Document background
The Offer of Appointment is a crucial document in the UAE employment process, serving as the foundation for the employer-employee relationship. It is typically issued after successful completion of recruitment procedures and before the formal employment contract is signed. The document must comply with UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 and related employment regulations, making it essential to include all mandatory employment terms required by UAE law. The Offer of Appointment should clearly state the position, compensation package, benefits, working hours, and other key terms of employment. It is commonly used across all industries in the UAE for both local and expatriate hires, and once accepted, forms the basis for visa processing and subsequent employment documentation.
