Understanding UAE Labour Laws
The UAE Labour Law is designed to protect the rights of both employees and employers. Key provisions relevant to labour disputes include:
1. Employment Contracts
All employees must have a written employment contract in Arabic or English, outlining terms such as job role, salary, working hours, and benefits.
Any changes to the contract must be mutually agreed upon and documented.
2. Wages and Benefits
Employers are required to pay employees on time and in full, as per the agreed terms.
Employees are entitled to overtime pay, annual leave, sick leave, and end-of-service gratuity.
3. Termination of Employment
Employers must provide valid reasons for termination and adhere to notice periods as stipulated in the contract or law.
Wrongful termination can be challenged through the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) or the courts.
4. Dispute Resolution Mechanisms
Labour disputes are typically resolved through MOHRE’s conciliation process. If unresolved, the case is referred to the Labour Court.
Employees have the right to file a complaint with MOHRE within one year of the dispute arising.
