The Termination Of Contract Due To Poor Performance document is a crucial legal instrument used in the United Arab Emirates when an employer needs to end an employment relationship due to documented performance issues. It must comply with UAE Labor Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021) and should only be used after proper performance management procedures have been followed, including formal warnings and opportunity for improvement. The document typically includes detailed performance issues, references to previous warnings, notice period details, and final settlement terms. It's essential for protecting the employer from potential legal challenges while ensuring fair treatment of employees under UAE law. This document requires careful preparation and should be reviewed by HR and legal professionals to ensure compliance with both federal and free zone regulations where applicable.
