Every year UAE attracts people from across the world in search of employment. UAE is home to a large number of public and private organizations, from multinational organizations to SMEs. The country has extensive laws and regulations to protect its employers and employees from unfair treatment. The Federal law No. 8 of 1980 lays down the rules to be followed by both parties and the consequences of a breach. The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE), is the government body responsible for maintaining the labour law and providing employment law services such as ensuring that both parties receive their rights.

Employment disputes for Mainland companies are registered with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE).

Disputes are first settled through alternative dispute resolution methods, however in case a conclusion cannot be reached both Mainland and free zone company employment disputes can be settled through the UAE Courts.
