In the United Arab Emirates, the issue of transparency in employment relations is becoming increasingly important. Given the growing number of foreign workers and the country’s ambitions to create an advanced digital infrastructure, the government is introducing convenient online tools that allow each employee to check the terms of their employment in real time. The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization (MoHRE) has made it as simple as possible to access the approved contract, without the need to visit the office or submit written requests, Khaleej Times has reported.
Timely verification of the employment contract ensures compliance with the terms agreed upon at the stage of signing the employment offer. This allows you to avoid misunderstandings, respond in a timely manner to changes in working conditions, and be confident in the correctness of accruals, the provision of allowances, days off and payments after the contract ends. With the growing role of workers’ rights in the UAE, such digital accessibility of contracts is an important tool for protecting labor interests.
Step-by-step access via the MoHRE website
The MoHRE interactive website allows any employee to quickly view the approved version of their employment contract using their personal details or transaction number. The entire process takes a few minutes and does not require technical training. To access the employment contract via the official MoHRE website, you need to perform the following steps:
- Go to mohre.gov.ae and click on the “Services” section in the top menu.
- In the list of services, find the “View Approved Contract” item.
- Choose how you want to find the contract: by Emirates ID number or by transaction number.
- If you selected the search by personal details, click “Search by personal details”, then “Request OTP” to receive a confirmation code on your mobile.
- Enter the OTP and go to the “My Contract” section, where up-to-date information about your employment conditions will be displayed.
This mechanism not only eliminates bureaucratic barriers, but also increases the level of trust between the employee and the employer, as the official terms of the contract are always available for verification.
Mobile application and hotline
For those who prefer mobile technologies, the MoHRE application provides quick access to the contract anywhere, even without a stationary computer. The platform supports login via UAE Pass, which adds security and convenience. The algorithm for viewing the contract in the MoHRE application is as follows:
- Log in to the application using UAE Pass or your own credentials.
- Go to the “Services” section, then click on “Employees”.
- Select “My Contract”.
- Enter basic personal data – passport number, nationality and date of birth.
- After submitting the data, the application will automatically redirect you to the page with your current contract.
If you have difficulties with online services or need advice, MoHRE also offers a traditional option – a call to the hotline 600 590000. There, after providing an Emirates ID and a short identification, the operator will provide all the necessary details about your contract over the phone. This is especially useful for those who do not have access to the Internet or are experiencing technical difficulties. The integration of online access to employment contracts is not only a step towards digital convenience, but also a powerful signal to international investors and professionals about the seriousness of the UAE’s intentions to raise labor law standards. Thanks to a clear digital architecture and an efficient government service, workers can monitor compliance with their rights in real time. All this creates a more predictable, stable and fair environment for doing business and attracting talent from around the world.
