The UAE is all set to create a better, more secure work environment from the new year. There will be no more harassment and manipulation of terms by employers of blue-collar workers.
From January 2016, a new set of labour laws will be enforced in the country.
Issued by Saqr Ghobash Saeed Ghobash, Minister of Labour, the new laws pertain to employment contracts, ending job contracts and granting workers new labour permits so they can shift to a different company after the lapse of a contract with his/her previous company.
Terms of sackingThe new ministerial orders contain a segment on the ending of a labour relationship between employer and employee, that is, when and how you can get sacked. > When the limited period contract expires and is not renewed > When the two parties agree to terminate the contract while it is still valid > When the employee at his own discretion decides to terminate the contract upon being renewed, or under any other circumstance abiding by the legal procedures specified > When the employee decides to end the relation single-handedly upon renewing the contract or under other circumstance abiding by the legal procedures specified > When the employer or employee decides to terminate the contract without observing the specified legal measures, and without the other party being a reason for terminating the labour relationship; > When the employer brings the labour relationship with the employee to an end due to the latter's commission of a violation mentioned in article No (120) of the labour law. In the case of an open-ended employment contract (of unlimited duration) the labour relationship could be terminated in four cases: > When the contract is terminated at the agreement of both parties: employee and employer. > When one party is willing to end the labour relationship, a notice letter must be served to the other party. During this notice period, original terms of the employment contract still apply. > When the employer or employee decides, single-handedly, to terminate the contract without sticking to the legal measure streamlining that, and without the other party being a reason for ending the relationship. > The employer ends the contractual relationship with the employee when the latter commits a violation mentioned in article No (120) of the law governing labour relationship. |
