If you are planning to move to the UAE and obtain a MoHRE labour contract, it is important to fully understand the legislations of the UAE Labour Law. Making sure that you are in compliance with these laws will spare any hustle that may come after.
The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) plays a crucial role in maintaining a secure working environment within the UAE, including Dubai. And this happens by issuing work permits to employees across various sectors. Besides, MOHRE ensures that labor regulations are followed and workers’ rights are protected which contributes to the overall safety and well-being of individuals working in this dynamic city.
The Labour Law is not something recent. In 2022, Labour Laws were issued to oblige employees and employers to comply with new labor policies and procedures. It replaced the Federal Law No. 8 of 1980 with some new amendments that could shake up working life. All employers must amend existing contracts and modify future ones. They are responsible for ensuring that all employees are registered with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE). The good news is that you can modify the existing contract or register a new one online.
As an expat employee, the MoHRE domestic worker contract is your official working agreement. It is signed by you and your employer to bind you both by all legal terms and conditions. The agreement should cover ranges of scopes like the following:
Nature and scope of work.
Detailed timeframes and schedules.
Work responsibilities.
Benefits of the employees.
The agreed-upon salary

1.Age should not be less than 18 years or more than 60 years

2.Relative salaries and job responsibilities
