According to government officials, the UAE's labour laws commit to protecting both employers' and employees' rights. Especially in the event of a labour dispute between the two sides.
Both parties have the right to register a complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE).
Once a complaint is filed, it will be investigated and peacefully resolved. If the matter cannot be resolved peacefully, it will be taken to the court.

If the worker's employment is terminated as a result of the labour complaint, their work permit will be invalidated for six months after the complaint was filed with the labour court in UAE.
“Labour matters submitted to the court must be accompanied by a note including a statement of the disagreement, evidence from both parties, and comments from the relevant labour agency”, states Article 54 of the Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 on the Regulation of Labour Relations in the Private Sector, known as the 'UAE Labour Law.
The court will schedule a hearing for the claim and inform both parties within three days of receiving the request.
Article 10 states that no claim for any rights owed will be heard beyond one year from the date of the breach.
