People who have been slapped with a six-month labour ban for breaking their contracts before the expiry of two years can work for a new company, provided they hold at least a high school diploma and have been offered a good position and salary by the new company, employers were told by the Ministry of Labour last week.
To lift the ban, an employee should have been offered a minimum salary of Dh5,000 for high school graduates, Dh7,000 for diploma holders and Dh12,000 for bachelor’s degree holders.
The salary must be mentioned in the labour contract.
No fee will be imposed for lifting the ban when these conditions are met, Ali Al Shehi, Senior Administrator at the ministry, said in a seminar held to inform employers about their rights and duties as well as recent ministerial decisions.
