Document background
The Going Away Letter is an essential document in UAE employment practice that formalizes the termination of an employment relationship. It is typically issued when an employee resigns, is terminated, or their contract expires, serving as an official record of the employment end date, notice period compliance, and final settlement arrangements. The document must align with UAE Federal Decree Law No. 33 of 2021 and address key aspects such as end-of-service benefits, visa cancellation procedures, and handover requirements. The Going Away Letter is particularly important in the UAE context due to the interconnected nature of employment and residency status, making it a crucial document for both immigration compliance and labor law requirements. It helps protect both employer and employee interests by clearly documenting the termination process and related obligations.
