In the UAE, it's a legal must for employers to keep the workplace safe and sound.

The three violations highlighted in the law are abuse of power, insult or harassment in any form. Employers have the right to dismiss the violators without notice. Employees, on the other hand, have the same right to leave their job without notice and receive full benefits if they face assault, violence, or harassment from their employer or their legal representative. To claim this right, employees must report such incidents to the relevant authorities and the Ministry within a period of five working days.
