UAE: Termination rules during job probation period revised

The UAE on Monday issued a new decree to regulate labour relations in the private sector across different work models, including part-time and temporary work, along with safeguarding employee rights and introducing new leaves policy.

According to the new laws, private sector companies cannot terminate employees during probation without a 14-day written notice, as per the new labour laws that will be effective from February 2, 2022.

The new law also prohibits employers from confiscating the employee’s official documents or charging workers recruitment costs directly or indirectly.
