Reviewing your contract before signing it is a common advice given to workers in the UAE. Even a better idea is to review your contract with a legal advocate in Dubai by your side. Though this is a common advice to people, not all are heeding its timeless warning.
There are plenty of reasons you need to review your contract. Here are some of them:
UAE Labour Law is quite complicated
If you are an expat in the UAE, chances are, you are not familiar with the UAE Labour Law. You might even think that the labour law in the UAE is almost the same as in your home country. However, this is not almost always the case.
Federal Law No. 8 of 1980 or better known as the UAE Labour Law stipulates the different aspects of how employees and employers should perform their duties.
Before signing your contract, determine whether you are signing a limited or unlimited contract. A limited contract is less restrictive. It typically allows you to end your contract with a 30 days' notice. On the other hand, before your break from your unlimited contract, there are different charges to pay and negative consequences you need to go through.
