Document background
The Termination Letter During Probation is a crucial document used by employers in the United Arab Emirates when deciding to end employment during an employee's probationary period. It must comply with UAE Labor Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021), which stipulates specific requirements including a mandatory 14-day notice period. This document is typically used within the first six months of employment (maximum probation period under UAE law) when either the employer determines the employee is not suitable for the role or cannot meet job requirements. The letter must include essential elements such as clear termination statement, notice period dates, final settlement information, and any requirements for company property return or work handover. It serves as both a legal record and formal communication tool, protecting both employer and employee interests while ensuring compliance with UAE employment regulations.
