Employing people in the UAE, explained
Eight hours a day, 48 a week, breaks, the overtime limits and premiums, the weekend day, and public holidays.
What employing people involves
The work permit, the written contract in the standard form, rights as minimums, the fines that frame everything, and the six steps the series follows.
The contract and probation
Work patterns, the written contract in two copies, fixed terms and renewal, registration, probation of up to six months, and the limits on a non-compete.
Leave and wages
Annual leave and when it must be taken, sick leave and how it is paid, maternity and parental leave, and the limits on wage deductions.
The file, safety and discipline
The worker file kept two years after service, the employer's standing duties, unemployment insurance, the only sanctions allowed, and the investigation before any of them.
