Hi Amy, please consult a lawyer. My advice can be misleading because I am not a legal expert.

I joind a Dubai Free Zone company. The contract was for a limited period of 2 years.

Suddenly, I received a termination notice with 30 days as notice period. I have handover charge, but the company has not yet paid my salary and other dues including Ex-gratia, Tickets, annual leave and gratuity, which
was mentioned in the employment letter.

The Termination notice was issued after 9 months of my joining.

Please advise,
a. what Iam entitiled to
b. What I can claim and what is the procedure

Hi Ruby, the law in Dubai especially labour law is a joke. If they want to screew you they will. You can go to court etc but that will be complicated. Wish you good luck!

Hi Lauren, I believe this too late for you…. Hope you managed to find information somewhere else. The offer sounds pretty decent. Especially the leave!

Hi, this is a great website with lots of feedback.
I just signed a contract with a UK company in Dubai starting 1 April. I have given notice to my current employeer that I have been with years and feel vonourble as I have heard some cases in dubai where people have signed contracts and then the job never happend and left them in shit. How secure is it when both parties have signed of the contract, can the new employeer change thier mind and terminate it before I start? and if so are they obliged by UAE Labor law to pay out 3 months salary for compensation as it states on my contract that both parties have to give 3 months notice?? I am sure that this will not happen but I just want to make what my rights are just in case it happens.
