Know Your Rights
UAE Federal Labour Law grants every employee — regardless of nationality — a strong set of rights. Here are the key ones expats often don't know about:
You are entitled to 30–90 days notice (depending on contract) or full payment in lieu if terminated without notice.
21 days' basic salary per year for the first 5 years, 30 days per year thereafter. Payable upon termination or resignation.
If terminated (not resigned), your employer must provide or pay for a repatriation flight to your home country.
Any unused annual leave must be paid out on termination — calculated on basic salary basis.
If terminated without valid reason, you can claim up to 3 months' total salary as compensation for arbitrary dismissal.
