Document background
This Layoff Separation Agreement is designed for use in the United Arab Emirates when implementing workforce reductions or individual layoffs. It serves as a legally binding document that complies with UAE Labor Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021) and provides a framework for documenting the termination process, calculating final settlements, and establishing post-employment obligations. The agreement includes essential provisions for end-of-service benefits, visa cancellation procedures for expatriate employees, confidentiality requirements, and full and final settlement terms. It is particularly important in the UAE context where employment relationships are heavily regulated and formal documentation is crucial for both legal compliance and risk management. The document helps prevent future disputes by clearly outlining all separation terms and ensuring both parties understand their rights and obligations.
