The module also clarifies modern employment models full time, part time, temporary, flexible, remote, and freelance while clearly explaining the practical differences between mainland and free zone employment.
Module 2 – Contracts, Recruitment & Onboarding
Most labour disputes start before day one of employment and this module shows you why. You’ll learn what makes an employment contract legally valid in the UAE, how probation truly works, and how MoHRE registration links directly to visas and work permits.

By the end, participants understand how recruitment decisions, offer letters, contracts, and onboarding paperwork either protect the business or quietly expose it to serious legal risk.

The module also explains how new flexible work patterns are recognised under UAE law and what documentation employers must maintain.
Module 4 – Leave & Employee Rights
Leave management is one of the most common compliance failure points in UAE organisations. This module provides crystal clear understanding of all statutory leave types annual, sick, maternity, paternity, bereavement, study leave, and official holidays. More importantly, it exposes the real world mistakes employers make, improper approvals, weak documentation, and inconsistent application of policy. Participants learn how employee rights around leave are enforced and how small administrative errors often escalate into formal complaints.
Module 5 – Payroll, WPS, Benefits & Gratuity
Payroll mistakes don’t stay internal they trigger fines, inspections, and disputes. This module explains Wage Protection System (WPS) requirements, salary structuring, permissible deductions, payment timelines, and the legal consequences of delays or errors. End of service gratuity is broken down step by step under fixed term contracts, removing myths and assumptions.
Module 6 – Discipline, Termination & Disputes
Termination is not just an HR action it’s a legal event. This module explains disciplinary procedures, serious misconduct definitions, lawful versus arbitrary termination, and the fundamentals of redundancy under UAE law.

Day 2 – Hands On Legal Toolkit
Module 1 – Employment Contract Drafting
Participants individually draft a fully compliant fixed term employment contract using a MoHRE aligned template.

Just as importantly, they learn how to identify and fix non compliant clauses that frequently appear in copied or outdated contracts.
Module 2 – Offer, Onboarding & Policy Pack
This module connects legal compliance to everyday HR operations. Participants prepare a legally aligned offer letter and onboarding checklist that integrates visa and sponsorship steps seamlessly. They also build or refine core HR policies such as code of conduct, attendance and overtime, and leave policy ensuring alignment with UAE law.
Module 3 – Payroll, WPS & Gratuity Workshop
Participants work through a hands on payroll exercise using a WPS aligned salary structure, including overtime, allowances, and deductions. The module then moves into gratuity and final settlement calculations across multiple real life scenarios resignation, termination, short service, and long service. This practical exposure removes uncertainty and equips participants to handle payroll and exit calculations confidently and defensibly.
Module 4 – Leave & Working Time Scenarios
Participants draft simple SOPs for leave approvals and working time management that actually work in real organisations. They also solve mini case scenarios involving leave encashment, sick leave misuse, and public holiday pay. The focus is on consistency, documentation, and decision making so policies don’t collapse under pressure.
Module 5 – Discipline & Termination Files
Participants learn how to build a termination case that survives scrutiny. This module walks through preparing a complete disciplinary file, including investigation notes, warning letters, evidence logs, and final decision memos. Participants then draft lawful termination letters and full and final settlement statements for different scenarios, such as performance issues and redundancy.
Module 6 – Dispute Proof HR System & Final Capstone Project
The final module brings everything together. Participants design a mini HR legal framework that includes grievance handling, disciplinary flow, escalation matrix, and document retention controls. In the capstone group exercise, teams are given a complex multi risk case involving overtime, leave, termination, and a formal complaint. They identify legal breaches, fix contracts and policies, and prepare a MoHRE ready defence file.
