The UAE labor contract cancellation process involves several steps: 1) Submit resignation or termination letter according to contract terms (providing proper notice period); 2) Employer must cancel your employment permit through the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) within 30 days of your last working day; 3) Employer must settle all financial dues including salary, end of service gratuity (if applicable), and unused leave compensation; 4) Return all company property (access cards, equipment); 5) Cancel your Emirates ID and medical insurance; 6) Obtain and verify the labor contract cancellation paper (crucial document); 7) If leaving UAE, employer must cancel residence visa; 8) If transferring to new employer, ensure visa transfer is processed within the grace period (typically 30 days). The entire process usually takes 2-4 weeks. Under the new labor law, you can request a copy of your employment certificate (service certificate) detailing your employment period and last designation. Verify all cancellations are properly processed to avoid future complications.
