UAE Employment & Labour Law
UAE Labour Law Deals with Employer-Employee Relationship
The UAE labour law is a federal legislation that applies to all emirates of the UAE, with enforcement by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and litigations adjudicated by the Federal and Local Courts of the UAE. The law covers all aspects of employer-employee relationships, including UAE nationals and expatriates, and is crucial to maintaining stability and integrity in society. It is worth noting that trade unions for the protection of labour rights are not present in the UAE, with matters being referred directly to the Ministry and then to the UAE Labour Courts when amicable solutions fail.
