I was in urgent need of the establishment card. Miss. Umara answered and helped me immediately in less than a minute. She is kind, fast, and wonderful, and I see her as the perfect example of the best customer service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens after I file a labour complaint?

MOHRE schedules a mediation session between you and your employer, typically within 14 days. If mediation fails, the case can be referred to the labour court.

Is there a fee for filing a labour complaint?

MOHRE does not charge a government fee for filing a labour complaint. Amer MBS service fees apply for typing and submission assistance.

Can I file a complaint if I have already left the country?

Yes. You can file a complaint within one year of the employment relationship ending. If you have left the UAE, you may need to appoint a legal representative.

What is MOHRE mediation?

MOHRE mediation is a free, mandatory step before court. A MOHRE mediator meets both parties to try to reach an agreement. Most disputes are resolved at this stage.

How long does the complaint process take?

MOHRE mediation is scheduled within 14 days of filing. If unresolved, the case is referred to the labour court, which typically takes 2–4 months depending on complexity.

Can my employer retaliate if I file a complaint?

UAE labour law protects employees from retaliation for filing legitimate complaints. If you face retaliation, this can be included as an additional complaint.
