Q: Hi Ma'am, I have worked for a company almost 12 years as an accounts manager, and the company decided now to outsource a finance team. The outsourced company offered me a job and they will give me the same package, but I will be working in this company only for 3 months then I will be sent to other clients as well. This is an Indian outsourced company and I have taken a decision that I am not willing to work with an outsourced company which is unknown to me. I am working as per JAFZA visa for 12 years. The company gave me a letter with subject stating the cancellation of the contract and I will be served for 30 days notice period. So, can you please explain to me how I will go through in this situation and what benefits will I get as per JAFZA rules and regulations? Thanking you in advance for the help and I wait for your reply in this.

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, Since the UAE required all existing unlimited-term labor contracts to be converted to limited-term contracts, on which one (unlimited or limited) must the calculation of gratuity be based?

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.

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).
