Document background
An Intent to Quit Letter is a crucial document in the UAE employment landscape, governed by UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021. This document is required when an employee decides to voluntarily terminate their employment relationship with their employer. The letter must be drafted in accordance with UAE Labor Law requirements, including proper notice periods, typically minimum 30 days unless the employment contract specifies otherwise. The Intent to Quit Letter serves multiple purposes: it formally documents the employee's decision to resign, initiates the notice period, and provides a basis for calculating end-of-service benefits. It should be professionally written, clearly stating the resignation date, notice period, and handover commitments. The document is particularly important in the UAE context as it helps ensure compliance with local labor regulations and protects both employer and employee rights during the resignation process.
