A company has banned resignation of its workers. Is this legal?

take the resignation letter and go to labour law. they will solve the problem. And if this problem takes longer to solve, be advised that the company will have to pay for your salary and benefits (as stated by your contract) for as long as it takes the labour court to solve the issue.

just copy paste the above into an email and send it to your HR... they will send you home without any fuss :)

Don't worry majestic any bosses are bad! I wonder why Qatar has stopped issuing visas for the Lebanese? Has City Center run out of pointy shoes and hair dye!?

1. For employees who are getting monthly or annual payment, the other party shall be notified about the end of the contract at least 30 days in advance, for service periods that are five years or less. If the period of service is more than five years, the notice has to be served at least 60 days prior to the date of termination of the contract.

2. In other cases, written notification has to be issued as per the following:

a. If the service is less than one year, the termination notice should be served one week in advance.

Ha ha, that is funny. How can they stop you from resigning. Go to the police and say that you are being held against your will and you want to go home. That is kidnapping.
