Working below 1 year?

Q: Does anyone knows about the consequences of working and resigning from work in UAE in less than a year? Shall the employee pay for anything?

A: It depend on your contract. In case you have a limited contract you should fulfill your time or have to face a one year ban. In case of an unlimited contract your company may charge you for compensation. Regarding to the new Labour Law now you can leave your company by not completed a year's service and transfer to another employer after obtaining a NOC from your present employer to transfer the visa to another employer, provided that the newly imposed fees should be settled. Such fees are called "the one year non-completion fees" which is calculated at the rate of Dh500 per month. For instance, if youcontinue a period of two months service only then you would be obliged to pay a fee of Dh5,000 for 10 months. Take care.
