Practical, honest answers about how our HR advisory services work and what we can help with.

Home / FAQs

No. StepHire HR Consultants is an independent HR advisory and documentation consultancy. Work permits, visas and labour approvals are issued only by the relevant government authority, such as MOHRE or the relevant free-zone authority. We advise on documentation and compliance - we do not process government applications.

No consultancy can guarantee the outcome of a government application, inspection or dispute. We help make sure your HR records, contracts and policies are complete, accurate and clearly presented, but every decision rests with the relevant authority.

No. Our licensed activity is Human Resources Consultancies - advisory, frameworks and documentation. We do not source, recruit or place candidates, and we are not a recruitment or staffing agency.

No. We provide HR advisory aligned with UAE labour law, but we are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice or representation. Where a matter requires a licensed lawyer, we will tell you and you should engage one directly.

We advise employers operating under MOHRE (mainland UAE) as well as the major free zones, including DIFC and ADGM, each of which has its own employment rules. We help you understand which framework applies to your business.

Typically: the signed MOHRE-registered (or free-zone) employment contract, the offer letter, identification and permit copies, leave and attendance records, WPS payroll records, and any variation or disciplinary letters. See our full HR documentation checklist for more detail.

Mainland employers must pay salaries through WPS-approved channels, on time and matching the registered contract amounts. Gaps, delays or mismatches are among the first things a labour inspection checks. We review your payroll alignment as part of a compliance health check.

MOHRE-registered companies with 50 or more employees must meet annual Emiratisation targets for skilled roles, and some companies with 20-49 employees in specific sectors also have obligations. We can review your classification and help you build a compliant hiring plan.

Yes. We audit your current templates against Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 and its executive regulations (or the relevant free-zone rules), flag clauses that carry dispute risk, and propose compliant revisions.

No. Government and authority fees are set by the relevant authority and are separate from our service fee. You pay government fees directly to that authority.

Government and third-party fees are non-refundable once submitted to official authorities. However, if StepHire HR Consultants fails to deliver the agreed consultancy service after complete engagement, our StepHire Service Charge will be 100% refunded to you within 3 business days.
