Q-My wife is working with a Dubai-based company but holds a visa sponsored by me. She had signed a limited employment contract with her employer for a period of one year, commencing from February 16, 2017 to February 15th February 2018. Now she doesn't want to renew her employment contract and she has already informed her employer on February 22 that she will work for another one-month till March 22 as a notice period. What kind of final settlement she will get?

A-Pursuant to your queries, it is assumed that your wife has notified her employer, in writing, that she has resigned and will not renew her employment contract. It is not mandatory to serve the notice period as her contract has lapsed. She could simply inform her employer of her decision to not renew the contract. Your wife is entitled for all end of service benefits such as leave salary for annual leaves not availed, air ticket fare, severance pay, experience certificate and unpaid salaries, if any.
