The Employment Agreement For Sponsors And Domestic Workers is a mandatory legal document required under UAE law for all domestic worker employment relationships. This agreement, governed by Federal Law No. 10 of 2017 and related regulations, must be registered with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) through authorized channels such as Tadbeer centers. It is specifically designed to protect the rights and outline the obligations of both sponsors and domestic workers in the UAE, covering essential elements such as wages, working hours, accommodation, and other employment terms. The agreement is crucial for both UAE nationals and resident expatriates who wish to legally employ domestic workers, ensuring compliance with local laws while providing a clear framework for the employment relationship. It must be used whenever a sponsor wishes to employ a domestic worker, whether newly recruited from abroad or transferring from another sponsor within the UAE.
