UAE Labour law is a federal legislation applicable to all emirates of the UAE, enforced by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affair, with litigations adjudicated by the Federal and Local Courts of the UAE.

Labour Law covers all aspects of employer-employee relationships in the UAE, be them UAE nationals or expatriates. The correct application of these laws is the key to stability and integrity of the society. Trade unions for protection of labour rights are unheard of in the UAE. Matters are directly referred to the Ministry and then taken to the UAE Labour Courts only when chances of amicable solutions to resolve issue have failed.
