How do I file a labour complaint with MOHRE in the UAE step by step?

UAE mainland labour disputes start with MOHRE, not the court. Register a complaint through the MOHRE smart app, website, call centre, or a Tas-heel/typing centre, giving your personal and employer details, work permit or labour card number, and a summary of the dispute. MOHRE opens an amicable-settlement file and assigns a legal advisor who contacts both sides; a settlement reached is documented and binding. If no agreement is reached within the period MOHRE sets, the case is referred to the labour court with an official referral memo. Keep your contract, Emirates ID, salary records, and messages.
