New UAE Labour Law 2017-2018 (Download PDF)
Table of Contents
If you are employed in the UAE, you’d have surely heard about the New UAE Labour Law or UAE Employment Law that has been issued in 2016. If you are an employer or employee in UAE, you must familiarise yourself with UAE Labour Law as this is what guides your employment. Ministry of Labour regularly makes updates to UAE Labour Law as a proactive step towards having best practices.
Most of the freezones follow UAE Labor Law; however they need not, as they are independent to follow their own set of rules and policies. In addition to the UAE Labour Law, the free zones may have their own rules which they may follow. You will have to visit their websites to find out more.
As an employee, UAE Labor Law will help you understand your rights, various procedures that you may need to follow and so on. As an employer or company, you must be aware of legalities involved in hiring and terminating employees. A careful reading of labor law will let you understand the various aspects that may affect your decisions. Companies do not know circumstances in which they can terminate an employee. Your HR team must be equipped well enough to gauge the UAE Labour Law which may save you from may difficulties.
With the new resolutions released by MOL, it has become more important for you to understand minute details and circumstances which may affect you.
Basically, the UAE Labour Law speaks about the following:
- Gratuity Calculation;
- Limited Contracts;
- Unlimited Contracts;
- Rights of Employees;
- Termination;
- Labour Ban;
- Overtime Calculation;
The new UAE Labour Law that has come into effect changes 3 main aspects of the UAE Labour Law.
- Standard Offer Letters – Resolution 764;
- Termination of Contract – Resolution 765;
- Getting New Work Permit / Labour Ban – Resolution 766.
These have been issued as a separate Resolutions to the existing resolutions and UAE Labour Law is not issued in a single document.

Hi Sir,
I am currently working on my visit visa and i have signed the labour offer and contract after that my company is forcing me to do illegal works now i want i resign from the company but they said i have to pay the labour fees to them and the visa expenses
Hi deepak, a company let me started the job, but my status is i am under observation for 2 weeks, then after that, that will be the time they will give me offer if i met their expectations. I am on a visit visa, and my concern is i will be working with them without the assurance of getting me hired. Is that legal?
Dear Aiza
Same condition is with me. The company is just testing me over a week and still not decided.
This is insane HR practice and not acceptable. Such employer is playing with the feelings of candidates, wasting their time, energy and money.
hi could you site the prevailing or the most recent update on working with private company whose Residence Visa is under the sponsorship of the wife. I was granted a Labor Permit by Ministry of Labor to work in a company last 2015 then comes the expiration on October 2017 when the company seek renewal the HR says that the renewal was denied. I don’t know if the explanation of the HR is legit or not, that is why I am seeking the exact repealed provision of the law/resolution (if there’s any latest ). Before this explanation from HR, the HR department want me to surrender my Passport with them for safekeeping purposes as they say. But i vehemently refused to submit and I refer them in writing that “there is NO LAW REQUIRING A COMPANY to take control of their employees passport”. Since then they never confronted to submit my passport. I guess my HR department see’s this opportunity to surrender my passport unto them.
HR says that I am denied to Labor Permit because my spouse is NOT LOCAL and only those husband with local wife will be given a Labor Permit. But I think the HR is quoting me the Ministerial Resolution No. (1188) for 2010 – Regulation and Conditions for the Issuance of Domestic Work Permit – Article (6) A work permit is issued to those sponsored by their residency under the following categories: 1)females over 18 of age 2) husband of female national 3) sons and daughters of female national. BUT I AM NOT A DOMESTIC WORKER this resolution doesn’t apply to me.
Would you mind to provide the MOST RECENT law/resolution regarding the issuance of Labor Permit under wife sponsorship.

Aslam-o-Alkeum
I hope all are well,
Please answer about my questions. I will be really great full to you for this regard.
Question No. 1
Please tell me what is the Category of My Visa as i am working as a General Manager in Restaurant based in Abudhabi. If Its fall in first categories and I wants to move another job then what will be the uae law as I have 5000aed Monthly Salary with Limited Contract.
Question No. 2
What is the duty hours for General Manager Visa as per UAE Law? Because my owner asked me to do more then 12 hours duty a day without any overtime and sometimes no day off. He told me that you made a contract with us like this but I didn’t signed any paper.
Question No. 3
As per my MOL Contract I have basic salary 4000, Housing Allowance 700 and 300 Transportation allowance So Total is 5000 in my MOL Contract. Other then Contract my owner giving me more 1000 Allowance for Mobile and Food which is not mentioned in my MOL contract. If I will not do 12 hours duty a day without day off then my owner threatening me that if you will resign then you have to returned my 1000 AEd allowance which he has given me every month. So I am liable to pay back 1000aed for each month?
Please answer for my above question and give me guideline as per the UAE law what should I do.
1. You have to enquire this with MOL/MOHRE.
2. As a senior management, you are not allowed to have overtime
3. I am not sure about this personal arrangement!!
I will be resigning from my work and will give 30days notice. I’m on unlimited visa and just completed 10months in the company.
Am I eligible to the following:
1. 30 day notice salary
2. Unused leave pay
Yes to both!
Thank you! Additional question, can the management put a hold on my last salary? (not the 30days notice) I actually submitted by resignation on the day of our cutoff and the release of the salary will fall on the middle of my 30 days period.

I am looking for help regarding the following query…
I have an unlimited employment contract with my employer. However, I resigned a few weeks before completing 1 year of service, but I have continued to work after that as my contractual notice period was 3 months. My contract states that should I leave my employment before completing 1 year, the employer is entitled to recover any costs incurred in my recruitment. My employer is currently withholding my salary citing that I owe them money as I resigned before completing 1 year. My question is this – is working through my notice period (post resigning) also considered as continued service, for e.g. if I include my notice period my service takes me past the 1 yr requirement, so does my employer have any right to withhold my salary / benefits? Thank you.
notice period is considered as part of service.
Hi,
As an employee, what we can do if the employer didn’t pay the HRA along with the Basic Salary while paying the leave salary? Also for the arrears of last years as well??
You should request the company to settle these.
hi…i worked last 7 years in a company on husband visa and resigned before 2 month, but still no settlement and work permit cancellation, now i got a job offer and my case is under dispute in labour, how i can join my duty?? can i get work permit cancellation.
Could you please enquire this with MOL/MOHRE.

Yes, he could come on tourist visa or visit visa.
Please speak to MOL with regard to 1 year labour ban removal.
Sir,
I have been informed last June 30, 2017 that I am being laid off and starting July, I will be serving my 30 days notice. I am under unlimited contract which started last September 1, 2016.
I want to know if this is legal and what else should I claim? Am I eligible to claim the ffg:
1. 30 day notice salary
2. Unused leave pay
3. Arbitrary Dismissal pay ( 3 months Salary )
I hope you could answer my query.
Thank you in advance.

Hi. I’ve been on this company for 2 years. After 18 months they promote me as manager. We did inventory and all. Now that I am going to leave ofcourse we have to do the inventory again. When we did we found out that the variance item from the old manager still included on my variance means they did not remove it from stock file. That variance was already paid ny the old manager and now they include again and want me to pay for everything. It was cost 3500dhs. Its too much. What is the action I can take?
This is entirely your internal company issue!
You must solve it amicably with your company.

First working day is usually considered as joining date.
Hi i have a new job and am 15 months in my company but now my company insist i pay for cancellation and also pay for insurance ID that was insured to me after one year working and i have never use it for medication, please mr Deepak is it proper i pay for insurance ID and cancellation after working for 14 months?
No you are not required to pay any of these charges to the company.
so please what should i do?
Please question your HR on this!
if im just 5months with the company with unlimited contract and planning to resign
they said i have to pay also for their expenses. do i have to do that
Please follow: http://emiratesdiary.com/uae-labour-law-2/what-is-a-notice-period#comment-3467912181
Please consult with MOL/MOHRE on this.
Employer should bear the cost of Emirates ID.
No thoughts here. Sorry.
But have they done something like this in the past?
I dont know sir but im just so worried because they might do it since i have no copy or letter that i am not in need in the workshop until my notice finished. I asked in the lebor nd they told me to get a proof that i am in need in the company untill the notice period so i asked the HR but they could not give me anything. Thank you depak
Please get this in writing from your company that you are not required to come to work. Email also should be OK.
Hi i want to ask if i can leave the company which i have just joined and i have unlimited contract
You should serve notice period.
Also consult with MOHRE/MOL
Hi Deepak,
Im currently employed and just renew my unlimited contract 3 months ago.
My concern is I’ve got an offer from the other company which is better for what i have right now. Is it possible for me to resign and grab the opportunity. Im just worried about having ban or any problem that my company will do.
Regards,
John
Depending on your Skill Level, you may face ban.
Please consult with MOHRE / MOL.
Hi Deepak,
Hope you are very well.
I have a pressing question… I might be signing a contract for a job very shortly… I am currently under discussion on two points;
1. The company is saying that the labor law allows the employer to extend probation on its own discretion. The issue is that we have decided on a pre & post probation salary. If they decide to extend the probation, I will be at a loss. I trust them but I don’ feel this one sided discretionary decision is fair. Am I wrong?
2. They are defining basic salary to be 60% of the package. I am pushing for 75% minimum. Am I being too demanding?
Regards,
Talha
1. Probation Period can not be extended beyond 6 months.
2. 60/40 seems ok to me. There is no definite question. However, higher the better.
Thanks a lot Deepak… much appreciated.
I understand the probation cannot exceed 6 months. My question is… is it okay that employer has agreed to give me a higher salary after 3 months probation… but has also provisioned for an extension of probation on their own discretion?
There is no provision for extension beyond 6 months.
Also, if your employer promises to increase salary, it must be written in the contract and nothing should be taken at face value.
hi deepak
hi deepak
hi deepak,
can i take up employment during a labor dispute
regards,
Ridge
I guess, you will have to get consent from MOL / MOHRE.
hello deepak bhai!!
is resignation via email is acceptable in uae or not? @[email protected]:disqus
Depends on your company culture. However, I’d recommend that you provide written as well as email resignation after you have spoken to your manager.
Hello Mr Deepak , I have been offered 10% commision on Profit . now the emploer says that it is only in offer letter and not labor contract . so am I going to lose it , I have also been arbitrarily terminated after 22 months service.
Your company is correct.
What is not on labour contract can not be considered.
However, if the termination is arbitrary, you should get in touch with MOL/MOHRE (800665)
Hi Deepak,
Request your help.
I had joined a company 24th Sep 2016. But labour contract (unlimited) was made only in Jan 2017. I am on my father’s sponsorship. I had taken sick leave during month of May for ankle sprain. The company is deducting my pay for those days and not reimbursing the doctor’s bills. The medical card also was given at end of May after my doctor’s visit.
Can they rightfully deduct my salary for the same?
They gave me a warning letter on May 21 and termination letter on 5 June. Ideally they are required to provide with 1 month notice period yes? Are they required to provide me with 1 month salary? What are my rights and claims in this matter as I need to collect my final dues. I havent yet taken my annual leave. Can I claim the same to be reimbursed?
Request your advice.
Rgs

Are you still on Probation.
If yes, you are not allowed to take Sick Leave.
Read the above mentioned links.
Hi,
I joined on 24 Sept 2016 and took sick leave in May 2017. I wasn’t on probation period.
Request to advice on the termination rights which I have mentioned.
Await your kind advice.
Please read: Termination Rights when fired
Thanks dear, I have read the same. But some points are still unclear. Request your advice.
I joined the company on 24 Sep 2016, but company made the labour contract in Jan 2017 and labour card in Feb 2017. I used to followup but they would say it is taking time.
If I make a labour complaint for claiming my 1 month termination notice salary, will I face any legal trouble for working without labour card?
Please do advice.
Tnx
Hi Mr. Deepak, i want to resign my company. i am in limited visa and i have still 7 months left.
Please tell me how can i get out of my company without getting myself in trouble. help me out.
Please read: Labour Ban UAE
hi, I just want to ask for an advise regarding salary. my employer has not been paying our salary on time since November 2016. it just usually gets delayed for a few days like 4-8 days maximum as they are trying to keep up with the 10th of the month due date. however, last month it got delayed for 22 days. we had i reported to the Ministry of Labour and they even came to our office for this then that’s the only time our salary got released. however this current month, salary is still delay and still no sign on when it will be paid. as per filing of salary complain in MOL system, it has to be 15 days delayed before we can initiate a complain but that is too long. MOL number is currently busy the whole day and unable to seek advise from them. i just want to get some opinion regarding this as this is not doing any good anymore. rent, bills, card payments are getting delayed and worst if there are any interest on it our employer will not shoulder due to their late payment of salary. i hope someone can answer and give advise. thank you!
Why don’t you directly approach MOL/MOHRE offices?
I believe you are talking about Labour Ban.
Labour Ban + Bans in UAE
Hi Mr. Deepak, I would appreciate if you can help me on this. Can a company ban me if I will resign after my 6 months with 1 month notice and transfer to another company with same field with higher salary? Thank you.
Because I was informed that if I will resign my current company will ban me.
Rachelle,
what kind of ban?
hi,
what is the procedure to change the company during Probation period.
my current company is in Jebel ali free zone. i want to resign the company.
please guide me.
You have to first resign, cancel labour card/visa and start joining formalities.
Dear Mr. Deepak,
Thank you so much for your answer.
Do I need to pay the visa charges if I resign the company in probation period. ?
No, but depending on whether yours is a Limited Contract, you may have to pay your employer 45 day salary.
Please confirm with MOL/MOHRE.
Read about Limited Contract
Thank you for the clarification.
Can you give me mol contact no ?

No, the working hours are same for all.
However, few exceptions are possible for certain industries like hospitality, outlets etc
@Manesh, HR should not deduct HRA. Leave salary should be gross.
Hi,
can company deduct the week off days salary, if the Annual leave starting immediately after the week off days? ie if I have applied and approved the annual leave on Sunday onwards for 30 days, but am flying Friday itself as Friday& Saturday is week off..then can these two days will be included in the 30 days leave?
This is not something that makes sense.
Companies can not deduct salaries for these reasons.
Dear Sir,
i have working in free zone company. 2014 i have joined. from join date to till I’m facing salary issue. this month i got salary for November 2015. i have given them my resignation letter last april 2015 because of my family financial issue. management called me and promised will give required cash. but up to last Minuit they did not give cash. they told you can go to home country, we will deposit the required cash. i was wait up to 2 month in my home country. they did not give money. again i have given resignation letter to them. one of the director promised me will give weekly AED 5000. cash. nut i have received only 15000. balance i did not get. again im plan to go my home country resolve my financial issue with some other way. i was stay in india upto 5.5 months and solved my family issue and came back. my management they did not allow me to continue the job. i have asked them termination letter. they are not ready to give. since 40 days i was idle in my accommodation. shall i go for legal action? already many people went court. it was taken more than one year he got final notice from court. my question is court will not check other employee salary details? because who ever goes to court they only only get their pending salary. that also taking much more time to get them settlement.
Note:
in our company many peoples are facing same salary issues. i would like to know if i raise the complaint against my company, i will get positive reply from court along with my compensation amount?
Srinivasan,
it is better to get things done amicably than to go through court.
Court should be last resort.
I can not comment on what the decision of the court will be.
Hi,
I’ve been working to my previous company for almost 3 years and during the last 9 mos we are of financial struggle. Management only give 50% of salary sometimes even half salary still delay. I already got a new job and the owner promise to pay my last pay(all dues) after a month when they can collect the receivables from client. I already signed the cancellation paper so the other company can process my new working visa. Months later, CEO flew to his hometown and until now he did not come back. I made complaint to MOHRE for my claim and the first appointment already passed my former Boss did not show up during the appointment meeting. We still have another appointment coming, i dont know if they will show up again. The company already expire the trade license and many former co-worker already resigned and hoping the promise to pay last pay when financial status will regain. My question is, they are in SPONSORSHIP for the license, are they allowed to issue NEW TRADE LICENSE even they dont update salary payment-WPS, i already made complaint for my claims are these thing cannot affect in renewing the company license? Also, can i still have claims right in my last pay? Still company is on struggle and employees dont get salary on time. Is the Ministry of Labor have controls in knowing if the company paying wages or not or they only have idea once complaints were made.
I am expat, being away from family is too much sacrifice but we end up getting no salary. How can the Government protect the small individual like me.
Hi, is there any standard bracket of basic salary? sometimes company will give lower percentage of basic salary because this will be the basis of gratuity computation. Mu basic salary is only 45% of my gross salary and they put it almost in accommodation and transportation allowance. Thank you.

plz help me 0544649300
I am very grateful to every one who participate in making the UAE labour law serve both the employer and employees, unfortunately have found it very hard for the low income earners (this I mean from 3999 and below) to access any bank facility for their development and they’re never trusted by banks because the first question you’re asked is how much is your salary and the answer will determine the opening of the door!!! How do you help such people because we would desire to be productive to the nations where we come from if the operating capital here is to big for us and in my conclusion I request you to help us low income earners to access facilities from banks here and commit ourselves to be trust worthy in all manner to make life better even for others.
Hello sir,i have joined a company in dubai on december 2016.and can i change the employment after 6 months.wil there be any ban if am in limited contact of 2 years??
Hi good morning,
My employer terminated me after 3 months of my service. They asked me to sign the cancellation without giving my salary. They promised me that they will transfer the money by 30th of the month but until now I’m not receiving anything. And also, the salary mentioned in my labour contract is lesser than the offer letter and salary transfered to my bank.
Please advice me what to do.
Thank you.
Arthur,
under probation, the company can fire you.
but salary must be paid till the time you have worked.
Now, if you have signed the cancellation, you’d have agreed that you have received all the due.
Can you please send me the labout law for 2017?

I was promised for a Performance bonus based on timely completion of project with a clause of 10% deduct in bonus on per week delay, if due to my performance. This was a part of my CTC. However, the promoters could not arrange for the full finances yet and the project is getting delayed due to non performance on promoters part.

Recently they had terminated my contract citing organisational restructuring as the reason and are denying the performance bonus.

Dear Sir,
I applied for a sales job with ABC Co. On 28/08/2016 and I cleared the interview. I got the offer letter on 07/09/2016 from XYZ Co. I was told that the payroll is outsourced to XYZ Co. And ABC Co. Is their client. An unlimited term employment contract was signed on 26/09/2016 ABC Co’s name did not reflect on any of the documents.
I was told that the joining date will be in the first week of October. I went back to India. After a lot of follow up, finally, I got the employment visa on 18/10/2016 and I was told that the date of joining is 01/11/2016. Based on date of joining I came to Dubai on 30/10/2016
On 31/10/2016 I received an email from XYZ Co. That the joining date is postponed to 01/12/2016 as ABC Co. Is facing some legal issues.
Now when I contact ABC they ask me to contact XYZ and XYZ says this that they can’t do anything.
After signing the offer on 07/09/2016 I got other job offers but I did not take it because I had already signed the offer letter with XYZ.
I have no other source of income and I cannot afford to live without income anymore. I have already waited for almost two months and I cannot wait another month.
Am I entitled for any compensation for the delay in date of joining? If yes, how to claim.
Kindly help.
Hi Rakesh,
Iam in a grave trouble and needed your assistance. I work for a Travel management company. I was the first employee of the project that iam currently working with. I was slogged and exploited royally for an years time for the fact that i was the first employee and the product wasnt fully ready.
Gradually things developed and the work pressure increased, which left me with no choice but to work more than the regular working hours, though in my contract only 48 hrs per week was mentioned. Its mentioned in my contract that overtime will be paid but i never asked for it neither did i get the same from the company.
Now iam not too sure if i will get that or not ? Upon speaking to the hr i was told that its bygone…
Can i ask them again for the same or do i stand a chance to take this up to the labor law…
regards,
ez

Hi Deepak,
I have been employed in a company for 1.3 months. I didn’t take my annual leave during this tenure. My contract is unlimited in nature. i am serving my notice period and my employer says I’m not eligible for the leave salary as he has given me a raise in my remuneration 9 months ago. He is equating my raise with my leave salary. He adds that my raise compensates for my leave salary. How is that even possible?
Kindly advice.
