BaghdadiLaw handles objections, wage and compensation claims, negotiation and representation. Founded in 1957, our firm has handled more than 20,000 cases and legal consultations across its practice. Omar Al-Baghdadi leads the team with over 30 years of legal experience.
BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to dismissal connected to sick leave, with detailed knowledge of the medical and employment chronology, termination reasons and affected financial rights. Dismissal connected with illness in the UAE requires the medical and employment timelines to be read together. Approved leave, medical evidence and the employer's stated ground help distinguish leave-entitlement questions from a separate termination claim.
A UAE private-sector sickness case requires the recognised medical record, leave status and dismissal timing. Law 33/2021 distinguishes sickness entitlements and employment termination; probation, exhaustion of leave and the actual reason require review rather than assuming every illness-related end is identical. Confirm coverage first: DIFC and ADGM employment, domestic work and public employment have separate frameworks. Compare certified leave dates with the employer’s knowledge, notices and stated termination reason. The chronology is needed to assess the alleged connection rather than assuming it from timing alone.
We agree the work your matter needs: Complete medical and leave-status evidence before alleging unlawful dismissal. A claim about protected absence differs from a final-benefits calculation; where records support only a pay discrepancy, seek that correction without assuming the termination ground is established. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A medical-leave chronology and entitlement review identifying disputed absence, pay treatment and any evidenced connection with termination.

Service content updated:
No. Review the medical leave, employment regime, stated reason, dates and employer communications. The relationship between leave and termination needs evidence; accrued benefits and any dismissal remedy should be assessed separately.
Review the certificate's actual dates and recommendations, not only the appointment receipt.
The ledger shows the type, dates and remaining leave, while the notice shows when and why termination was communicated. Reading them together helps distinguish protected leave, exhaustion and a dispute about absence that was never properly documented.
