froilan,
You should follow your labour card expiry.
Hi Deepak!
I have been working for my company for two years and last year I received increment and they asked us to sign undertaking saying if I resigned before dec 2015 I should pay 12 months worth of the increase given to me last year (e.g. they gave 1000 so if i resigned now i will pay 12000). If we will not sign the undertaking then increase would not be credited. Is that even legal?
Plus, in my offer letter it states that if i resigned before three years i have to pay 4000.. So if I quit my job now I would pay 16000..
Please advise if I could leave my company without even paying this huge amount of money after all I worked for them. But this is not in my MOL contract.
Thanks!
Joyce,
Companies do make strange laws. However, only your labour contract is recognised in the court of law.

one of the employee on my arbab restaurant has resigned because he wanted to look another job ( he gave the resignation letter, but his contract is not finished yet ( he resigned in April 2015, the contract finished in November 2015 ), my arbab has cancelled him, my question is, now almost 30 days after the cancellation, and he is not exit , and seem he has no interest to exit, and he still not getting any new job. My question is, what if after 30 days he is not exit and not getting any new job, we are afraid that the restaurant has to pay some over stay fine due to his status, he hold the passport and he doesn’t cooperative with us, since we’ve been trying to contact him to ask him to exit. what should the company do regarding this situation ? and we don’t want to pay money for the mistake we don’t make, we just want to end our relation or anything related with him. thank you before.
Iqbal,
You could file complain with MOL and Police in this matter.

Iqbal,
Please do as MOL says.
I am under unlimited contract and working in the company for almost 8 months. I have resigned and handed to my employer my one month notice which my employer has accepted and signed. I would like to ask aside from the automatic labour ban, is the company can give me another 6 months ban? If the company give me another 6 months ban, how to lift the 1 year ban?
Manny,

Hai Deepak,
I am working as a project admnistrator in one company at ruwais since may 1st 2015. as per my contract the working hours is 8 hours and but here i am working from 6:30 AM to 5 to 6 PM. I ask them to reduce the time or to provide over time, but they refused and they said i should work as per projects timing and if you cant work you can resign. Still i didnt sign MOL contract, but medical and EID process finished already… Can you give me a suggession if i resign now i will have ban?? mine is dubai visa and salary is aed 7000
Fairoose,
How is it possible that you have not signed labour contract and have done medical and EID?
I think if you work for an Oil company, there is no labour approval.
Overtime is the right of employees.
Hello, we have one employee who works under Limited Contract. he resigned and his last working day will be on June 30th. He has 15 days annual leave and his service is no longer required in company. we asked him to take his annual leave days balance from 15th June to 30th June but he refused. Can an employer require an employee to take his leave days balance during the notice period.
Thanks
Fatima,
I do not think you can force somebody to take the leave balance after the resignation.
What is your company policy.
Labour law is not particular how you treat this.
Hi..
Kindly give me a clarification about.
1) How long I can stay in uae after cancellation of my visa..(after resignation in a unlimited contract, on probation period)
2) Do i get a labor ban?
3) How can I lift the labor ban?
4) If the accomodation is provided by company, can I stay there during the grace period after my visa cancellation
5) What if company terminated from my job without notice…during probation in unlimited contract..can I stay back for 30 days. Am I eligible for any compensation from employer? Do i get a labor ban? If the accomodation is provided by company, can I stay there during the grace period after termination.
Anand,
1. up to 30 days.
2. If you have not completed your contract, you will get labour ban.

Do i get paid for the month of April? If not what about the 04 days of the month of April? Also, i was absent for two days, but the company’s accountant say’s i got a ‘fine’ for one extra day?
Kindly suggest.
Thanks.

Hi Deepak,
Actually I am planning to resign from my Company in Abu Dhabi, its been 9 Months working with them and i m under LIMITED contract with them ?
Do i have to give only one month notice period to resign ? or do i have to pay them any thing while resigning as i was reading in some other articles ?
Salman,
Notice period as mentioned in Labour contract.
You will also face ban and may have to compensate employer for breaking limited contract.
I’m currently in my 4th month in the company as an Accountant. My contract is unlimited and I filed my resignation yesterday but they did not accept the letter. I got a job offer from SAIF. I would like to ask some questions:
1.) Am i required to render 1 month notice period? my employer is insisting of a minimum of two months before I can resign but it is not stated in my contract.
2.) If I don’t serve the one month notice period will I get the one year ban as claimed by my employer that they will do? Will that stop me from working in SAIF?
3.) What can I do as they will not sign or accept the resignation letter that I have sent to them?
Thank you
Ian,
1. You will follow UAE Labour Law with regard to Notice period if it is not mentioned in your contract.
2. You will in any case have a labour ban. But you could work in Free zone companies.
3. You have no choice but to request the company to accept your resignation.
I am working here from two months. if I want to leave my job and shift into another country then what would be the procedure. Because Here job is not good and i also want a good salary, no matter what type of work is!

Hi!
I just would like to ask if there is any problem if submitting a letter of non-renewal few days before the labor contracts expires? I am actually having my vacation leave on June 5 and going back to work on July 6 and my labor contract will end on July 14. Will there be any complications for this?
Hi!
I just would like to ask if there is any problem if submitting a letter of non-renewal few days before the labor contracts expires? I am actually having my vacation leave on June 5 and going back to work on July 6 and my labor contract will end on July 14. I am planning to submit my letter on the day when I get back to work. Will there be any complications for this? Should I submit my letter of non-renewal a month before my labor contract expires?
Reyan,
You have to submit a proper resignation letter and serve the notice period as per the contract
Should I submit a letter of resignation? As far as i know it should be a letter of non-renewal right? Or Is there no difference between the two? So there will be no problem if I’m serving my notice period even if my contract has been already expired?
Reyan,
It is one and the same.
Hi,
I am currently under probation on a LLC company with unlimited contract. I submitted my resignation but it was rejected, then I sent it again through email and still got a reply of rejection.
Can you please advise what to do?
and i got an offer in a freezone company.
i sent the resignation letter on 19th of may, since they are rejecting it, will it be advisable to complain as early as now to the MOL?
Mar,
Organisations can not do such a thing. If the employee would like to resign they can not hold them.
Hi..
I just to ask regarding resignation under limited contract working five months. What is the process they will allow find other job. How much the cost to pay the company.
Guide please
Thank you
Mary,
You will have to apply for jobs with companies. There is no exact procedure.
You do not have to pay any cost to the company.
Hello Deepak.. Thanks for your prompt reply. Just few more queries… Does the resignation letter sent by email can be use as a proof as per UAE law? (HR didn’t acknowledge the letter on same day). HR acknowledged the letter on 19th May only. Kindly advise..
Remjith,
HR should mention while acknowledging like ” your resignation dated 19 May 2015″
Hello Deepak,
I have submitted my resignation letter to my employer through email on 27th April 2015. In the resignation letter I have indicated the notice period as 26th May 2015. (30 days as per employment contract). But when I tried to follow up today (19th May) for my release, they are not releasing me on the said notice date. My department manager has signed in my resignation letter (signed date is 19th May) on today only. HR is saying they can count the notice date from today only. Can you please advise how I can relieved on the said notice period from my employer (I.e., 26th May). Or I have to continue till 18th June as per the signed date in resignation letter. ?
Renjith,
If you have the proof that you have submitted your resignation, your HR should have notified of your notice period and last working day.
If they have failed to do that and the delay is from their side, I see no reason why they should relieve you.
It will depend on you whether you would like to continue till 18th June! Please speak also to MOL.
I am employed under a labour contract but i just got terminated affer three months with NOC letter, please can i still find job on labour? please need advice.
King,
After the cancellation of your visa, you have up to 30 days to stay in UAE to look for a job.
Hi,
I am currently in probation in an LLC company in Burdubai. I want to leave this company because i dont like the environment. I am getting a 5500AED salary from here. I have a job offer from Jabel Ali Free Zone Company of Arround 7200 AED.
The company is not letting me go, can you please tell me how can i get my visa canceled if the employers insist on not processing my visa cancellation. I am an MBA with attested degree
I would appreciated your help on this.
Cheers
Salman,
Companies can’t hold cancellation.
You should file a complaint with MOL in this regard.
One last thing, If they don’t provide me NOC, even if they decide to get my cancellation done. Will i be liable to a ban? If i am looking to switch to Jabel ALi FreeZone Company.
Salman,
Labour ban will be applicable automatically if you do not complete your contract.
If you plan to join JAFZA based free zone compamnies, labour ban is not applicable.

Diana,
It is better to complete your contract and then leave.
Make sure you resign with notice period in mind.
Refer to Article 117,118 of UAE Labour Law.

Hello Deepak,
Two queries for yourself to kindly help with:
1. In what cases is this labour ban applicable, please?
2. If a resignation has been submitted by a confirmed employee on an unlimited contract with 7 years of work-ex with the same company, is this employee entitled to take some accrued days of annual leave during her notice period or is this illegal?
Thanks,
AKG,
1. Please read about Bans
2. Yes, notice period is also considered for accumulation of leave.

Dear Deepak,
After working 15 months with my company under i have resigned with one month notice period as per Labour Law. I submitted the resignation on 30th march and i wish to serve the notice from 1st April to 30 April , however my manager has accepted the resignation on 2nd April and written last working day 7th April.
Please advise me if my employer is liable to pay my salary till 7th April or as per the notice period for full month. What is the UAE labour law says about it in case if the employer is not accepting my notice period and releasing me before time.
Abid,
Yes, they should pay you till the last day of work.
I have worked as a Manager for a company twenty plus years and have submitted my resignation with 30 days notice. Already 15 days have passed and my company has not accepted my resignation up to now. There is an investigation going on with in the company at the moment against some senior employees who are under suspension now. I have had nothing to do with any of those investigations in any way.
Can my company stop me from resigning or is there a law in UAE where it says no employee can resign when there is an on going investigation with i a company. Please advise. Thank you
Umesh,
No, your company can not stop you from resigning unless there is a charge against you.
UAE Labour Law does not explicitly mention these details. However, companies are required to respect the notice period.
hi. i resigned from my current company because i will be working in another company and gave 1 month notice. they have accepted it. but it is only a week left and they have not found my replacement yet. and they asked me to stay for few more weeks. the company i will be joining does not accept the “few more weeks” late in joining them. is it legal if my current company does not cancel my visa after the notice period which they accepted. note: the current company gave me a “letter of acceptance of resignation”
thanks
Gina,
Your current company should relieve you within 1 month after your notice period.
Dear Deepak,
please clarify me few things. i had resigned from a company within 4months since joining. i was not in company visa. and also probationary period was not completed. now i got another job. will the old employer can create any issues? and also, for Freezone and non-freezone employees, what’s the minimum duration for work after the confirmation received.?
Rekha,
sorry, you query is confusing to me! Not clear.
Did you have labour card. If yes, there may be labour ban.
hi, I have a One year labor ban, my contract is Unlimited. I worked with them for 4 months only. I filed a complaint at MOL cuz they don’t want to cancel my visa and give my passport. however, Im wondering can I still look for a job in a FREEZONE company even if I have a 1 year ban?
Sherry,
If you have 1 year labour ban, yes, you could work in free zones.
Dear Deepak,
I have completed 22 months and given a resignation of one month. One month period completed but still employer is refused to cancel my visa. Can i approach a labour department. Will be any ban applicable for me. I have an engineer visa + my new offered salary is 15000.
Nilmann,
Yes, you could approach MOL.
As per your new salary, you will not face any labour ban.
HI Sir,
I am working with Free zone LLC IT company in Dubai Internet city. I have VISA of 3 years and also my employer signed one contract with me that if i resigned before 3 years then i have to pay bond breaking amount . and official notice period which is mentioned in offer letter is 30 days.
I have completed 9 month and want to resign from this company . just want to ask after paying this bond breaking amount and 30 days notice period . will they allow me me to go or they can also create a problem because i am fearing it is small company they dont have any policy and procedures.
and still my 18 Days leave are pending as per the offer letter 2 days per month. will they pay me for this or can they count this leave as my notice period days.
I want your suggestion before i resign.
Please suggest .
will the hope of positive result .Thanks.
Ricky,
They have no legal way to keep you waiting after you have fulfilled their requirements.
The leave encashment depends on the company policies. Some companies pay and others do not pay!
You should ask your HR.
Thank for the reply,
as this is new company there is no policy . what should i do in this.
