Hiring staff or renewing employee contracts in the UAE? Download our briefing table which outlines the key features of the new Labour Law.
Employers in the UAE should now be fully compliant with 2015 Labour Law changes made under Ministerial Decrees 764, 765 and 766, which have been in force since the start of the year.
These decrees specifically relate to:
- Standard work contract
- Terminating a work contract
- Granting a new work permit
The changes are summarised in a PDF which you can download at the bottom of this page.
Any and all provisions of previous ministerial decrees that are contrary to, or inconsistent with, the provisions in the present decrees are invalid. All previous laws regarding granting of work permits are cancelled following the implementation of the new law.
