The Ministry of Labour (MOL) or Department in Dubai and the UAE governs all work related
issues. The MOL is responsible for issuing work permits (or labour cards) and imposing labour
bans on those who are entitled to one. The Ministry of Labor does not issue residence visas or
entry permits, they are dealt with by the relevant UAE immigration department (in Dubai, the
DNRD).
the UAE ministry of Labour is a comprehensive the regulates of labour relations between
employers and employees. It is an advanced and balanced law that clarifies the rights and duties
of all parties concerned and brings numerous benefits to employees and workers.

company at immigration department and the ministry of labor. Without this procedure company

One-year ban for breach of Limited contract
The one-year ban for workers who breach contract terms or who absent themselves from work
without a legitimate reason before the end of their fixed-term contract will continue,
Non-competition clause does not apply if employer fails the contract, the clause included in
employment contracts to prevent an employee from working for a competitor does not apply if
the employer does not meet the contract obligations, and companies would lose the right to stop
them from getting other jobs if the firm failed to honour its legal or contractual obligations.
an employer cannot ask to enforce a ban on a worker who joined a competitor if he did not fulfil
his contractual obligations.
The non competition clause should not be applied for anybody who is below 21 years, it should
only be applied for jobs in which the employee would have had access to the company's secrets
or acquainted with its clients. It is important to understand that the non competition clause
cannot be used merely as a mean to prevent the movement of workers and cannot be applied for
all job categories.The real purpose of the clause is to safeguard the employer's lawful interests,
the new law completely scraps the "no objection certificate" (NOC).
It is not the employer's right to approve or disapprove switching of jobs.The employee will be
granted a period of 30 days once his contract expires to find a new job and sponsor. This period is
basically given to the employee to complete procedures such as the issuance of a new visa in
accordance with the Ministry of Interior's procedures and signing the contract with the new
sponsor. However, if the period expires and the employee's paperwork is not completed, he will
be considered illegal.
When the contract expires, the employee is granted a special permit by the ministries of labour
and interior, allowing him to stay in the country for 30 days to complete paperwork and finalise
procedures for the new work visa under the new job and employer. Under the new system, if an
employee completed the two-year working period, the employer had no right to force an
employee to stay on the job and would no longer face a six-month ban, since the new system
scrapped the NOC.
once a job contract expired or was legally terminated, the Labour Ministry would have the
authority to allow workers to take up new jobs without the consent of former employers or the
so-called NOC.
but the employee must inform his sponsor that he will not be renewing his contract 30 days before its expiry
"Workers, skilled and unskilled, who end their job contracts legally and complete at least two
years of service, will get a labour permit outright," he said.Previously, these workers had to
complete at least three years of service with their previous employers and had to obtain an NOC
letter.Professional and skilled workers in the first three categories according to the Uniform Gulf
Occupational Classification would also be exempt from the six-month ban.

companies would lose the right to stop them from getting other jobs if the firm failed to honour
its legal or contractual obligations if the company not paying salaries for 60 days and not offering
proper accommodation etc.
the job classification
When joining his new job, the worker should be classified in the first, second or third professional
class and that his salary should be not less than Dh12,000, Dh7,000 and Dh5,000 if he is in the
first, second and third class respectively.
New rule reduced the validity of labour cards to two years from three, starting from January 1,
2011. This practically gives expat workers the freedom to switch jobs without a no-ojection
certificate (NoC) from the employer.
The previous law had ensured workers get a six-month ban
forcing them to leave the country if their employers refuse the
NoC.
Ministry of Labour has divided establishments in groups based
on the extent of their compliance with labour legislations,
systems and standards, cultural diversity approach and on-time
payment of salaries, provision of accommodation, and
emiratisation quota.
While the old system revolved primarily on the cultural diversity mix in firms, the new one allows
the firm to move higher on the classification scale giving them slew of rewards based on their
commitment to certain standards like emiratisation, wages and housing," he indicated.
He said the new resolution divides companies into three main categories: The first group which
tops the scale; The second which includes the current three categories A,B and C and the third
one which along with the first are the newcomers.

A company can be upgraded to second level irrespective of the diversity provided the skilled class
is not less than 20 per cent of total workforce. Similarly, companies can be downgraded if they
violate labour laws, clarified Labour Ministry.
Employment fee for facilities under Category A has been reduced from Dh11,000 to Dh300 a
year. Transfer fee for companies under Category B, which earlier paid Dh11,500 for three years
has been reduced to Dh1,500 for two years. Firms under Category C, which shelled out Dh12,000
now need to pay just Dh2,000 for two years.
The ministry cancelled all fees for employment of nationals in the private sector to boost
emiratisation. Similarly, fees for recruitment of GCC nationals have also been lifted.
