Document background
The Separation Mutual Agreement is utilized in the United Arab Emirates when both employer and employee agree to terminate their employment relationship amicably. This document, governed by UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, serves as a comprehensive record of the separation terms, protecting both parties' interests while ensuring compliance with local labor laws. It is particularly valuable in situations where a clean break is desired and both parties wish to document their agreement on final settlements, mutual releases, and ongoing obligations. The agreement typically includes calculations of end-of-service benefits, final salary, and other entitlements, while also addressing practical aspects such as handover procedures, confidentiality requirements, and visa cancellation for expatriate employees. This type of agreement helps prevent future disputes by clearly documenting all agreed terms and mutual releases.
