Document background
The Resignation Agreement is a crucial document used in the United Arab Emirates when an employee voluntarily terminates their employment relationship. It must comply with Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 (UAE Labor Law) and is designed to protect both employer and employee interests during the separation process. This document becomes necessary when an employee submits their resignation and both parties wish to formally document the terms of separation, including notice period, final settlements, and any continuing obligations. It's particularly important in the UAE context due to specific legal requirements regarding end-of-service benefits, visa cancellation procedures for expatriate employees, and the strict labor law framework that governs employment relationships. The agreement helps prevent future disputes by clearly documenting all aspects of the employment termination.
