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 mobile app for free. By having this saved on your phone or laptop, you can easily access it anytime.
