According to the mentioned facts, I would like to clarify to you that You can resign the work but you should distinguish between the two cases;
1-if the contract is fixed term then you cannot terminate the contract without the consent of the employer unless in the following cases:
-if the employer fails to commit his obligations towards the worker based on the provisions stipulated in the contract or the law.
-if the employer or his representative assault the worker.
2-if the contract is unfixed term then the worker may terminate or resign from work by notifying the employer 30 days prior to the termination
However, if the worker leave or terminate the job without taking into account the first case or without the procedures in the second case, then the worker should compensate the employer, and the employer may ban the worker to work in the country due to breaching the obligations stipulated in the employment contract.\
The law regulating the relations of the federal labor states as follows:
Article (116)
If the contract is terminated by the worker for other reasons than mentioned in article (121) the worker should compensate the employer of the damage caused by terminating the contract. The compensation should not exceed half a month for each month of the remaining period of the contract, unless there is a provision in the contract stipulating otherwise.
Article (117)
1-the employer and the worker may terminate unfixed term work contract for a legitimate reason at any time after conducting the contact and after notifying the other party in writing at least thirty days prior to its expiry.
2-as for the daily laborers the notification shall be at the following periods:
A- One week if the worker is employed for more than six months and less than one year.
B- Two weeks if the worker has worked for a period not less than one year.
C- One month if the worker is employed for a period not less than five years.
Article(118)
The contract shall remain valid during the notification period referred to in the preceded article and shall terminate on its expiry. The worker is entitled to his full wage for this period based on the last wage, and he should work during this period if the employer requires so.
The parties may not agree on the exemption of the notification condition or to reduce its period, however they may increase this period.
Article (119)
If the employer fails to notify the other party of terminating the contract or reduced the notification period, the party who bound to the notification shall pay a compensation, instead of the notification, even if it did not result in the damage for the other party. The compensation should be equal to the worker’s wage for all or part of the notification period. The compensation shall be calculated based on the last wage the worker is paid. As for workers who are paid monthly, weekly, daily or in hour is based on the average daily wage provided for in Article 75 of this law for those who earn their wages by piece or portion

We would like to inform you that according to the UAE Labor Law on termination and you provide resignation and obliged with the notice period legally, then if the contract is unlimited, you can leave the work without the acceptance of the employer. But if it is limited contract then you have to complete the contract’s period.
The law regulates that matter in the below articles:
Article (113)
An employment contract shall terminate in any of the following cases:
- By mutual agreement of the Parties, provided that the worker's consent is given in writing;
- Upon expiry of its term, unless it has been expressly or implicitly extended according to the provisions of this Law;
- For the convenience of either party to an indefinite term contract, provided that the provisions of this Law concerning the notice and the valid grounds of termination without arbitrariness are adhered to.
Article (116):
Where a contract is revoked by the worker for reasons other than those stipulated in Article (121), he shall be required to compensate the employer for any damage the latter sustains as a result, provided that the amount of compensation shall not exceed half a month wage for three months or for the remaining period of the contract, whichever is shorter, unless otherwise stipulated in the contract.
Article (117):
- Either the employer or the worker may terminate an indefinite term contract for a valid reason at any time following its conclusion, by giving the other party a notice in writing at least 30 days prior to termination.
- For the daily-paid workers, the notice period shall be as follows:
- One week: if the worker has been employed for more than six months but less than one year.
- Two weeks: if the worker has been employed for not less than one year.
One month: if the worker has been employed for not less than five years.
Article (118):
A contract shall subsist throughout the notice period referred to in the preceding Article and shall terminate only on expiry of that period. The worker shall be entitled in respect of the notice period to full pay, calculated on the basis of his last wage, and shall continue to perform his duties during that period if the employer so requests. The Parties may not agree to waive the notice requirement or to reduce the notice period; however, they may agree to extend the period.
Article (119):
If either the employer or the worker reduces the period of, or fails to serve a notice of termination on the other, the forbearing party shall pay the other a “compensation in lieu of notice”, irrespective of whether or not the other party has sustained damage as a result of such failure or shorter notice. The said compensation shall be equal to the worker's wage in respect of the entire or reduced period of notice. Compensation in lieu of notice shall be calculated on the basis of the last wage received, in the case of monthly, weekly, daily and hourly paid workers, and on the basis of the average daily wage referred to in Article 57 of this Law in the case of those paid on piecemeal.
Note that after resignation and accepting it that requires NOC and cancelling the visa by the sponsor or any other representative.
