It serves as both an employment agreement and a governance document, establishing the terms of service, scope of authority, and responsibilities of the Managing Director while ensuring compliance with UAE Federal Law No. 33 of 2021 and related regulations. This contract is typically implemented when appointing new Managing Directors, promoting internal candidates to the position, or updating terms for existing Managing Directors to comply with current legislation.
