Document background
An Offer Letter With Probationary Period is a crucial document in the UAE employment process, used when extending formal employment offers to both local and expatriate candidates. This document must align with UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 and related employment regulations, serving as the foundation for the employment relationship. It is typically issued after successful interviews and salary negotiations, but before the formal visa process begins. The document includes essential employment terms, including salary, benefits, and notably, a probationary period of up to six months, during which both parties can assess the employment fit. It's particularly important in the UAE context as it often serves as a preliminary document for visa processing and must include specific provisions required by local labor laws.
