Limited contract, husband’s sponsorship, ban, gratuity

Question: I’ve been working in a company for two years on a limited contract that expires in three months and I am under my husband’s sponsorship with a work permit from the Ministry of Labour. Can I leave work immediately by giving one month’s notice? Can the company reject my resignation and that too do so by email? Will the ministry impose a ban on me even if I’m under my husband’s sponsorship? Do I still have the right to get end of service benefits?

Answer: If you terminate your limited period contract ahead of its term you will lose your rights except those related to annual leave. You are not obliged to work a notice period on a limited contract and the employer has no right to reject the resignation.

You can leave immediately if you choose to break a limited contract but you may be asked to compensate the employer for an amount equivalent to 45 days salary if the employer proves to court that they suffered loss by your behaviour. The employer might request the ministry to impose a one year work ban due to that violation even if you are not under their sponsorship. You also have the right to claim end of service even if you are under your husband’s visa.
