Navigating Immediate Resignation in Dubai Free Zone: What Are My Rights and Obligations?

I need help with the process of resigning from my company in Dubai Free Zone. I have only completed 6 months and would like to resign due to a family emergency in my country. Please explain the process for the cancellation of my visa and provide information on the following queries:

1. Do I need to give a 30-day notice before I can leave? My reason is an emergency, and I would like to resign immediately. What will be the consequence if I do not complete the 30 days?

2. Who will cover my plane ticket and cancellation fees?

3. Do I need to pay anything to my employer for not completing at least 1 year?

4. Will I receive any gratuity pay for my 5 months of work?

Note: Honestly, my company doesn't have a good management system. There are no policies, which is why I don't know what to expect from them.

Hoping for your help.

Kindest regards,

Probation Period and Resignation Inquiry

It is mentioned in the contract that the probation period is 3 months, with a maximum of 6 months. Also, if you don't complete the two years, you should pay the employer 10,000 DHS; this amount could decrease or increase.

My question is, am I still in the probation period? How can I take an immediate resignation?

Regards,

Actually, I am confused because I'm holding two contracts. One is from the free zone, and the second is from the company (the probation period is mentioned only in the free zone contract). Please help me with this. 

Resignation and Probationary Period in Media City

Media City follows the Ministry of Law. In case the employee wants to resign before completing their probationary period, they can do so (Media City contract clause 2).

Resignation After Probationary Period

However, if you have already completed your probationary period and want to resign, you need to give one month's notice. If you can't provide the notice, you will need to pay that amount to the company.

Visa Costs and Labor Law

Additionally, you will be charged for your visa cost as per labor law article 116 because you didn't complete one year.

Ticket Provision Upon Resignation

Finally, the company won't provide you with a ticket as it's a resignation from your side (Labor Law article 131).
