Document background
The Letter of Resignation Due to Relocation is a crucial document used when an employee needs to formally terminate their employment contract in the UAE due to geographic relocation. This document must comply with UAE Labor Law requirements, particularly regarding notice periods and proper termination procedures. It serves as official documentation of the employee's intention to end their employment, typically providing the mandatory minimum 30-day notice period (as per UAE Labor Law), unless otherwise specified in the employment contract. The letter should be professional and clear, maintaining good relationships while ensuring legal compliance. It's particularly important in the UAE context due to visa implications and end of service benefit calculations. The document typically includes the resignation date, last working day, reason for departure, handover commitments, and may also address visa cancellation procedures.
