DIFC Notice period UAE

Notice Period for DIFC employees is governed by the DIFC Employment Law, which is a separate law, from the UAE Employment Law. 

As the DIFC Employment Law, Article 62, parties are required to provide each other with a proper notice, in the event of termination of the employment relationship.

The minimum notice period depends on the duration of employment.

• • If the employment period is less than 3 months, the notice period is 7 days.
  • If the employment is between 3 months to 5 years, the notice period is 30 days.
  • In those case where employment relationship is over 5 years, the notice period is 90 days or 3 months.

Importantly, these are the minimum notice periods.  

Parties can agree to longer periods under the DIFC Employment Law.
