What We Find

Contract missing the 30-day grace period after visa cancellation. Under current UAE law, you get 30 days to find new employment or arrange departure.
Immediate Visa Cancellation Threat
Clauses threatening same-day visa cancellation upon termination. Employers must follow the legal process which includes notice periods and grace periods.
Final Settlement Withholding
