To file a MOHRE labour complaint, gather proof of the employment relationship and the breach: your signed employment contract or MOHRE-registered offer letter, Emirates ID, passport copy, and work permit or labour card number. Add bank statements, Wage Protection System (WPS) records, payslips, appointment and termination or resignation letters, and written communication showing the dispute. For end-of-service claims, your start and end dates and last basic salary matter. Organise documents chronologically — strong evidence at the amicable stage helps if the case is later referred to the labour court. Confirm exact requirements through MOHRE's official channels.
