What is Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE)?
The UAE federal ministry that regulates private-sector labour relations, including work permits, employment contracts, the Wages Protection System and Emiratisation targets. It oversees employer obligations on pay, leave and end-of-service entitlements for many mainland employees, while free zones may have their own frameworks. Confirm which rules apply to your workforce and the current obligations with MOHRE.
