Resignation from a UAE job is a matter discussed mostly by the expatriates. The following section provides clarifications on the matters that will affect an individual who has given resignation under limited contract.
Question: My limited contract expires in this month. Can I give resignation now?
Answer: Yes, you can now submit your resignation from the job.
Question: I am working in a private company in Dubai for last four years. Do I need a NOC (no-objection certificate) from this company to join another company?
Answer: As per the rules of Ministry of Labour; a no-objection certificate is not required for work permit in the new company. Since the employee has completed more than two years in service, he can join another company with out any labour ban.
Question: Is it mandatory for the person to serve notice period after giving resignation letter?
Answer: The employee is not necessary to serve a notice period because the employment contract is a limited one.
Question: The offer letter stated that my gross salary will be Dh12,000, plus accommodation provided by the company. But the labour contract from the Ministry of Labour signed by me and sponsor shows salary as Dh8,000 plus accommodation. Will there any problem with this at the time of final settlement after resignation under limited contract?
Answer: There will not be any problem with this. The final settlemet should be made as per the last salary drawn by you. You can prove this in court or labour ministry that you were paid a salary more than that mentioned in the employment contract.
You can submit bank statements and pay slip copy (if you receive any) as proof of higher salary.
Question: I started working at a UAE company in Feb-2010 on a visit visa and company residence visa was stamped only in Mar-2010. What is the period for which my gratuity amount will be calculated? Is it from the day I started working or from the day my visa is stamped by the company and signing of the labour contract.
Answer: The working period will be calculated by the court or labour ministry starting from the first day the worker has joined the company. Gratuity is calculated based on the last gross salary received by the worker instead of the salary mentioned in the employment contract. End-of-service gratuity is calculated on the basis of 21 days for each year of service for persons who have completed more than 3 years in a company. Resigning from the job after the completion of a limited contract is not a violation as per the labour law.
Question: I am working under a limited period employment contract for 3 years and I have asked my company not to renew the same. Then who should pay the costs of my return ticket to home country?
Answer: As per the ARTICLE (131) of UAE Labour Law: The expenses incurred for repatriation of an employee to his home country or any other place agreed upon by both parties shall be borne by the employer. If the employer failed to do so, then the competent authorities should do this at the employer’s expense by way of attachment.
If the cause for termination of contract is due to the employee reasons like fraud,cheating the company, etc then his repatriation must be arranged at his own expense if he has the mean to pay.
If you have completed your limited period contract and don’t want to renew the same then the employer is obliged to pay your return tickets.

I've been working to my employer since 2009 for unlimited visa. I have taken vacation last 2012 of January. I suppose to turn 5years of serving my company on August but I'm planning to file a resignation this month May 2014. I would like to ask if I am eligible for free ticket and what would be a computation for my gratuity. Thank you
ReplyDeleteYou shall be eligible for one way ticket to your home country. Gratuity will be given as 21 day's salary for each year for the first five years. 30 day's salary for each additional year on condition that the total amount of the gratuity shall not exceed the wages of two years. Gratuity is calculated on an annual basis. The days of absence from work without pay will not be included in calculating the length of service.

ReplyDeleteI am working a semi-marine company in Dubai as a general electrical Engineer under an limited contract From last two years and the contract will expire on 24th of this month, My labour contract prohibits me from taking up a new employment with a competitor of my current employer within the UAE for a period of two year after termination of my current employment in accordance with Article 127. Will this cause a ban for me if I resign from this company? Please clarify Article 127. Because I got a one good offer from a company, they are also work as related as my present company. We both singed the appointment letter with the new company, and now i submitted resignation and now i am in notice period in my present company. Is there is any problem to work with that new company, if any problem how to overcome that. and also is there is any ban for me?
