Validity of the employment contract if based outside the UAE
Hi,
I was employed by a DMCC business but was based overseas (in Australia), not working in the UAE.
My employment contract was not registered with DMCC or MOHRE and I am looking to confirm what specific law requires UAE businesses to register employee contracts.
Is this requirement applicable to workers based overseas?
I'm in dispute with my employer and have been advised that my employment contract is not valid due to it not being registered.
Many thanks.
Dear Questioner,
This is not true, your contract is valid and does not require to be either written or registered to be valid.
The court will consider the contract valid regardless of registration or the location of the employee.
