Questions & Answers
Which contract is valid in UAE, labor or employment contract?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have a UAE labor contract that is valid from September 29, 2021 to September 29, 2023.
I also have an employment contract with my firm that was signed in November 2022, which states the contract duration to be until September 30, 2025.
I have since obtained a golden visa. Which contract is valid?
I do not want to continue to work with the firm after September 29, 2023.
Dear Client,
Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.
The valid employment contract in the UAE is the one registered with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization (MOHRE), which specifies a duration from 29-Sep-2021 to 29-Sep-2023.
This contract is essential for legal purposes and labor law compliance. The internal employment contract with a later date (30-Sep-2025) may include additional terms but should not override the MOHRE-registered contract.
If you do not wish to continue working with the firm beyond 29-Sep-2023, notify your employer according to the notice period in the MOHRE contract.
