Some Information about Dubai Laws

Just thought I'd let everyone who doesn't already know, know that: A working contract by law should include: 1. 30 days off excluding national and public holidays per year 2. Return air ticket to your home country each year 3. Severance allowance is calculated as : 7 days of basic salary during first 3 years of work. 14 days of basic salary during first 5 years of work. 21 days of basic salary for 6 years and above. Thats what you get as a bonus when your contract is terminated. Cheers, Dani A.

that is between you and your employer. By law it should at least be to your home country. Regards, D

I was looking at this link: http://www.mol.gov.ae/Pages-EN/documents-en/rule-labour.HTML#p and i quote: SECTION II Severance Pay Article 132 A worker who has completed one or more years of continuous service shall be entitled to severance pay at the end of his employment. The days of absence from work without pay shall not be included in calculating the period of service. The severance pay shall be calculated as follows: 1. 21 days' wage for each of the first five years of service. 2. 30 days’ wage for each additional year of service provided always that the aggregate amount of severance pay should not exceed two year's wage. was the law changed ?

Quote: Article 137 Where a worker under an indefinite term contract abandons his work at his own initiative after a continuous service of not less than one year and not more than three years, he shall be entitled to one-third of the severance pay provided for in the preceding article. Such a worker shall be entitled to two thirds of the said severance pay if his continuous service exceeds three years up to five years, and to the full severance pay if it exceeds five years.
