Tawjeeh
توجيه
Tawjeeh centres are MOHRE-authorised guidance and awareness centres where UAE private-sector workers complete mandatory orientation steps tied to their employment paperwork. Their signature function is contract verification: for designated categories of workers, the employment contract and its key terms are explained to the employee — in a language they understand — and the employee's informed acknowledgment is recorded before the contract proceeds, a safeguard against contract substitution and against signing terms the worker never understood. Tawjeeh services also cover labour-law awareness sessions, certain work-permit and contract transactions, and domestic-worker procedures under the Tadbeer framework where applicable. The legal payoff appears in disputes: a Tawjeeh acknowledgment record undercuts later claims that the worker did not know the salary, role, or contract type, while its absence in a mandatory case is a procedural defect employers must answer for. For employers and PROs, Tawjeeh attendance is a compliance step to schedule into every onboarding pipeline for covered categories.

مراكز «توجيه» هي مراكز التوعية والإرشاد المعتمدة من وزارة الموارد البشرية والتوطين، يستكمل فيها عمال القطاع الخاص خطوات إلزامية مرتبطة بمعاملات توظيفهم. ووظيفتها الأبرز توثيق العقود: فلفئات محددة من العمال يُشرح عقد العمل وبنوده الأساسية للعامل بلغة يفهمها، ويُسجل إقراره المستنير قبل المضي في العقد، ضماناً ضد استبدال العقود وتوقيع شروط لم يفهمها العامل. وتشمل خدماتها أيضاً جلسات التوعية بقانون العمل وبعض معاملات تصاريح العمل والعقود وإجراءات العمالة المساعدة ضمن منظومة «تدبير» عند انطباقها. وتظهر الثمرة القانونية في النزاعات: فسجل الإقرار لدى توجيه يضعف ادعاء العامل لاحقاً بجهله بالراتب أو المسمى أو نوع العقد، بينما يُعد غيابه في الحالات الإلزامية عيباً إجرائياً يُسأل عنه صاحب العمل.
