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.
The part-time work permit applies to three categories of persons:
· Resident workers in full-time employment holding a valid labour card
· Residents aged 18 and above
· Government employees
NOTE: Part-time Work permit is not issued for female employees.
Those issued with a part-time work permit are not limited to the number of part-time jobs they can take up.
Period of Contract: one year. Contract starting and ending date must be mentioned.
Separate Labour Card and Contract will be issued for the part time job.
