Employment Agreement

A contract of service between and Employer and an Employee. An Employment Agreement sets out the compensation the Employee will receive (wages, salary, or equity), other benefits including bonuses, holiday entitlements, health insurance coverage, end-of-service gratuity and other terms of the relationship. In the UAE, Employers must use a standard form of Employment Agreement issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation or the relevant Free Zone authority but Employers typically supplement this standard form with their own, more comprehensive form of Employment Agreement.
