How to eSign a document: e-signature legality for Business Termination Contract in UAE

last week we looked at three main provisions of the UAE labor law which included working hours official leaves and the wage protection system this week we look at two more which guarantee our rights as employees in the UAE and protect us from any violations let's start with insurance Abu Dhabi and Dubai applies compulsory insurance coverage for all employees nationals as well as expatriates residents now the scope of insurance varies depending on the employee salary job position and other matters in Abu Dhabi employers must provide health insurance for their employees as well as their families which includes a wife no more than three children under the age of 18 the Dubai government however requires employers to provide health insurance only for the employees without their families now let's look at what happens in cases of an injury or death at workplace the UAE labor law has it covered god forbid if this happens the compensation will be equal to the basic wage of the worker for 24 months provided that the amount of compensation is not less than 18 thousand dirhams or not more than 35,000 their hands now the amount of compensation is calculated on the basis of the last wage received by the worker prior to his death now here's a slightly complex one end of service calculation if you've just joined the company like me then you probably remember being overloaded with figures and percentages when your HR was taking you through the end of service monetary benefits let me explain to you what the labor law actually says in the private sector there are two main types of contracts fixed term and indefinite contracts for a fixed term contract a worker who has been employed for less than five years will be entitled to 21 days pay for each year of service now if the employee has been employed for more than five years he shall be entitled to 30 days wages for each year which exceeds the first five years now for indefinite term if the employer has terminated the contract ie if you got fired and this happens before you complete a year then unfortunately you get no payment the rest of the rules remain the same however if the employee terminates a contract I eat you quit and you've been employed for a period ranging from one to three years then the end of service benefit is calculated on the basis of one third of the basic salary for 21 days for each service year if it is between three to five years then the end of service benefits calculated on a two-thirds basis in the basic salary of 21 days for each service year if the employee has been employed for more than five years then the end of service benefit is calculated on the basis of the basic salary which shall be equal to 21 days for each working young
