EMPLOYMENT RULES AND SERVICES
The relationship between employers and employees is governed by Federal Act Number 8 of 1980 and its amendments. The Act is applicable to all employment relationships when engaging an employee, whether a UAE citizen or a foreigner. It is not applicable in the case of employment by a government authority.
The approval of the Ministry of Labor is a prerequisite for the employment of foreigners. The Ministry encourages the employment of nationals in the private sector. However, an employer will be given permission to employ resident foreigners who may be transferring from previous employers or to employ newly arriving employees. A work permit is issued by the Ministry for three years, subject to renewal for similar periods. Employment contracts may be for a limited period specified in the contract or for an unlimited period, in which case the employee will continue working with his employer until the contract is terminated.
