Under Article 9(1) of the UAE Federal Decree Law No. 33 of 2021, an employer can terminate an employee during the probation period — which can last up to six months — by giving a 14-day written notice. The law does not require employers to provide a reason for termination during probation, and employees generally cannot claim arbitrary dismissal during this period. What do you think — should employees have stronger protection while on probation?
