What it means
What is MOHRE compliance?
The Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation (MOHRE) regulates the UAE's private-sector labour market — the relationship between every company and the people it employs. MOHRE compliance is the ongoing work of keeping that relationship, and your paperwork, exactly as the law requires.
It starts with your company's establishment labour card and an approved workforce quota, then flows through every hire: a MOHRE-registered employment contract, a work permit (labour card), and salaries paid through the Wage Protection System (WPS) on time and in full.
On top of that sit the rules that protect employees and shape your obligations — working hours, leave, overtime and end-of-service under the UAE Labour Law, and Emiratisation targets tracked through the Nafis programme for companies that meet the thresholds.
Handled well, it's invisible — payroll runs, permits renew, inspections pass. Handled badly, it's costly: WPS blocks, fines, quota freezes and labour bans that stop you hiring or renewing anything. We keep the file clean and the deadlines met so your team stays focused on the business.
What we handle
What MOHRE compliance covers
One team looks after every part of your labour file with MOHRE — the company registrations, each employee's permit and contract, and the ongoing obligations that keep you compliant.
Work permits & labour cards
Securing your workforce quota and applying for the work permits and labour cards that authorise each new hire.
Employment contract registration
Drafting and registering MOHRE-compliant offer letters and contracts, aligned to the UAE Labour Law and your policies.
Wage Protection System (WPS)
Registering and running your WPS so salaries are paid on time, in full and through the compliant channel — every cycle.
Emiratisation & Nafis
Tracking your Emiratisation targets, registering with Nafis, and keeping filings and hires on plan to avoid contributions.
Disputes & grievance support
Guidance on labour complaints, settlements and MOHRE proceedings — resolving issues before they escalate or cost you.
What's involved
What you need to stay compliant
The exact obligations depend on your workforce size, activity and whether you're mainland or free zone — but these are the essentials we set up, hold on file and keep current for you.
Valid establishment labour card
An active company labour file and establishment card — the basis for registering anyone with MOHRE.
Approved workforce quota
A MOHRE quota that sets how many work permits you can hold, sized to your activity and premises.
MOHRE-registered contracts
An offer letter and employment contract registered with MOHRE for every employee, compliant with the Labour Law.
Active WPS registration
Wage Protection System set up with your bank or agent, so salaries are paid on time through the approved channel.
Work permit for every employee
A current MOHRE work permit / labour card for each person, matched to their role and contract.
Emiratisation targets & Nafis
Where thresholds apply, registration with Nafis and a plan to meet your Emiratisation targets on schedule.
Compliant leave, overtime & gratuity
Working-hours, leave, overtime and end-of-service practices that line up with the UAE Labour Law.
A tracked renewal calendar
A schedule of every card, permit and contract expiry, with renewals actioned well before the deadline.
The signals
When you need MOHRE support
Labour compliance tends to surface as a deadline, a flag or a dispute. If any of these sound familiar, it's time to hand the file to a team that does this every day.
You're hiring or onboarding
New staff need work permits and registered contracts done right — without pulling your team off their day jobs.
WPS is flagging
Salary delays or a WPS non-compliance warning are putting your account — and new permits — at risk of a block.
Emiratisation targets are due
Your Nafis deadline is approaching and you need Emirati hires counted correctly to avoid monthly contributions.
An inspection is coming
A MOHRE labour inspection means contracts, WPS records and files need to stand up to scrutiny.
There's a labour dispute
An employee complaint or grievance has reached MOHRE, and you need it handled and settled the right way.
You've been fined or blocked
A MOHRE fine or a block on your file is stopping you hiring or renewing — and you need it cleared, fast.
