'Do I need to give notice or pay a penalty if I leave during my probation in the UAE?'

An individual in Dubai who began working in March and is considering leaving during their six-month probation period asks whether they need to provide notice, face penalties, or risk a travel ban. According to UAE Labour Law, employees must provide written notice before resigning, either 30 days if staying in the country or 14 days if leaving. Employers cannot charge employees for resignation-related costs. However, a labour ban could occur if the employee does not serve the required notice, absconds from work, or is linked to a fake company. Another individual in Abu Dhabi with a travel ban due to unpaid debts is informed that opening a standard bank account is not possible while the ban remains active.
