UAE Employment contracts: Limited or Unlimited


Under the UAE Labour Law No. 8 of 1980 (as amended) (the “UAE Labour Law”), applicable to all employers in the UAE (save for those based in the Dubai International Financial Centre (“DIFC”)),

there are two types of employment contract employers can issue to employees; limited term or unlimited term contracts.

There are various distinctions between the two types of contract including the treatment of statutory end of service gratuity entitlement and termination consequences.

Limited term contracts

1. What is a limited term contract?

A limited term contract is a fixed term contract and is normally linked to the duration of the UAE

residency visa (i.e. two or three years, depending on the location of the employer). It will

automatically terminate at the end of term unless terminated earlier by either party, or renewed by both parties.

2. When is it appropriate to use a limited term contract?

Limited term contracts are useful where an employer needs to engage employees for specific

projects and the lengths of those projects are known in advance.

3. How may a limited term contract be terminated?

Limited term contracts generally have no notice provision and simply expire at the end of the term or on the date specified in the contract (unless terminated earlier by either party – see answers to questions 5 and 6 below).

Summary dismissal by the employer is allowed on the basis of one of the 11 exhaustive

grounds under Articles 88 and 120 of the UAE Labour Law. An employee may validly resign prior to the expiry of the contract under the provisions of Article 121 of the law.

4. How may a limited term contract be renewed?

A limited term contract may be renewed with the consent of both parties, or

alternatively, at the end of the contract, the parties could agree to convert the agreement to an

unlimited term contract.

5. What if an employer wants to terminate the contract early?

Under the UAE Labour Law an employee is entitled to “early termination compensation” of a minimum three months’ remuneration, including salary and allowances, (or the remainder of the term of the contract if the period remaining is less than three months ), if an employer seeks to terminate the contract prior to the end of the limited term.

6. What if an employee wants to terminate the contract early?

Unless the employment contract provides otherwise, if the employee wishes to terminate the

limited term contract before the expiry of the term, he will be liable under the UAE Labour Law to pay the employer “early termination compensation” of half of three months’ remuneration,

including salary and allowances, or half of the remuneration for the residual period if the contract has fewer than three months to run.

7. What happens if the limited term contract contains a notice period?

Where notice is provided for in a limited term contract, this will have to be provided to the other

party in addition to any early termination compensation due.

8. How is end of service gratuity calculated under a limited term contract, where the employer

terminates the contract?

An employee who has completed one year or more of continuous service is entitled to end of service gratuity calculated as follows:

-21 calendar days’ basic pay for each year of the first five years of service.

-30 calendar days’ basic pay for each additional year.

Provided that the entire total remuneration does not exceed two years’ pay.

An employee is not entitled to end of service gratuity where he has been terminated

summarily for gross misconduct pursuant to the provisions of the UAE Labour Law.

9. How is end of service gratuity calculated under a limited term contract, where the employee

resigns?

An employee is not entitled to an end of service gratuity if he resigns with fewer than 5 years of

service. If he has over 5 years of service, he is entitled to the same end of service gratuity as if he resigned on an unlimited contract (see answer to question 16 below).

10. Checklist for a limited term contract.

Under the UAE Labour Law, a limited term employment contract must, as a minimum specify:

• the date of its conclusion;

• the date on which work begins;

• the nature of the work;

• the workplace;

• the amount of the remuneration; and

• the duration.

Unlimited term contracts

11. What is an unlimited term contract?

An unlimited term contract is open-ended and may be terminated for various reasons under the

UAE Labour Law (see answer to questions 13 and 14 below).

12. When is it appropriate to use an unlimited term contract?

Unlimited term contracts are generally viewed to be more flexible and user friendly than limited

term contracts. For this reason, an unlimited term contract is more commonly used in the UAE

than a limited term contract. It can be used for employees who are intended to be permanent and are not undertaking project work (where the length of the project is known in advance).

13. How may an unlimited term contract be terminated by an employer?

Under the UAE Labour Law, there are two main ways for an employer to legitimately terminate an unlimited term contract:

a. For a ‘valid’ (i.e. performance related) reason on notice (the UAE Labour Law provides for a

minimum notice period of 30 calendar days. However, the parties are entitled to agree on

longer notice periods in the contract); or

b. Summarily (without notice and end of service gratuity) for one of the 11 exhaustive

gross misconduct reasons set out in Articles 88 and 120 of the UAE Labour Law.

14. How may an unlimited term contract be terminated by an employee?

An employee may resign by providing the employer with the contractual notice period (which must be a minimum of 30 calendar days, or longer, as per the contract of employment).

Alternatively, the employee may resign without notice as set our under Article 121 of the law.

15. How is end of service gratuity calculated under an unlimited term contract, where the employer terminates the contract?

An employee who has completed one year or more of continuous service is entitled to end of service gratuity to be calculated as follows:

-21 calendar days’ basic pay for each year of the first five years of service.

-30 calendar days’ basic pay for each additional year.

Provided that the entire total remuneration does not exceed two years pay.

Note that an employee is not entitled to end of service gratuity where he has been terminated

summarily for gross misconduct pursuant to the provisions of the UAE Labour Law.

16. How is end of service gratuity calculated under an unlimited term contract, where the employee resigns?

Where an employee resigns from an unlimited term contract, he will be entitled to an end of

service gratuity on the following sliding scale:

Period of service of between one to three years: 2/3 reduction;
Period of service of between three to five years: 1/3 reduction
If the period of service if over five years there is no reduction.

17. Checklist of items to include in an unlimited term contract.

Under the UAE Labour Law, an unlimited term employment contract must, as a minimum specify:

• the date of its conclusion;

• the date on which work begins;

• the nature of the work;

• the workplace;

• the amount of the remuneration.

Chairman, I read from page 300.....nobody mentioned even it's rate at the dubai currency

445, 446, 447

horluwahseye:
Please, gurus, who knows the 3 month visa fee in naira equivalent now?
Thanks

Same question from different people daily and on each page. why not read the thread even if its the last 3 pages.

biazarre:
OK guys, I was told by a friend dat 8people ar needed in Qatar for security & bakers job, I was told to pay 150k now n d rest will be done by d sponsoring company, I was told d salary is $2000 but I will b remitting $1500 to d acct of d sponsoring company for 9months just curious abt it n still doubting d true nature of d agreement.. pls help

LOL 2000usd and at the end of the 9months you must have remitted 5m Naira to the sponsor. this scam go sweet. PS: no employer would pay you in USD in the GCC.

engrgerald:
Thank you d gurus in the house for the good n selfless service you are doing here. Please, I want to find out the basic truth on the attestation of results, in the previous posts, some people advised that all documents(fslc, waec, bsc, etc) should be attested while others advised for just the highest certificate be attested. My questions are; 1. why will one need to attest the fslc, waec etc when he/she has a higher qualification which he/she will be presenting for any job?

2. Is the attestation of the highest certificate not a clear confirmation that the lower certificates (fslc and waec etc) are genuine because one must present their copies to MOE n MOF before the higher certificate will b attested and that they are what qualified the person to obtain the higher certificate?

3. Are there jobs in UAE that needs just fslc and waec and prohibit the presentation of any higher qualification which I think will be the reason one must attest them?

Note: pls NonnyG, Justwise, Natty, and the other gurus and wise elders in the house should please Address this issue and treat as very important. To find Oil in the North easy past to get Naira for your brothers n sisters here in 9ja.

1&2. I think you should confirm from those that did theirs recently cos it seems they changed the procedure.

3. its either skilled or unskilled. those with SSCE are termed unskilled and also they wouldn't ask for attested SSCE or FSLC. only Skilled job would ask for a Degree Certification which is Attested. Also some skilled jobs can be gotten without attestation because the Employer wouldn't want to offer you above 5k aed as the Ministry of Labor cannot process any job offer of 5k and above without seeing the attested result.
i hope this makes sense to you.

ken1982:
Abeg is it possible to get return ticket to nija at 150-170k now

So all those cashless wey guys dey post here about encounter with Immigration for airport na scam ..no be say money dey inside ATM.
Na wa ooO so person wey dey run more than one account here gats leave the accounts dormant abi Oga Boss dem how do one manage his/her finances (on Nostrol &Vostrol accounts).
..just trying to seek advice on financial discipline n management.

You can use your Nigeria ATM in UAE, but not all works and i don't have idea about First Bank's if it works (Confirm from your bank before leaving). buts its safer having USD, Pounds, Euro or AED at hand before leaving Nigeria.

europe4sure:
I finally got my EMIRATE ID
THE LORD IS GOOD

Congrats .

sidixon:

Alhaji Natty..weh don Sir! From his question, he said Can he hold naira n change to dirham/aed when he arrive the UAE

dont even try it.

I have B.Arts (English Education)
Please wat are my chances.

dacoza007:

I have a national diploma. thinking of working in dubai to support my family cos dad is retired n I have 2 younger brothers getting admission this year. the problem now is I don't know if certificate really matter for securing a well paying job in dubai or not. I want to know if I should finish my Hnd before coming to work or come with my national diploma I have presently. i read on here about attestation n all. naa advise I need

Now i understand you better, there are people with just SSCE that have a job that pays them 2500aed+ and there are those with MSC that earn 1500aed+ or Bsc with 1000aed+ Job, and also lots of those with B.Sc/M.Sc/ND/HND but not using their certificates to Work. it all depends on what kind of job you could find when you get to UAE, Having a Degree/HND doesn't guarantee you any job over there, so if you believe you can Make it to UAE, get yourself prepared Spiritually, Psychologically for the task ahead PS: don't hope on friends to succeed in UAE so u wouldn't get frustrated, try building Valuable contacts from LinkedIn (Don't sound desperate to them) before leaving Nigeria.

drkay:

Thank you bro, am coming on a 3month visa, not employment visa o. yes, I have enough cash that'll sustain me.

oh ok. then you need more than plan A,B and C.

drkay:
For reason best known to my bank, I am unable to access PTA. pls how do I bail myself out from those immigration guys esp if I meet stubborn ones who insist on seeing my PTA? can I hold naira? how best can I get dirham/ dollars when I land? the person that helped me with my visa is going to be at work at my expected time of arrival so I need to mark out my own plan which will definitely involve cash. My plan B and C guys have gone on gost mode. I am checking out on Thursday.

Go and buy USD or AED from those Foreign Exchange guys. any amount you have is ok since you have a Work visa but make sure u have enough to sustain you till you get your first pay. cos owu sa gi ooo ke ega mara Ife na Dubai. You don't need any plan b or c, just inform your agent and the company you are arriving, some might send a driver to pick u up at the airport

dacoza007:

Ukijioma88:
Good day house. Please is there anything like 3years employment visa in Dubai. A friend working over there is telling me something about it. Your response will be highly appreciated as I wish to start my processing

Most Freezones in UAE offer Job Seekers 3 years Contracts. unlike the Labour Contract of 2Years.

Cypha8:





Wow many thanks nattybanta for the detailed response, it answers my 2nd question. Now I know what to do regarding documentation

I have a reasonable job offer and my coy is doing my residence visa which I will enter UAE with. Your response alluded that I should send my spouse a visit visa which she would use to enter UAE before I sponsor her.

Does this mean I need to first go to UAE before she joins me? OR can she accompany me on a visit visa while I enter with my residence visa, then I sponsor her as soon as my medicals are done and my work permit stamped on passport? That's why I intend doing 3 months visa for her, this should be enough time to get salary certificates et al.

If it's possible to go with her from the onset, which do you recommend?

Thanks...

Yes She can accompany you on visit visa, then you can put her on your visa once all the necessary things are done.

chucks231:
please guys who knows the meaning of ADCO JP PTW...I want to know the relevance as I am told the training for the job I embark on it's needed..please help

Don't know if UAE requires 3 or 6months.

Its always advised to have minimum of 6 months left cos of 9ja Immi. But UAE allows 3 months validity.

Ibroh24:

Like Notification of result, the result certificate and the whole pages of my transcripts? And my -waec is it the original with the passport photo or just the normal result? Thank you

You were supposed to Attest any degree gotten from another country at their Ministries before you left their country, Ministry of Education/Foreign Affairs only attests Results from Nigerian Schools.

Cypha8:
Good day house. Please can someone tell me how to sponsor spouse in UAE? I have the following questions:

2. Would I need to authenticate marriage certificate at MOFA and UAE embassy in Nigeria?

Thank you...

You first of all need to be in UAE with a reasonable job before sponsoring your wife.

Residency visa for your wife

The residency laws of the country allows married expatriate men who are living and working legally here to bring their wives to join them in the UAE.

Any man can sponsor his wife if he complies with the residency laws.

The residency visa period for expatriates is usually between one and three years and according to the law of the country, the residency visa for wives is valid for three years.
In order to bring your wife here your salary should be not less than Dh3,000 plus housing or a total remuneration of Dh4,000.
Application
If the husband is the breadwinner and supports his wife, he should submit the application and sign it.
If the wife is young (under 25 years) then approval of the director-general of the naturalisation and residency department is needed.
The husband can send a visit visa to his new spouse and she can enter the country on this visa. After arrival the husband has to apply for a residency visa for his wife. This should be done within 60 days or the husband will be fined Dh25 for each day of delay. The husband should submit a document from his embassy or consulate to prove that he is her sole supporter. That document should be attested by the foreign ministry.
Attestation
If the couple was married in their home country and the wife followed the husband here later, the legal marriage certificate should be submitted in order to obtain a residence visa for the wife.
All documents should be attested and notarised by the authorities in the home country. The documents should be attested by the court, the immigration authority, UAE embassy in the home country of the wife and approved by the foreign ministry of her home country.
The wife will then be granted a residence visa for a housewife. She will not be allowed to work under this visa and her sponsor in this country will be the husband.
Procedure: Documents to bring
First make sure your salary is at least Dh4,000 to sponsor your wife
Apply for visit visa first so that she can enter the country
After she arrives here, the husband can apply for a residency visa at the emirate which has issued your residency visa
The documents needed include a photocopy of your passport
A photocopy of the wife's passport
A copy of your eGate card (in case you apply in Dubai)
Marriage certificate attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Submit your work contract, which should be attested
An approved salary certificate, if working for the government
Medical checkup of the wife at an authorised hospital or clinic
Application fee (e-form) is Dh100
Additional Dh100 for urgent application fee (e-form)
Dh10 Empost label (optional)
After the end of her three years' residency, the visa has to be renewed
Here you will need:
Her original passport
A copy of the husband's passport
Three passport-size pictures of the wife
Your work contract (if you work in a private company, or salary certificate if you work for the public sector)
Fees is Dh100 for each year of residency visa renewal (the maximum is 3 years)

Honestakay:
Please gurus in the house! I applied for 14days Dubai visa and my travel date is 1 - 11th. The visa is here but it’s valid till 9th. What do I do? Someonsaid visa starts counting from when you enter

14days visa starts counting from when its issued. so you have to enter and exit before 9th december.

Sicilyjoe:
House does your visa start reading immediately is out or when u arrived the country and the three months will start counting ? What I mean is assuming my three months visa is out and I stay up to one month before I travel with it, does it mean I have only two months left ?

Once the visa is out, you have 60days to enter UAE or it becomes invalid. then once you are in UAE you have 90days permit.

Lordwap:

Is a working visa.
I just need someone in Qatar or south Korea to share more light. For a young hustler.
How is live over their also how is the pay .
Thanks

The Employer should tell you all these since they are employer visas to both Countries , then you make your choice.
