The Job Offer Withdrawal Letter is a crucial document used in the United Arab Emirates when an employer needs to retract a job offer that has been extended but not yet accepted, or in some cases, after acceptance but before employment commencement. This document must be drafted in compliance with UAE Labor Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021) and should be handled with particular care to avoid potential legal complications. The letter serves multiple purposes: it formally communicates the withdrawal decision, provides necessary explanations where appropriate, addresses any preliminary agreements or expenses, and helps protect the company from potential legal claims. It's essential in situations where business circumstances change, candidate qualifications cannot be verified, or other valid reasons emerge that necessitate withdrawing the offer.
