Protect citizen rights! Consult legal representations to understand UAE employment law

The global market is observing shifting trends in economies, employment strategies and business opportunities. The UAE labor laws have adjusted to accommodate these altering market trends. There are plenty of people from all around the world who rush to the UAE, in search of a better future. People from almost 200 nationalities are residing in the UAE for employment benefits.

The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs hand over the work permit to all those people who do not belong to the United Arab Emirates, but are interested in availing the employment opportunities here. Specialization, qualification and vocational expertise is the key here. People aspiring for the work permit, need to be able to prove that, they are competent professionally for the post, and their entry into the UAE is with proper documentation, permission and guarantee papers handed over by the employer.

Considering this huge influx of people, labor or employment laws are necessary to protect rights of the people of UAE and those workers who have traveled thousands of miles across ocean to set up base in the United Arab Emirates. The goal of these employment or labor laws is to take care of the rights of the citizens of UAE and severely deal with the expatriate influx in the country. The UAE employment law is a personal interest of the Ministry of Labour of the UAE and they are taking a special interest in the Ministerial Decrees that are taking care of the labour laws existing in the region.

The workers are bound by a contractual agreement penned down in a particular format put down in English and Arabic, which is acceptable to the Ministry. If there is no contract then witnesses, emails and other written communications in some cases may be considered as evidence under labor law. The employment contract period can be prepared by mutual agreement and the date of conclusion needs to be mentioned in the duration tab of the contractual agreement.

Upon the ending of the contact of employment, there is an employment ban for about 6 months for people working for on-shore entities though this is relaxed if the contract is ended by mutual agreement or a long term employment with same employer for about two years.

The UAE employment law protects the employee and employer rights. The rule emphasizes that an employer has to compulsorily give the worker a notice period of a month or 30 days before ending a contract of an employee. There is no negotiation on this front and even if the employer is agreeing to a shorter period the UAE employment law forbids them from doing so. The employer has to enforce a one month notice period for the employee. The employer also has to reimburse all the entitlements that have been offered to the employee at the time of employment. The unused leave benefits that are a right of the employee have to be handed over to him no matter what!
