Guidelines
for travellers to the UAE
What
expenses related to my employment in the UAE should my UAE employer be expected
to pay for?
According
to UAE legislation, your company must cover the costs of your deployment and
recruiting. The costs of obtaining an entry visa and travelling to the UAE, as
well as the expenses of post-arrival processing requirements including the
payment of medical examination fees in the UAE and the issue of your residency
permit, are all included in this.
What
documents should I anticipate signing before I begin working in the UAE?
Prior
to flying to the UAE, your employer or recruiting agent should have made it
obvious to you what the terms and conditions of your employment will be when
you obtained a written job offer. Make sure you are aware of and comprehend the
complete terms and conditions of the employment offer, including your job title
and responsibilities, your salary and allowances, and the specific working
circumstances, before you sign if you are still being processed for travel to
the UAE. Request a copy of the employment offer from your recruiter, and keep
it with you in a secure location. The employment contract you are
requested to sign must have all of the same terms and conditions as those in
your initial job offer if you have already reported to work for your employer
in the UAE. Attention: Report right away to the closest labor office if you
are asked to sign a contract with altered terms and conditions, even if you are
told the changes will benefit you. You are entitled to the same terms and
conditions you accepted when you accepted the initial job offer, and contract
substitution is unlawful.
Advice
for travelers to the UAE
What
can I anticipate from my job once I get in the UAE?
Your
employment contract must be handed to you by your employer for signing.
Request
a copy of your employment contract from your employer, and keep it safe.
Your
residency permit will be processed by your company at no cost to you.
In
order to receive your residency permit and while waiting for it to be issued,
your employer will need your personal identifying documents.
Your
employer is required to give you back your personal identifying documents after
your residency permit has been granted.
Attention! Once your
residency permit has been granted, you are allowed to maintain all of your
personal identifying documents.
Start
your work
When
should I begin working and what should I do in case of a delay?
Upon
your arrival, your employer must give you the tools you need to do your job.
Report to the closest labour office if you are not given a work contract within
a week of arriving or if you are not able to begin working right away.
What
should I expect when I start working?
You
consented to a contract of employment. You now have obligations that are stated
in your contract and that you agreed to when you signed it. Before you sign
your employment contract, be sure you are aware of all of your obligations. You
must fulfil all of your obligations in order to be eligible for contractual
advantages like your salary and allowances.
Your
employer is expected to uphold his or her duties under the employment contract,
including paying your salary in whole and on time and providing working
conditions that are in line with the terms of the contract and UAE labour laws.
Likewise, you must uphold your obligations under your employment contract and
carry out your duties in a trustworthy manner.
Termination
of contracts and disputes
What
happens if I decide to leave my job after I've begun working?
If
your contract has a limited length, you are generally expected to continue
working for your company during that period (i.e. it has an end date). There
are specific actions you must take to terminate a contract if it has an
infinite duration (i.e., no end date), and these are laid out in your contract.
Even
if you must fulfil your duty to your employer, you cannot be forced to stay in
your employment relationship against your desire. Your working relationship is
a contractual one.
Your
employer or you may both agree to end your contract, provided that both parties
have given prior notice. A termination provision in your contract outlines the
procedures to be followed if both parties or just one decide to end the
employment relationship.
What
happens if my employer does not uphold his or her commitments under the
employment contract but I still want to work for them?
The
opposite party may begin the process of terminating the employment contract if
either party fails to fulfil his or her commitments. If your employer fails to
uphold his or her contractual obligations, contact the local labour office for
assistance. If your company owes you money, labour officials will help you
collect it and, if you'd like, they can even help you find another job.
What
happens if my employer determines that I have not complied with my contractual
obligations?
If
you breach the terms of your employment contract while your employer is
completely fulfilling his or her obligations to you, your employer may
terminate your employment. The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization
encourages you to request arbitration if you truly believe you have fulfilled
your obligations and that your employer's decision to terminate you is
unjustified. If arbitration is unsuccessful in resolving your conflict with
your employer, you have the option of taking your case to the labour court. The
UAE constitution ensures that you have the right to approach the courts in the
UAE.
Attention! After being
fired, if you want to look for work elsewhere, you must notify a labour office
first to prevent breaking the law. Coming forward and presenting your case to
the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization is the best way to ensure
that your rights are upheld.
What
should I do if I wish to end my employment agreement with my employer?
It
is crucial that you adhere to the prescribed legal procedures for ending your
contract. This means that even if your employer violates the terms of the
contract, you cannot just quit and look for employment elsewhere. You should go
to a labor office to get help instead. If you are qualified to receive a new
work permit, the Labor Office can assist you in recouping any debts owed to
you and in setting up placement in alternative employment.
You
will receive assistance and protection from your labor office.
Transferring
to a new company
A.
Can I work for another employer if my contract is terminated?
If
and when: You are qualified to get a new work permit.
Your
limited-term contract has expired, and you decide not to extend it.
You
terminate a renewed limited-term contract in accordance with the notification
and payment requirements.
If
your contract has an unlimited term, you give your existing employer the
required notice in accordance with the termination provision.
Regardless
of the length of time you have worked for them, your employer violates the
terms of the employment contract (as recognized by the Ministry of Human
Resources and Emiratization). If you are categorized as possessing skill levels
1, 2, or 3 according to the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization's
classifications, this latter "6 month" restriction is waived. Ask
your employer or a labor official at the local Labor Office if you are unsure
of your skill level.
You
are ineligible to get a new work permit in the following situations:
- Before the original limited-term contract's term has run its course, you decide to terminate your agreement.
- You break your limitless contract's notice clause obligation.
- You start termination of a renewed limited-term contract in violation of the notice and/or payment obligations.
- Your employment with your current employer has been terminated as a result of your clear failure to carry out your responsibilities or fulfill your commitments.
