Found the reference to the accommodation question in the 'accommodation handbook'. Unfortunately it wouldn't let me cut & paste it.
Accommodation Handbook Ref: Grade 9+ - B1 - 11.2
"
The company will bear the cost for a maximum of two nights accommodation ..."
Now here is another point worth debating; the 3 months resignation notice/period! I am aware that this time frame is listed in the employee handbook but here is a copy & paste from the 'UAE Labor Law' code: -
The characteristics of an unlimited term contract on the other hand are as follows:
- The contract provides a commencement date but no completion date.
- A contract will be considered “unlimited” if: (i) it is an oral contract; (ii) it is not for a specified period; (iii) it was for a specified period but the parties continued to act on its terms and conditions after its expiry, without any written contract specifying the completion date; (iv) the purpose of the employment is to complete work not estimated within a specified time-frame; or (v) it is by its nature renewable and the contract continues after the work agreed upon is completed.
- The contract may be terminated by mutual agreement or by either of the parties providing the other with a minimum of 30 days’ notice of termination.
- The contract may be terminated for a justified cause at any time on giving at least 30 days notice of termination. The notice period may be less for employees working on a daily basis.
The less time I spend in this 'dump' the better..
Thoughts??
