Skill Level 1, 2, 3 (explanation)
MOHRE has released the new Labour Law Resolutions starting 2016
. One of the things that is covered there is exemption of Labour Ban for Skill Levels 1, 2 and 3? In this post I will clear the air around the Skill Level 1, 2, 3.
Skill Level 1 (First Skill Level):
These are the individuals who have a Bachelor’s degree (University Degree) or higher qualification; in short these are professionals. As per the new labour law resolution 765, employees belonging to this profession, will not face labour ban when changing the job provided they have served the notice period as set out in their labour contract.
Few of the examples for the designations/professions are:
- Manager,
- Engineer,
- Doctor,
- Teacher,
- Accountant,
- Accounts Clerk,
- Marketing Specialist,
- Quantity Surveyor,
- Draughtsman,
- Executive Secretary,
- Pharmacist,
- Administration Officer,
- Reservation Officer,
- Safety Officer,
- Public Relations Officer,
- Computer Operator,
- Advertising Designer,
- Graphic Arts Draughtsman and so on.
The salary level of these professions are above 12000 dirhams and they must have an attested degree certificate.
Skill Level 2 (Second Skill Level):
Individuals under this category are those who have completed their Diploma in any field. This category typically involves people who are typically mechanical and technical jobs such as Technicians (ITI Diploma holders from India for example), Mechanical workers etc. The minimum salary of this category of employees should be 7000 dirhams with Post secondary education attested certificate.
Skill Level 3 (Third Skill Level)
If you have high school or higher secondary qualification, then such individuals will are categorised as Skill Level 3. This category of employees of following profession:
- Sales Executive,
- Sales Representative,
- Sales Supervisor,
- Site Supervisor,
- Administration Clerk,
- Correspondence Clerk,
- Customs Clearing Clerk,
- Ticketing Clerk,
- Cash Desk Clerk,
- Receptionist,
- Cashier,
- Store Keeper,
- Tourist Guide etc.
Employees under this category must have secondary education certificate with AED 5000 salary.
What are other Skill Levels ?
Other than Skill Levels 1, 2, 3 there are also skill level 4 & 5 who are primarily unskilled workers without any qualification. Examples of these professions include General labourers, house keepers, Construction Labourers, Helpers, Cleaners, Loading and Unloading workers, Office Boys etc.
Is salary still a criteria to Avoid Labour Ban?
After MOHRE released the latest UAE Labour Law resolutions, labour ban is not applicable to individuals belonging to Skill Level 1, 2 and 3. MOHRE is silent on requirement of minimum salary required to avoid labour ban. Previously, you needed AED 12000, AED 7000 and AED 5000 minimum salary respectively for Skill level 1, Skill level 2 and Skill Level 3 to avoid ban depending on your qualification. This requirement has been scrapped under the new UAE Labor Law Resolution.

What is your skill level??
Do you know what your Skill Level is? Now, if you belong to any of the above Skill Level, you will not face any labour ban if you change jobs as per notice period mentioned in your contract. If you have any doubts, let me know through comments. Also talk to MOHRE officials for their update on Skill Levels.
FAQ-Frequently Asked Questions on Skill levels in UAE
What are the skill levels in UAE?
According to the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE), there are five skill levels, ranging from Skill Level 1 for highly skilled people to Skill Level 5 for the lower skilled.
Skill levels 1, 2 and 3 require attested educational certificates while jobs of skill levels 4 and 5 do not need attestation.

Worker’s skill level does not affect the person’s ability to sponsor their families, as it has been removed from the list of criteria for applying for a family visa.

The certificate must be attested by the competent authorities

Hi! I’m still confused with how the labour ban will get lifted. I’m on my probationary period on my first job in Dubai. They are not paying me in full salary and they are delaying it as well. I’m on a limited contract. I’ve been in the company for 2 months now but I haven’t done any medical and visa stamping but I already have a preapproval for the work permit. I am a college diploma holder but it’s not attested that’s why it appeared on my contract as an Archives Clerk.
Now I received a job offer with 5,000aed+commissions for the position of Sales Executive. If I will resign in my current company now and will get an automatic ban will it get lifted?
Thank you and looking forward to your reply

Hello Deepak,
I have Dipolma certificates and my current post is Sales Excutive. this is my first contract with UAE and I am in probation period (finished 2 months and 15 days). I have got offered from other company as Sales Representative with good pay so I have given my resignation. Will i still get a ban?
I have been workings a civil engineer for 9 months and I have resigned 1st of August with a 30day notice period. Do I get a ban if I want to work for another company after my visa is cancelled and I exit the country etc…
Hi Deepak!
I graduated from a college in Dubai with a B.E (hons.) degree and got a job in a company which is part of the DMCC, as ‘technical engineer’ in Dubai itself. Now my company had asked me to cancel my student visa as they would issue a new entry permit for me and get me the work visa. The sponsor applied for the visa and I was asked to exit Dubai and re-enter when the entry permit was issued. I didn’t have my degree certificate with me at that time so I applied for the permit using the provisional certificate and got it attested. But unfortunately my visa could not be processed as they’d asked for the actual degree certificate and not the provisional one. Since the company does not want to cancel the visa process, they’ve agreed on just changing the job title to some ‘sales title’ and get the visa issued using my 12th std. marksheet. They told I’ll be able to change the job title once I get back in Dubai.
My question is, will there be any problem in future by getting the visa this way? Also how long will I have to wait until the job title changed as engineer?
Thanks.
Good day,

Hello I’m from Philippines. I’m know this is really irrelevant with the topic but I don’t get replies on other sites.
I’m currently working as housemaid in Abu Dhabi for 15 days and I just found out that I can only have day off on my payday and that I have to clean the house before going out.I’m working for 13-14 hours a day and I’m really exhausted. I’m just wondering if I can change employer. I read in a discussion that their is a ban and that they can send me back and that I have to pay for my visa. I dont want to go back I just wanted to work for another employer because I think I’m gonna be sick if I continue to work for them. Please give me some advice on what will I do. Thank.you very much
House maids do not come under the purview of labour law.
There is a new law being drafted by MOI.
skill level
Thank you for this very helpful information you provide us.
I just have a question. My profession belongs to level 1. I am working as a CLEANING WORKER FOR A COMPANY. If i have an attested credentials and i want to leave my job without completing 6 months and get a Shadows teaching job that offers higher salary than what i am getting now, is it possible that my ban will be lifted since shadow teacher job will only be given a Nanny or BABY SITTER visa? Do i have to get a job in line with my profession? Please let me know! Thank you very much!!
Dear Sir/Madam, recently i finished my 1st contract of 2 yrs and renewed. After 6 months I got an offer from another company offering better salary package and facilities but Dealing in the same business as my current company. Will I get a ban if I resign for the new company? Will I get any gratitude? Am a site supervisor with a diploma
Depends on your new salary offered and skill level.
hi, well I have Bachelor’s degree in chemestry.. and my package is 3000aed.. but i was given a a sheet to sign and give thumb impresion were it mentioned forth/fifth skill level……what does it mean??( during visa process)?
Not sure what you are talking about.
But I do feel, for your qualification, you should look for a better opportunity.
It means you come under unskilled category, if you decide to leave employer before 6 months under this category, you could face a ban.
As the article says
Other than Skill Levels 1, 2, 3 there are also skill level 4 & 5 who are primarily unskilled workers without any qualification. Examples of these professions include General labourers, house keepers, Construction Labourers, Helpers, Cleaners, Loading and Unloading workers, Office Boys etc.
Hi Deepak, the position in my visa is showing Secretary so I believe it belong to skill 1 but my salary is at 3,000 aed. If I switch job do I need to have higher rate given that my company belongs to free zone and I am in an unlimited contract. I’ve been employed for 15 months now.
If you job free zone, you will not have any labour ban.
I have a bachelor’s degree in Economics and statistics, but working as a security guard. what is my skill level?
As per qualification you should be in Skill level 1. Not sure as per profession. Please check with MOL/MOHRE.
thanks
Archive clerk is my job profession if I change the visa.after cancel the visa can be six month ban
Yes, that will depend on your skill level and new offer.
Greetings !!!

Dear Mr. Deepak, a company based out of Dubai had offered me a job with the designation as Manager in insurance sector (Operations department) and salary is 9K and is unlimited period contract. However they are providing labor contract under fourth/fifth level skill (where i am basically a doctor). As per the contract, article number 6, i cannot change the job unless i receive NOC from the employer. will i have a ban if i had to switch my job after sometime (if so, when can i) or, never i can switch?. Can you suggest me your views please.
Why are you agreeing to such clauses. If you have signed such contract (Labour Contract), you must adhere to this.
Just shut the f*ck up Deepak ch**iye…I see that you are annoying the bloggers here with your sadist comments…
Hi I am from the Philippines..my employer ask me to work here in Dubai.. everything is good and i already have my emirates ID.. Good thing my employer really processed it..
My concern is,
the contract i signed when i was in the PH. only states that my salary will be 2,000aed..as an ASSISTANT ACCOUNTANT.. i really wanted to come and work here so i signed even though i know it’s too small since i am an Accountant.. and i already have an attested Diploma but when i arrived here and my employer processed my papers he did not asked for it.. as i read this article i classify myself to Skill level 1.. but my salary is only 2,000Aed..
can i demand for an increase since i already signed the limited contract for 2yrss..or if i want to resign after 6mos if he dont increase me what will happen?
*i do not have the copy of my contract yet
thank you..
I think you can not demand but request to raise salary.
Again You are after demotivating people..Please die
Hi Deepak, I would appreciate & obliged if you can guide on following queries.
1. I fall in skill 3 with unlimited contract and have 3000 AED salary at the moment. Please confirm, will the ban be impose if i quit job before completion of 6 months (due to better opportunity).
2. Education was asked high school/secondary education for Sales Executive position. I’m graduate and recently completed my MBA Executive. So, in this case i need to get job having minimum 12K AED or more than 5K AED or any.
Thanks!
1. Yes, there may be labour ban.
2. Yes.
I’m on skill 1, and my visa is around 6 months. Will i be at risk for labour ban if I transfer company and the offer is below 12000?
I guess so.
Please confirm with MOL/MOHE.
Hi Deepak, so labour ban will be waived off as per salary scale even though the new employer is a direct competitor?
There is no such rule as direct competition.
Thank you. 🙂
Sorry, I don’t think that is possible!
Hi Deepak,
I’m on skill level 2, salary is above AED7K, under Dubai visa and I have just passed 1 yr of service. can my company still put ban on me?
Please speak to MOL/MOHRE as there are many variables.

Depends on your Skill level. Please read article.
This is skill 3 mentioned by Blosy. I also fall under this skill. I’m sales executive and have 3000 AED monthly salary with unlimited contract. I want to switch my job and want to resign before completion of 6 months. Pls guide, will my current employer or MOHRE impose ban on me or not?
I fall under the category of skill level 3 but my company has employed me as a general laborer and my salary is 1200 dirhams. Is there any way forward, thanks
I don’t understand your query.
Could you elaborate. What do you mean way forward??
I highly appreciate the work you are doing to create awareness among us the employees in UAE. What I meant by way forward was just that may be you have can help me demand for an increment in my salary or help me get to a better job.
This will depend entirely on the company policies.
Hello!
Could you tell pls, the salary for the 2 level are above 7000 dirhams should be the TOTAL (basic, plus transportation, plus accommodation etc.) like: basic 3600+4000+2400 for an example
,,,or basic salary should be 7000 AED plus allowance? like: basic 7000 + transportation 2400 + 4300 accommodation?

Yes, you could. You should request your company to stop any visa formalities.
PLus, I am not too sure about DMCC laws.

Depending on your contract (limited or unlimited), you may face ban.
But engineers (skill level) will usually not face labour ban

Hello,
I have visa as Mechanical maintenance Supervisor. But I am working as Customer Care Executive. I have completed the post graduation (Master degree). So kindly let me know, in which skill section…
Is there any option for my company to ban me, even if I cancel the job before completing the contract or other job.
I have a bachelor in education and have been teaching in a scholarship for closed to 2 years….all of a sudden a family issue raised which left me with no option that to stop working without given my employer 1 month notice, though I have been discussing with them that I will not resume with them after the spring break due to the issue.
Now they have sent me email to pay 1 month salary for my labour card cancellation since I didn’t give a 1 month notice letter.
My question is that I want to know what the law says about this issue, since am in husbands visa and my husband who gave an NOC has now said that I should not work anymore.
Hi, Goodmorning! I just want to ask if what will be my action to lift my labor ban because my company cancelled us without any reason, we only have our entry permit and they didnt proceed with our visa stamping as well as our medical exam, our job title in the contract is ordinary laborer where in i am a degree holder ,professional. Our entry permit was just given to us on the 30th of November lasy year and they cancelled us on the 11th of january this year. of Please help me solve my problem if what will be my next step coz there are many opportunities for me here but when i open about the issue that i have a ban they are rejecting me.
Dear Sir,
I am working for a company for many years. Now I got the promotion as Head of the Davison (IT) and before it was senior manger. Can you tell me the Designation which is suitable for the Post.
Dear Sir,
I am in probation period, my employer wants to terminate me with no reason at all and neither any notice, i have received. I am working as cashier but i have stamped visa of follow-up clerk. I have bachelor degree,MAB attested certificate.Please suggest me what should I do?
Hi. I recently spoke with an MOL official. He told me that your skill level is not a reflection of the education you have obtained. Rather, it is your job. In other words, you do not hold the rights granted to skill 1, 2, 3 simply because you have a certain degree. You hold the rights granted to skill 1, 2, 3 if you have been hired and are working in a job that is considered skill 1, 2, 3. For example, if you have a university degree but are working as a cleaner and are on a cleaning visa, then you are NOT considered skill 1, 2, or 3, and you do not have the rights granted to those who are.
Please correct me if I did not understand correctly.
Hi Lisa. I think I am baffled about this whole category game as well.
I am not a University Graduate, yet have an attested High School Certificate. That being said, now working as a Sales Executive, I have an offer to work with a different employer as a Manager. Though they have realised, acknowledged and offered based on my personal skills and experience (which is the smartest thing for any employer to do really), the employer and myself are not sure whether they can give me the title of Manager due to my current education certificate.
It should not be the case honestly. I wish officials could some how pick up the details of an individual’s employment experience while approving her/his new employment visa and designation. We all have experiences and it is sad to see most of us here in the forum to confirm their skill level based on only one factor which is education.
(For a fresher, the rule should be mandatory and would make total sense).

Hi,
I recently joined a company, they mentioned that the employee has to serve two months of notice period has to while leaving job. My question is, Is labor Law supersede these kind of causes employer put in the offer letter / contract?
Further I am degree holder professional, my 2nd question is, During probation period of six month if I want to move to next job should I have to serve 30 days notice, while in the contract is mentioned that employer can terminate contract at any time without notice period during probation period. Are these causes for both employer and employee or only employer?
thanks
Hello Deepak

Hi,
I need to seek some clarification.
My Sponsoring Company has offered me a Job with salary of 11,500 AED and mention a title of job/ profession as “Archive Clerk”. Can you kindly tell me in which skill level category, i belong to? Would there be any problem with this job title in future regarding sponsoring my parents/wife?
I will appreciate your early response.
Skill Level 1 includes: “the individuals who have a Bachelor’s degree (University Degree) or higher qualification; in short these are professionals. As per the new labour law resolution 765, employees belonging to this profession, will not face labour ban when changing the job provided they have served the notice period as set out in their labour contract.”
What does “belonging to this profession” mean? Does one “belong” by simply being a university graduate, or does one only “belong” if one occupies a job or position that is reflective of that professional degree?
For example, if one holds a university degree in geology but was duped into accepting an employment visa for cleaning, does one still “belong to” and is one still considered a professional? Or, does accepting the cleaning job waive the rights provided to those who would otherwise be considered professional?
I believe I found the answer. Your skill level is a reflection of the work/job you have been hired to do; it is not a reflection of your education/degree. If you accepted a cleaning job, then your skill level is that of a cleaner.
I do wish someone with more knowledge about laws could confirm this.

Hi,
I am a new guy here and I have some doubts on labor ban.
I am a master degree holder and I am working under a firm with low salary scale. Previously it was okay for me but now I have to do work like an office boy, some times more than 8 hrs of duty. They are not paying for extra. They don’t make any records for the same. Really I am fed up with this work.
How can I get rid of it?
In my visa my profession mentioned as archives clerk, so am i into skill 3 ?

If I resign then, and only after that time I will begin to search for a new job, I will face the labour ban? If not, how much time I have available to search and find for a new job?
Thank you in advance.

Hello Deepak,
If you are under skill level one and still working under your probationary period, and the employer issued resident permit for you but you decided to resign (let’s say after 3 months) and ur probation period mentioned in your contract is 6 months.
Would there will be ban in this case or you can join new employer easily?
Thank you,

Hi,
What if the person is a College graduate but he is working as a clerk, will he be considered as Level 3 worker?
Hi Sir!
I am an Engineer but my employer give me a Sales Representative visa, now I have been working for him for a year, he always promise me that he will change my visa after a few months. Now I have decided to resign. What will happen to me if we are not mutually agreed regarding my resignation? Will I get employer’s ban? Please explain to me, I will be waiting for your response.

I am a M.A., B.Ed., degree holder worked as a Vice Principal in delta English school, muwailiah, Sharjah, UAE.

Hi Deepak! I’m a BSc Psych graduate and currently working as a reservation agent. I have few questions… First, is reservation agent different from reservation officer? Second, my previous visa was archives clerk, now my new company applied the same thing and is now approved. In the future, how can I have a visa which is as per the designation that I’m hired for? Third, it was mentioned on my contract about the 4th & 5th skill level that I have to put my thumbmark if I’m under that. They asked me for it. Does it mean I was categorized as unskilled worker without any qualification? Hoping for your reply. Thanks!
Please I want to know if a cleaner belongs to category skill level 3 or not?
Emmanuel,
Skill Level depends on educational qualification and not the work you do.
I resigned my recently with a notice period according to 121 but I chose 116 cos I don’t like court case, but now my employer want to robe me with abscond case, what can I do to escape this. I belong to level 2. My employer didn’t want to cancel me and also deactivated my bio-metric access to the office.
ban law i understand but the expiation about the Salary required is complete. for what level what salary required to avoid the ban with what qualification.
Im working as a store keeper now but my visa state that my job description is follow up clerk will i face problem when applying for other company?

Now the manager said that he does not like my performance bcos I smiled and he suspended me for 1 month. I want to know, am I entitled to complete salary for those suspended days of no work? I want to know my right. Thank you
Respected Sir,
I am confused with my skill level, as i have Master degree in Commerce but profession in my visa is servant In this case which skill level fits to me and can i avoid labour ban? Please guide me. In ex law my visa was ban free.
Yes sir I understand now the categories but what if you have that qualification of skill number 3 and you are working as a cleaner due to the fact that is not the preffession mention above. Can yo still have a ban.,? And can I also know if the labour law permit women to do certain hard jobs like cleaning with acid, or climbing tall ladders? But first I need the clerrifications of the ban if you have a Diploma but work as a cleaner.
