  3. Labor Ban • The limited contract is signed between the employer(company) and employee which is bound to expire on the date of the expiry of the contract and is for a fixed term of time (usually 2 years).

It can only be terminated mid-way by the employee if there is a mutual agreement between the employee and employer. • Absconding: If an employee absconds from work for a prescribed period of time as mentioned in labor law without informing the employer. If absconding has been reported by the employer the employee cannot work in the country for a year from the time of reporting. • Resignation without notice: if an employee resigns and do not serve notice, the employer could request the MOHRE for a labor ban. There are only two situations wherein an employee can resign without notice as per Section 14 of the UAE Labor Law – if the employer has failed to serve his obligation or if the employee was assaulted by the employer or his legal representatives. In limited contracts, resignation before the end of the contract is considered a breach.
