Labor Laws

Labor law is the study of the employment relationship and its legal
implications. It also involves the study of individuals’ rights at work, including their collective bargaining power, trade unions, health and safety at work, workers’ compensation, and discrimination.

The UAE has a comprehensive labor law framework, which includes laws governing employment contracts and termination of employment. The UAE has also ratified international conventions on human rights and labor standards that apply to the workplace.

The Labour Law applies mostly to all employees working in the UAE, whether they are UAE nationals or expatriates. It sets out the matters related to working hours, vacation and public holidays, sick leave, maternity leave, safety standards in the workspace and employee records.
