Unlawful Termination in the UAE: When Can an Employee Claim Compensation?

Unlawful Termination in the UAE: When Can an Employee Claim Compensation?

Legal overview

Article 47 of the Labour Relations Law addresses termination linked to a serious complaint to the ministry or a lawsuit against the employer that is established to be valid. The connection between the complaint or claim and the dismissal must be assessed.

Practical steps

Preserve the complaint, termination notice and chronology. Review wages, notice pay, accrued leave and gratuity separately, and identify the employment regime and dispute authority.

Official sources

General legal information. Individual cases require review of the documents and applicable law.
