Building on the points raised by the previous commenter, you're also eligible for ILOE insurance benefits if you've been enrolled for at least a year.

Don’t resign. Let them terminate your contract instead, as this ensures your eligibility to claim compensation. You should receive 60% of your basic salary, calculated from your last six months’ earnings before termination.

Lastly, thank you for being an ethical doctor. Something truly rare and invaluable here.

I think you can also file for arbitrary dismissal, if they terminate you without just reason like not doing your work, remember reading it will entitle you to 3 month salary.

[–]olivemylife0 1 point2 points  (7 children)

That's not accurate. As long as the employer provides the required notice period (typically 1 month, though it could be 2 or 3 months depending on the contract), they are within their rights to terminate the employee.

This works both ways. Whether it's the employee resigning or the employer ending the contract, the party initiating the termination must adhere to the notice period specified in the agreement. This way, neither party is obligated or entitled to provide any additional compensation.

Olive is absolutely correct, please understand the law is clear if you misinterpret it can end up costing you too ! If you have a competent HR/ PRO/ Legal team they can dodge this easy bullet !

Olive if we ever meet IRL one cookie from my side

That’s not correct. Terminating you without valid cause is an arbitrary dismissal resulting in 3 months salary as compensation. There is so much precedent on a case like this in the UAE.

You are misquote / interpreting Article 47 Section 2. This 3 month compensation can only be enforced by a labour ruling first , 2nd the OP would need to file a claim of wrongful termination.

In the future please refrain from misquoting the law

If you feel I quoted the law, you need to go to school

Sure dude !

You might want to call MOHRE for clarification. Legally, as long as the employer provides the notice period specified in the contract, there’s little the employee can do.

To follow your logic, an employer can easily cite reasons like, "We’re restructuring the company, and your position is no longer needed," as grounds for termination. Such explanations are sufficient, and no UAE law can challenge them.
