Exactly. From Freezone to Freezone you should be fine even if you havent finished one year.

Looks like I'm not completely out of the woods yet - my fate shall lie in the following clause in Article 2, "The provisions of this law shall not apply to companies incorporated in the free zones of the State with regard to what is governed by a special text in the regulation of the concerned free zone other than acquiring the nationality of the State".

Gosh, I wish I know exactly what that means...different fz having slightly different regulations etc. No wonder this labour law thing is such a maze.

By the way, there is no intention to transfer my visa but to cancel instead and re-apply by the new fz company. Hence, the 12-month tenure should not be a violation for cancellation as there is no such rule, right?

thats why you have to find out what contract you are on, if it's limited then its a material breach of contract (and subject to the penalities), if its unlimited then its simply (premature) termination of the contract under the conditions provided for in the law

In the Federal Law on Trading Companies (Law 8 of 1984).
Federal Law no. 15 of 1998 amending Federal Law no. 8 of 1984.

"Article 2
The provisions of this law shall not apply to companies incorporated in the free zones of the State with regard to what is governed by a special text in the regulation of the concerned free zone other than acquiring the nationality of the State"

i was going to write an explaination on this, but confused myself in the process.

basically i think it says (these are my words now...) ... the provisions of this law shall not apply to companies incorporated in the free zones of the State (UAE), other than the particular free zone assuming the nationality of the State (UAE); regulations of the free zone shall be drafted and regulated by independant statutes of the particular free zone.

I would like to thank all for clearing many doubts about UAE Labor law.

I am an Engineer(own an Engineer resident Visa) and came here in August 2006, and would like to quit the present job before completing 1 year.What about the consequences after i cancel my present Visa. Will i get a ban ? If yes, for how long will it be ? 6 months or 1 year? My contract is limited for 3 years.

If I cancel my visa after completing 1 year, will there be any ban for me?If yes, what is the duration of the ban?

6 months or 1 year? If i get 1 year ban , can enter into UAE by visit visa, within this period?

one more..If the employer dismisses me from the present job (Let it be before or after completing 1 year service), will there any ban for me? If yes, can you give me the details about that?

Is there any difference between laws for Professionals & other categories? Where can i get the updated information about these? Can you give me the contact number or email of any help desk regarding these, either from the goverment side( Labor ministry) or Newspapers like Gulf news ?

These could be helpful, I don't know because I haven't read through everything carefully -

1) http://www.mol.gov.ae/pages-EN/document ... e-en.htm#e

I found it by going to http://www.dubai.ae/en.portal , then choosing Employment > Ministry of Labour Procedure Guide from the menus

2) http://www.mol.gov.ae/Pages-EN/document ... abour.HTML

I found it by going to http://www.mol.gov.ae/index_en.aspx and choosing Labour Law from the menu

3) http://www.mol.gov.ae/Pages-en/document ... e11-en.htm

I found it by going to the same Ministry of Labour site as above, but choosing Instructions for Foreign Labourer > Transfer of Sponsorship
