• ARTICLE 127 OF UAE LABOR LAW NO 8 OF 1980

    Dear Dr. Rajsh,

    Please see my comments below:

    1) If i resign or complete the contract I can not join any other hospital for 2 years
    that means either i continue with same hospital or i will have to back to India after completion

    -This is a non-competition clause etched in the labor law of UAE. This is a separate agreement between you and the employer. If you will sign this agreement that means Article 127 is in effect. My suggestion is for you to humbly request them not to let you sign such agreement. However, let me clarify that the employer's rights is guaranteed in the law, they may impose the same anytime they want.
    -If you resign you cannot work for other hospitals. You can work once the agreement is no longer binding.

    2 )If i get any better opportunity out there before 2 years what are my options
    - You do not have an option. The previous employer may file a case against you in a competent court.
