Emiratisation – Data entry

Online registration requirement:  As of January 1, 2017, companies with over 1,000 staff must register with Tas'heel online. 'Tas'heel' is the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation service provider, which processes work permits. Businesses must declare that they are an employer, and register every staff member; two employees who are UAE nationals must be appointed to enter the data.

Non-compliance can result in Tas'heel implementing a temporary ban on work permits.

Action required:

(1) Assess staff population. If the 1000 person threshold is met, complete the necessary registration.

(2) Assign data entry responsibility to two staff members who are UAE nationals.

Dubai Court Of Cassation Confirms Employment Rights Without Formal MOHRE Contracts In UAE Labour Disputes

A Dubai Court of Cassation ruling confirms that UAE employers cannot escape labour law obligations simply because formal MOHRE employment contracts were never executed. In a dispute involving AED 688,000 in claims, the court held that employment relationships may be proven through all legally recognised evidence, and that regulatory non-compliance by employers does not eliminate employee rights under UAE labour law.
