Hiring an employee on a temporary trial basis and drafting the contractual documents
Hello, I am looking to hire a candidate on a temporary trial basis. Even though DED (where my Trade License is registered) allows this facility, it is not available for employees to have a residency visa on an FZ License.
I am looking for a solution because I would like to have a contract with this candidate that includes an NDA and a Non-Compete that is valid by Dubai courts or by DIFC and is enforceable if this candidate misuses sensitive company data during or after his employment term.
Please advise a solution!
Hello,
As you are hiring for a free zone, though, in some free zone the labor law is still applicable.
We can draft you the contract which will be applicable law as per your trade license. Though specific provisions are not there in labor law, only as per Art 127 of the UAE Labour Law, some provisions are there.
However, both DIFC and federal courts accept non-compete and NDA clauses or agreements.
Please contact us via phone or email for further information.
