What Is an Unfair Dismissal / Wrongful Termination Under UAE Law
Under Federal Decree‑Law No. 33 of 2021 Regarding the Regulation of Employment Relationships, dismissals must follow valid procedures. If your termination isn’t based on a genuine reason or proper investigation, or the employer failed to respect notice periods, your dismissal may be deemed unfair.

You may also have an unfair dismissal claim if you were terminated for reasons that are retaliatory (for example you filed a complaint) or discriminatory, or if the employer ignored labour law requirements.
How Our Wrongful Termination Lawyers Can Help You
- We assess whether your case qualifies for an unfair dismissal claim or wrongful termination attorney involvement: examining your employment contract, reasons given for dismissal, warnings, and communications.
- We advise on your remedies for unfair dismissal: this could include back pay, notice period pay, end‑of‑service gratuity, and compensation (“unfair dismissal payout”).
- We represent you before MOHRE (Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation), or in labour court, to ensure your rights are upheld.
- We document evidence, prepare the case, negotiate with your employer, or litigate if necessary.
What Compensation & Remedies You Can Expect
If your unfair dismissal or wrongful termination case is successful, you may be able to recover:
- Payment for the notice period that should have been given.
- End‑of‑service benefits and unpaid leave or unused leave entitlements.
- Compensation up to three months’ salary in many unlawful termination scenarios, especially where dismissal is linked to making a complaint or legal claim.
- Any grievous damages if your termination caused harm or was malicious.
