- BY ZAINAB HUSAIN Features Writer

Need to know when your job contract expires or how many days off you are entitled to? You can easily pull up your employment contract on your phone to review any employment details.

Although every employee in the UAE is entitled to obtain a copy of the labour contract issued and attested by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE), you may not always have the physical document at hand.

Fortunately, you can download your job contract online through MoHRE's website and app for free. By having this saved on your phone or laptop, you can access it anytime.

There are two ways to check:

Through MoHRE website

■ Log on to mohre.gov.ae and click on 'Services' on the menu tab. Select 'View Approved Contract'and choose the option 'Search by EIDA No'.

■ Enter your Emirates ID number and click on 'Request One-Time Password (OTP)'. The OTP will be sent to the mobile number registered with your Emirates ID.

■ Enter the OTP and click on 'View My Contract'. You will then be able to view your labour contract and save it on your computer.
