Employers in the UAE retain the legal right to require an employee to serve the agreed notice period even when the termination is based on redundancy, under the country’s current labour framework.
The issue is governed by Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 on the Regulation of Labour Relations, which clearly states that either party to an employment contract may terminate the agreement for a legitimate reason, provided written notice is given and work continues during the notice period specified in the contract. The law does not recognise redundancy as a valid ground for an employee to refuse to work during this period.
