Document background
The Job Offer Letter With Probation Period is a crucial document in UAE employment relationships, used when extending formal employment offers to both local and expatriate candidates. It serves as the preliminary employment agreement, incorporating key terms required under UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, including the mandatory probation period provisions. This document is typically issued after successful recruitment negotiations and before the formal visa process begins. It must detail specific employment terms including salary structure (aligned with UAE Wage Protection System requirements), benefits, working hours, and leave entitlements. The probation period, which cannot exceed six months under UAE law, allows both parties to assess suitability for long-term employment. The document forms the foundation for the subsequent employment relationship and is often required for visa processing and labor approval procedures.
