Document background
The Job Offer Agreement serves as the foundational document establishing the employment relationship in the UAE, incorporating requirements under Federal Law No. 33 of 2021 and related ministerial resolutions. This document is typically used when extending formal employment offers to both new hires and internal promotions, ensuring compliance with UAE labor regulations while clearly articulating employment terms, benefits, and obligations of both parties. The agreement should be prepared before employment commencement and must include mandatory provisions required by UAE law, such as probation periods, working hours, leave entitlements, and end-of-service benefits. It forms the basis for obtaining necessary work permits and residency visas for expatriate employees.
