Managing employee schedules in line with UAE labour law is one of the most important aspects of compliance for companies. Whether you are an employer who needs clarity on working hours in UAE regulations, or an employee who wants to understand rights related to overtime, rest days, or special periods such as Ramadan, our legal team provides comprehensive guidance. With the right advice, you can ensure compliance, avoid penalties, and create fair workplace practices. 

 

Understanding Working Hours in UAE

The UAE labour law working hours framework regulates daily and weekly schedules, including breaks and rest periods. Many employers ask: is lunch break included in working hours in UAE? The law distinguishes between actual work time and rest, and compliance requires a correct interpretation of these rules. Our lawyers explain the standard daily working hours in UAE, adjustments for special categories, and how working hours after maternity leave in UAE are applied in practice. 

 

Overtime and Holiday Work Regulations 

Overtime is a common area of dispute, making clear advice essential. We assist employers and employees with overtime calculation in UAE as per labour law, including rates for night shifts, holiday work, and emergency overtime. Our legal team also advises on the correct application of UAE labor law overtime holiday work provisions, ensuring staff are compensated fairly and employers remain compliant with UAE overtime law. 

 

Ramadan and Summer Working Hours 

Special working hour adjustments apply during specific periods.

Flexible Working Arrangements in Dubai
