My friend has been working for a contracting company as an assistant engineer on an unlimited contract since 2007. His total monthly salary is Dh8,500 but he found another job with another company offering him Dh14,000 per month.

Will there be a ban against him because his visa with the present company will not expire for another year? Can he immediately transfer after sending his resignation in one month? Will the present company have the right to stop him from proceeding to transfer to another company?
Answer
Under the new regulation of UAE Labour Law, employers are no more empowered to impose a ban or stop an employee from joining others if the person has completed two years of employment. Any employee who has completed two years with a company can resign and join another company without a ban. Since your friend has served more than two years with his current employer, he can resign from his current company any time with 30 days’ prior notice as per Article 117 of the UAE Labour Law, or otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions provided in your friend’s employment contract.
