After filing a labour complaint with MOHRE, you can usually follow its progress through the same official channels you used to submit it. The MOHRE smart app and website provide services to track requests and complaints once you log in or enter your reference details, and the MOHRE call centre can give updates on your file. When you file, note your complaint or transaction reference number, your work permit details, and the contact information you registered, as you will likely need these to retrieve the status. Through these channels you can typically see whether your case is still at the amicable-settlement stage, has been scheduled for a session, or has been referred to the court. Responding promptly to any contact from MOHRE keeps your case moving and avoids unnecessary delay. If your matter has been referred to the labour court, you would then follow up through the relevant emirate's court services for hearing dates and updates. Because the exact online steps can change, check the current options on the official MOHRE portal. If you need help interpreting where your case stands, verified UAE legal professionals are available on LEXAI.
