In the workplace, the connection between employers and employees is crucial. Clear rules are essential to keep everyone safe and happy. That’s why countries have labour laws; in the United Arab Emirates, it’s called the UAE Labour Law.

What is the UAE Labour Law?

Think of labour law as the rulebook for employers and employees. It outlines everything from how salaries are paid to what types of employment contracts are allowed. There’s even a system for settling disagreements if they arise.

This law, officially called Federal Law No. 8 On the Organisation of Labour Relations in the UAE, applies to the private sector. It spells out the nitty-gritty of employment, like how wages are paid and what legal contracts are.
