Q: Hi. I am here in the UAE on a visit visa. A company gave me an offer letter, but it's already 2 months since I'm working here and still, they did not process my employment visa. Now, my visit visa is going to expire soon. If they do not make my visa, can I file a case on the basis of offer letter? Where can I go for justice, and what do I have to do? Please advise me. Thanks

Q: Good day, Madam, Please after thumbprint has been made by the employee, how long will it take the person to get his or her visa?

Q: Hi, A friend of mine (Now In India) applied for a job in a UAE company and he received the offer letter. He also submitted a signed JOC (Job offer certificate) before one month, but still did not receive the employment visa. When I called the Company HR department, he told me that the visa is under process and the current status is under security approval. My question is what's the security approval and how many days does it take for security approval? And when will he receive the visa?

Q: Dear sir/madam, I have resigned within the probation period and my visa is cancelled by the company. Now, they have sent me an email stating: You can leave the country or change status upto 09-11-2022. You are required to send exit stamping in case you leave the country or visa copy in case you arrange visa for yourself. Do I need to submit the above documents?

Three new ministerial decrees containing a new set of rules for the labour market were issued by the UAE Ministry of Labour last year and came into force on the 1st of January this year. The decrees are expected to alter the contractual relationship between employers and workers in the UAE.

The UAE has adopted a major reform in its legislative system that brought about 40 new laws and amendments to the company law, criminal law, personal status, among others. The amendments aim to develop the legislative structure in various sectors, the labor law being one of these, was the most recent. We try in this article to shed light on the changes introduced with the new labor law and their significance on both, the employer and employee.

The provisions of this Law, known as "UAE Labour Law", govern the relationship between employers and employees and other labour matters in the United Arab Emirates. There are special labour related regulations applicable in some of the free zones in the UAE.

According to this Decree, tentative approval to admit a foreign worker for the purpose of employment in the UAE cannot be granted until an Employment Offer that conforms with the Standard Employment Contract is duly signed by the employee and presented to the Ministry of Labour.

The provisions of this Decree-Law, known as "New UAE Labor Law", govern labour relations in the private sector of the United Arab Emirates. The New Labor Law repeals the previous UAE Labor Law (Federal Law No. (8) of 1980).
