Force Resignation & UAE Labour Law
Asalm-oa-likum, Hello &
Marhaba to all UAE Fellows, hope everything is going well, A special hello to our Filipino Fans as they are visiting us on daily basis to check out latest updates.
Today we are here with short article regarding Force Resignation by Employer in UAE (Company) as we have been asked by our visitors that:
Can company force employee to resign from his/her Job?
As per the UAE Labour Law, no employee
can be forced to resign.
If you
submit your resignation, it will only make the employer’s case stronger in a
legal dispute. In addition, the end-of-service gratuity will be less, it will
be calculated as one-third of his one month’s salary for every year served.
As for
the notice period, the labour law obliges all parties (worker and employer) to
submit notice to each other if one wishes to terminate the unlimited labour
contract; the period of notice as per the Labour Law shall be not less than one
month, but both parties may agree to increase this period.
The
notice period shall be effective from the date of resignation or the
termination of the labour contract by either party.
Therefore,
if the company fires the employee, the employee may claim his rights which are
specified by the Labour Law and also has the right to ask the court concerned
for a compensation for the arbitrary dismissal if he could prove that the
company has fired him not as per the UAE Labour Law.
What to do if Employer or Company cancel your contract?
In case
your contract is cancelled by your company, your employer (company) shall be
Liable to compensate the Employee (worker) with 3 months of remuneration
(payment).
As per
Article 115 of Labor Law: “Where an employment contract is for a definite
term and the employer revokes it for reasons other than those specified in
Article 120 he shall be required to compensate the worker for any damage the
latter sustains, provided that the amount of compensation shall in no case
exceed the aggregate wage due for a period of three months or the remaining
period of the contract, whichever is shorter, unless otherwise stipulated in
the contract.”
What to do if Employee want to cancel his/her contract before completing 1 Year?
In case
of breach by the employee (worker) the employee (worker) shall be liable to
compensate the employer for up to half the employee’s remuneration for 3
months.
As per Article
116 of Labor Law: “Where a contract is revoked by the worker for reasons
other than those specified in Article 121, he shall be required to compensate
the employer for any damage the latter sustains as a result, provided that the
amount of compensation shall not exceed half a month wage for three months or
for the remaining period of the contract, whichever is shorter, unless
otherwise stipulated in the contract.”

ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeleteI am Cameroonian and I am employed by the company G4s as a cleaner since September 2017.
I gave birth prematurely in April 2018 and the company allowed me to continue to reside with baby in accommodation, while I proceeded to establish the papers for the child, since before my delivery I cleaned one of the accommodations, the company allowed me to continue doing my work in the accommodation where I lived. To prepare the documents for my child, it took me a lot of time than expected, because my country does not have a consulate here in the UAE, so last month the company's PRO asked me to leave the country. accommodation and he called immigration to cancel my visa if I did not do it.
Then he filed a complaint against me in the labor, and there I explained why the documents were taking too much time, and that I did not have a family here and did not know where to live, and if, despite everything, I leaving the accommodation, I could not work because I had no one to take care of my baby ... so it was agreed that I had to write a letter of resignation and that the company had to pay me my ticket plane and my fees.
But after a week, they told me that since I had resigned, they would not pay me anything but a month's salary and since then they have not beckoned me and they refuse to give me my passport.
What do I have to do ? Thank you for answering me
Why can't you called the labour to solve the issue
