UAE employment essentials for new arrivals

Employment in the UAE is governed by federal labour legislation, with separate rules in some free zones. Always read your offer letter and contract carefully.

Check the contract type, probation period, notice period, annual leave entitlement and whether the package includes accommodation and transport.

Keep copies of every signed document in your Jobcod document vault so you can access them quickly when needed.
