* A letter template you review, complete and sign — not legal advice. The employer who issues it is responsible for its content. A sanction may be imposed only after the worker is told the charges in writing, heard and investigated, with the findings recorded (Cabinet Resolution No. 1 of 2022, Article 24). The employment contract, the law that actually applies (the DIFC and ADGM free zones have their own employment laws) and any decision of MOHRE or a court prevail over this template — check it with MOHRE or a qualified adviser before you issue it.
