Document background
The New Hire Letter is a crucial document in the UAE employment process, serving as the initial formal agreement between an employer and a new employee. It must comply with UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 and related employment regulations, including specific requirements for wage protection, working hours, and leave entitlements. This document is typically used when extending formal employment offers to both local and international candidates, and it forms the basis of the employment relationship. The New Hire Letter should be drafted to include all mandatory elements required by UAE labor law while remaining clear and accessible to employees from diverse backgrounds. It's particularly important in the UAE context due to the high proportion of expatriate workers and the need to comply with specific visa and immigration requirements.
