According to the law,
remuneration is paid to the employee in return for his services under a labour
contract, whether in cash or in kind, annually, weekly, monthly, daily, hourly,
on a piece-rate, or productivity linked. Wage also includes cost of living
allowances and incentives in recognition of honesty or efficiency, provided,
these incentives have been specified in the labour contract or are part of
internal rules of the establishment.
The term 'basic wage'
is the wage specified in the labour contract as agreed between the parties for
the term of contract. Any allowances of any nature are not included in basic
wage. The UAE labour law does not prescribe any minimum wage. Wages can be paid
in any currency, including UAE Dirhams or other currency, as agreed by the
parties mutually.
