To minimize the risk
of problems, it is better to be aware of the following:
Legally, the Arabic
version of the labour contract is more valid in the UAE. However, the employee
should be given an English version of the contract, too.
A verbal contract is
worth nothing. A written contract is a must, and the contract should be
carefully read before accepting a position.
In case a company does
not send a contract copy before arrival of the employee, or if the employee is
asked to sign on a different contract, the employee should be more cautious in
his approach.
In case of any issues
with the employer, the employee can seek a legal opinion, as there are plenty
of lawyers in the UAE to contact about such legal issues. However, it is better
to be aware that the one with the most influence will win. Else, the employee
can also contact his/her embassy for contact details of lawyers in UAE.
