Document background
The Non Compete Letter to New Employer is a critical document used when an employee transitions between companies in the United Arab Emirates while bound by non-compete restrictions from their previous employment. This document becomes necessary when an individual accepts a new position and needs to formally disclose their existing non-compete obligations, as required under UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 and Ministerial Resolution No. 297 of 2022. The letter serves multiple purposes: it demonstrates transparency and good faith, helps prevent future disputes, and allows the new employer to understand and accommodate any restrictions in the employee's role. The document typically includes details about the scope, duration, and geographical limitations of the non-compete clause, ensuring compliance with UAE labor laws while facilitating a smooth transition to new employment.
