In our October 2015 newsletter, we published an article regarding the (then) imminent Ministry of Labour ministerial resolutions. At the time of writing, the Minister of Labour had not yet released the official resolutions or the revised Ministry of Labour (MoL) prescribed form employment contract. Having now received the official resolutions and revised MoL employment contract, we have updated our commentary below. By way of reminder, the resolutions took effect from 1 January 2016. They do not formally amend Federal Law No 8 of 1980, as amended, on the Regulation of Labour Relations in the Private Sector (Labour Law) and only have direct effect to employment relationships governed under the MoL's jurisdiction.

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.
