Document background
The Provisional Appointment Letter is a crucial document in the UAE employment process, serving as a bridge between initial candidate selection and formal employment. This document is typically used when an employer wishes to secure a candidate's commitment while necessary procedures (such as visa applications, security clearances, or medical tests) are being processed. The letter must comply with UAE Federal Law No. 33 of 2021 and related employment regulations, making it a legally significant document in the employment process. While not the final employment contract, the Provisional Appointment Letter sets out key terms including compensation, benefits, and conditions precedent to permanent employment, providing both parties with clarity on the preliminary agreement while maintaining the provisional nature of the arrangement until all required conditions are met.
