Labor Laws
Every country has a unique set of labor laws. These procedures control the workplace by safeguarding the interests of both employers and employees. On the one hand, labor laws seek to increase worker productivity by ensuring that businesses adhere to the requirements for a living wage and safe working conditions. Additionally, employers are shielded from employee misconduct. They are forbidden from engaging in actions that could violate the conditions of the job contract, emphasis added. Additionally, laws vary from nation to nation.
Before the start of the job, an employment contract must be in writing, according to Article 35 of UAE labor legislation. Because it provides information on the start and end dates of the job related and the number of wages, so it serves as proof. Despite the many contracts, the law mandates neither party to end the agreement without first providing the other party notice. In the UK, the situation is the same: the terms and conditions outlined in the employment contract serve as the foundation for the working relationship.
According to Article 74, every employee in the United Arab Emirates is entitled to paid time off on holidays such as Higra, Gregorian, the Birthday of Prophet Mohammed, and National Day. Additionally, all employees have the right to a 30-day yearly leave that is entirely refundable under Article 75. An employer must pay an employee’s entire salary before they take a yearly vacation. However, Article 88 forbids any employee from working while on leave for another employee. If the employee violates this clause, the employer may dismiss him or her immediately and withhold his or her right to leave allowances. Employees in the UK are also entitled to at least five weeks of fully refundable annual leave.
In the UAE, Article 25 limits children’s daily employment hours to a maximum of six. To ensure no youngster works for four straight hours, the working hours should be interrupted by breaks. No youngster is permitted to labor continuously for more than seven hours. Additionally, under no circumstances may minor be made to additional labor hours or on a day off. According to Article 23, no youngster shall work in an industrial establishment between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. In this regard, it is forbidden for any youngster to work in a dangerous workplace as determined by the Ministry of Labor under the rules of Article 24.
