Labour Contract UAE – Overview
Labour Contract UAE refers to the MOHRE employment contract registered for a private-sector worker. UAE Government guidance states that the formal contract should be based on the job offer signed by both parties and must include key employment terms such as start date, type of work, workplace, conditions, duration and salary. The contract should be submitted to MOHRE within 14 days of the employee’s arrival in the UAE or from status change if the worker is already in the country.

Processing Time
MOHRE’s current employment process is highly digital. Contract-related processing is linked with the work-permit file, and official service cards can be completed quickly once the required job offer, permit and employee data are ready. The exact timeline depends on whether the contract is new, renewed or connected to another work-permit transaction.
How the Process Works
- Prepare the official job offer with correct employment terms.
- Employer and employee review and sign the job offer.
- Submit the work-permit / contract process through MOHRE.
- Ensure the final contract is consistent with the agreed job offer, except lawful agreed improvements or approved amendments.
- Complete electronic approvals and applicable fees.
- Keep a copy of the registered contract and verify the worker’s employment record.
