What is Limited-Term Contract?
A fixed-term employment contract that runs for a defined period and can be renewed by agreement. Under the UAE's current Labour Law all private sector contracts are fixed-term, replacing the older unlimited model. Ending the contract early can trigger compensation depending on who terminates and why. The end-of-service gratuity still applies on completion. Confirm the renewal and termination rules with MOHRE or a qualified adviser.
