Document background
The Contract Job Offer Letter is a crucial document in the UAE employment process, used when offering fixed-term employment positions to both local and expatriate candidates. It serves as the preliminary agreement between employer and employee, setting out the fundamental terms of employment in compliance with UAE Federal Law No. 33 of 2021. This document is particularly significant since the UAE mandated that all employment contracts must be fixed-term, with a maximum duration of three years (renewable). The letter must include specific elements required by UAE labor law, such as compensation details, working hours, benefits, and contract duration. It forms the foundation for subsequent employment documentation, work permit applications, and visa processing. The document is designed to protect both employer and employee interests while ensuring compliance with local labor regulations and employment practices.
