End of Kafala System: A New Era for UAE’s Labour Market

The UAE has officially ended the requirement for migrant workers to obtain their employers’ approval to change jobs, becoming the first country in the region to adopt a non-discriminatory minimum wage. This historic move signals the dismantling of the “kafala” sponsorship system, offering greater freedom and protection to workers while giving employers more choice in hiring talent.
Key Changes Under the New Labour Law
- Migrant workers can now change jobs without employer consent before the end of their contract.
- Minimum wage set at 1,000 UAE riyals, effective six months after publication in the Official Gazette.
- Employers must provide food and housing or pay allowances of QAR 300 and QAR 500, respectively.
- New rules apply to all workers, regardless of nationality or sector, including domestic workers.
- Workers must provide one month’s notice if employed for two years or less, and two months’ notice if employed for more than two years.
A Major Step Towards Economic Growth & Workforce Modernization
These reforms align with the UAE’s ‘National Vision 2030’, aiming to create a more skilled and productive workforce while supporting economic recovery post-COVID. The International Labour Organization (ILO) has welcomed these changes, stating that they enhance worker rights and increase employer flexibility.
