Labour Dispute Resolution: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how to access mediation services to resolve workplace conflicts in the United Arab Emirates without going to court.

This scheme provides a way for people involved in workplace disagreements to settle their issues through mediation.

Who it's for

This service is available to both employees and employers who are currently involved in a labor dispute.

What you get

You receive mediation services designed to help both parties reach an agreement. This process aims to resolve workplace conflicts through discussion rather than moving straight to a legal trial.

What it costs you

The service is free of charge. To access it, you will need to spend some time filing your complaint through the official mobile app or the government portal.

The catch to know

You cannot skip directly to a court case for most employment disagreements. Most disputes must go through this mediation process first before they can be moved to the courts.

How to apply

  1. Download the official government mobile app or visit the official web portal.
  2. File your complaint through the digital platform.
  3. Follow the instructions provided to complete the filing process.
