Employment in Ajman
Employment in Ajman is governed by the UAE Labour Law onshore, covering contracts, hours, end-of-service gratuity and termination, with MOHRE and the Wages Protection System overseeing compliance. Ajman Free Zone applies its own employment rules within that federal framework. There is no separate common-law employment regime.
Emiratisation targets under Nafis increasingly apply to onshore employers. We advise on contracts and policies, restructurings, end-of-service settlements, non-compete and confidentiality, and disputes before MOHRE and the Federal Courts.
