This workshop will provide a practical overview of the UAE employment law, focusing on how rules differ between mainland (onshore) jurisdictions and free zones like DIFC and ADGM. It highlights key differences in employee rights, employer obligations, and dispute resolution mechanisms. The session also examines how force majeure and related doctrines under UAE employment law affect contractual and statutory obligations particularly during unexpected events. A major focus is on how employers should respond during disruptions—covering issues like salary reductions, mandatory leave, termination, remote work, outsourcing, and bonuses—while staying compliant with the law.
