What is a limited employment contract?

Under the UAE Labour Law

• The duration of a limited contract may not exceed two years (unlike four years as before)
• The contract may be renewed by mutual agreement of the employer and employee
• Should the contract be renewed, the new term shall be deemed an extension of the original term and shall be added to the calculation of the total service period of the employee.
• Where the contract is not renewed it automatically cancels when it expires.
