Employer of Record UAE makes us the legal employer of your team in the Emirates. Visa sponsorship, MOHRE contracts, WPS payroll and end-of-service gratuity, all handled, so you can hire expat talent in Dubai and across the UAE in days.
Setting up a mainland LLC or free-zone entity takes weeks of paperwork, capital and ongoing administration. An Employer of Record lets you put a person on the ground first, then decide on an entity later, if ever.
We already hold a UAE trade licence and visa quota. Your hire can be sponsored, insured and on WPS payroll in 10 to 15 business days, instead of the one to three months an entity setup usually takes.
Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 governs every UAE contract: fixed terms, probation rules, gratuity, notice periods and WPS salary payment. We carry that responsibility as the legal employer.
No share capital, no office lease, no PRO to manage. Pay one predictable monthly fee per employee and scale the team up or down as your UAE plans evolve.
You choose the person and direct their work. We take care of the legal employment relationship in the UAE from end to end.

Sponsored under MOHRE, mainland employees can work across all seven emirates. This is the route we use by default because it gives your team full mobility and is the EOR norm.
DIFC and ADGM run their own employment laws and savings-based end-of-service schemes. We can structure here when you specifically need financial-centre contracts.
