ABOUT US JOBS SOLUTIONS SECTORS RESOURCES CV DROP CONTACT US PEO SERVICES IN THE UAE Helping Businesses Expand Into The United Arab Emirates With Expert PEO Services Home Solutions PEO Services Expand into the UAE's international business hub using our PEO services in United Arab Emirates Known for the world's tallest building as well as strong global connectivity, the United Arab Emirates is fast becoming one of the most popular locations for business expansion. Although typically known for its successful oil and gas industry, transport, financial services, technology, tourism and construction industries have also become thriving sectors for the country's seven emirates. As well as reaping the benefits of this country's thriving business sector, foreign-owned, expanding businesses can take advantage of the UAE's 45 Free Zones. With one or more industries allocated to each zone, there are special tax, import regulations and customs in these areas that are designed to provide lucrative business environments for global companies. Despite the UAE's robust business infrastructure, global connectivity, attractive Free Zones and relatively relaxed international trading rules, expanding into the United Arab Emirates isn't straightforward. The country's guidelines for expanding businesses are complex and can differ between the UAE's seven emirates, as well as the 45 Free Zones, with businesses having to meet each emirate's or zone's respective legislation. Some especially key employment legislation set out in the UAE's Labour Law includes: National Holidays with particular focus around prayer times and Muslim holidays Probation periods - these must not exceed six months No legal minimum wage but salaries must meet basic needs of the employee Overtime must not exceed two hours per day Working week runs from Sunday to Thursday. Friday is a weekly holiday for employees Employment contracts must be written in Arabic alone. In addition, all foreign employees looking to work in the UAE must obtain a valid pass or work visa before they begin work with the cost fronted by their employers. There are two types of work permits in the United Arab Emirates, skilled and unskilled, with extensive documentation required to apply. Add to this that, as per UAE law, employers must provide a ticket to the employee's native country when their visa is cancelled and if further employment is not found. The combination of the UAE law, work permits and changing legislation for each Free Zone or emirate makes expansion into the UAE a challenging affair. This is where our expert PEO services come in.
