About full-time jobs

Full-time work is the most common pattern in the UAE: you work for a single employer for the standard working week, in return for a monthly salary and the benefits set out in your contract. In the private sector, employment is governed by Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, in force since 2 February 2022, which recognises full-time work alongside part-time, temporary, flexible, remote and job-sharing arrangements.

Since that law came into force, all private-sector employment contracts are fixed-term and can be renewed, so a full-time job is usually offered on a renewable contract. Your employer obtains your work permit from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE), or from the free zone authority if it is licensed in a free zone, and normally sponsors your residence visa. Salaries in the private sector are paid through the Wage Protection System, which lets the authorities check that wages are paid on time.

Before signing, compare the offer letter with the contract registered with MOHRE or the free zone: job title, basic salary, allowances (housing, transport), working hours, probation period, notice period and annual leave should all match what you agreed.

Points to check

Leave and end of service

Under the federal labour law, full-time employees are entitled to 30 days of annual leave per year once they have completed a year of service, and to an end-of-service gratuity after at least one year of continuous service. Employers in DIFC and ADGM follow their own employment rules, which differ on some points.
