What is a Limited Contract in UAE?
A limited (or fixed-term) contract is an employment agreement with a specified duration (typically up to 3 years, renewable). Under the new UAE Labour Law, all employment contracts in the UAE private sector are now fixed-term contracts.
What happens if a limited contract is terminated early?
Either party may terminate the contract with written notice (ranging from 30 to 90 days). If the employee completes at least 1 continuous year, they receive 100% of their earned gratuity plus compensation for accrued leave.
