Document background
The Letter of Retrenchment Template is designed for use in the United Arab Emirates when organizations need to implement workforce reductions due to economic, structural, or operational reasons. This document type is essential for ensuring compliance with UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 and related employment regulations while managing the sensitive process of employee termination due to redundancy. The template provides a structured framework for communicating the retrenchment decision, outlining notice periods, detailing final settlements, and addressing end-of-service benefits as required by UAE law. It is particularly crucial in the current economic climate where businesses may need to restructure their operations while maintaining legal compliance and professional standards in the UAE market.
