— — — ⚠️ This is a boilerplate template, not legal advice. It is written for UAE MAINLAND businesses under MOHRE (Federal Decree-Law No. 33/2021 and its executive regulations); free zones (DMCC, JAFZA, and others) have their own labour contract portals and forms, and DIFC/ADGM are separate common-law jurisdictions with their own employment law and data-protection law (DIFC Employment Law, DEWS instead of gratuity, and data-protection rules other than the PDPL) — confirm which regime applies before use. Emirate-level rules (Dubai DET/DM, Abu Dhabi ADDED/DCT/ADAFSA, Sharjah SEDD, and others) also diverge. Have this template reviewed by a UAE-qualified lawyer and verified against the current MOHRE, WPS, PDPL, and emirate-specific requirements before use.
