Frequently Asked Question
Six month ban
Q: I work as a mechanical engineer in Abu Dhabi. I have
completed nine months in service. I am planning to change my job. I received a better
job offer from a Jebel Ali Free Zone Company. I have not completed two years in
service. Will a six-month labour ban be enforced even if the new job is in a
free zone company? Is there a way to lift the ban?
A: Since you have not completed two years with your current
employer, a ban for the period of six months will be automatically imposed on
you by the Ministry of Labour.
Furthermore, avoiding a ban does not depend upon the
designation of employment; rather it depends upon the qualification and the new
salary offered.
If your qualification and new salary offered falls under any
of the below categories as mentioned in the Cabinet Resolution No 25 of 2010
regarding internal work permit at the Ministry of Labour, then, you may join
your new job without any ban. The cabinet Resolutions states:
In order to remove the ban, an employee must prove
qualifications by presenting a duly attested educational certificate as
mentioned herein:
i) If an employee holds a university degree (master), and
earns a minimum of Dh12,000 per month;
ii) If an employee holds a Diploma (post secondary) and
earns a minimum of Dh7,000 per month; and
(iii) If an employee has passed high school and earns a minimum
of Dh5,000 per month. (KT)
