Document background
The Employee Exit Agreement is a crucial document used in the United Arab Emirates when formally terminating an employment relationship. It serves as a comprehensive record of the separation terms and ensures compliance with UAE Labor Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021) and relevant regulations. This agreement is typically used when an employee's contract is being terminated through mutual consent, resignation, or employer-initiated termination, and requires careful consideration of mainland UAE or free zone-specific requirements. The document includes detailed provisions for final settlements, end-of-service gratuity calculations, handover of company property, confidentiality obligations, and any post-employment restrictions. It helps prevent future disputes by clearly documenting all aspects of the separation and ensures both parties understand their rights and obligations under UAE law.
