Can a person be reinstated when he was terminated after signing LOA


13-Dec-2023 (In Labour & Service Law)
Sir, I was appointed by a UAE company and has signed a letter of appointment. The company has proceeded with entry permit and air ticket for travel. Later, I had requested them for clarity on passport holding in Sharjah as I have heard that employers hold the passport at their will and do not let the holder keep it restricting their will. Once I asked for clarity and reconsideration on wages - they said we are termination your appointment and asked for a claim for visa and air ticket expenses. Here the point of contention was clarity on passport holding in Sharjah and whether reconsideration can be given on offered salary. The company itself said that they no longer want to hire me and claim the cost and if not given- legal course would be taken.

It is the company who is terminating your employment. They must state tge reason for termination. In fact you can claim compensation for leaving your past job etc. In case you would have declined to join after accepting employment you would have been liable to pay back

Giving an offer letter and acceptance of that offer letter are two different things altogether. You were given signed letter of appointment, entry permit and air ticket for travel meaning thereby that your appointment was confirmed by them. Accordingly there must have been some terms and conditions set out in the offer letter. Termination on point of clarification is arbitrary and is violation of your rights. You can contest the same in Court.
