Questions & Answers
My employer hasn't updated my labor card. Who is responsible for paying the fine?
Hi,
My employer has still not updated my labor card, and it still shows as expired in MOHRE and UAE Pass, even though my Emirates ID and residence visa are valid.
When I checked the fine on the labor card, it was 400 AED. I have informed the PRO and the employer about this problem several times, but they are ignoring it.
I am now considering resignation with a notice period according to protocols. Is this 400 AED fine on me or them?
Please guide me!
Dear questioner,
File a complaint in MOHRE for non-renewal of the labor card and termination. Otherwise, there are chances that fines will be imposed on you if the employer does not clear them.
Dear Questioner,
Updating your labor card with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization (MOHRE) is typically the employer's responsibility.
This includes ensuring the information on your labor card matches your valid Emirates ID and residence visa.
The 400 AED fine is most likely due to the expired labor card. Since it's the employer's responsibility to update it, the fine should also be their responsibility.
