The UAE has expanded protections for domestic workers with new regulations:

  • Wage Protection System (WPS) is now mandatory for domestic workers, ensuring timely salary payments.
  • All litigation fees are waived for domestic workers filing complaints, with cases heard urgently.
  • Employment contracts now have a standard two-year term, with automatic renewal if both parties continue working together.

Why This Matters

These legal updates aim to improve working conditions, protect domestic workers, and ensure ethical employment practices. Employers must comply to avoid legal consequences. If you employ domestic workers, consider consulting a legal expert to stay informed.

๐Ÿ”— Stay compliant & promote fair labor practices!
