Employment in Fujairah
Employment in Fujairah is governed by the UAE Labour Law onshore, with MOHRE and the Wages Protection System overseeing compliance, while the Fujairah Free Zone and Fujairah Creative City apply their own rules within the federal framework. Port, shipping and industrial employers also carry sector safety and workforce obligations.
We advise on contracts and policies, shift and offshore-work arrangements, restructurings and end-of-service settlements, non-compete and confidentiality, Emiratisation (Nafis) for onshore employers, and disputes before MOHRE and the Federal Courts.
