Preparation Guide

HR documentation checklist

A general overview of what MOHRE inspectors and UAE labor regulations expect companies to maintain. Exact requirements vary by jurisdiction and company size - always confirm details against current official guidance.

Home / HR Document Checklist

Employment Contracts

MOHRE-registered fixed-term contracts for every employee, matching the signed offer letter and correctly reflecting job title, salary structure, and work model.

Offer Letters & NDAs

MOHRE-standard offer letters signed before work-permit application, plus confidentiality and non-compete agreements where the role requires them.

HR Policy Handbook

Documented policies for leave, attendance, disciplinary procedures, grievance handling, and code of conduct - formally acknowledged by all employees.

WPS Salary Records

Wage Protection System salary files matching contracted pay, with no unexplained delays, shortfalls, or payments outside the system.

Work Permits & ID Records

Valid MOHRE work permits, Emirates ID copies, and visa records for all staff, with a renewal calendar preventing any lapse.

Leave & Attendance Records

Accurate annual leave, sick leave, and overtime records with documented approvals - a standard inspection request.

Gratuity Accruals

End-of-service provisions calculated on basic salary with clean audit trails, plus documented final settlements for departed staff.

Emiratisation Records

For companies in scope: quota calculations, skilled-role classifications, and Nafis reporting documentation for each semi-annual cycle.

This is a general overview, not a guarantee of what any specific inspection requires.

Requirements differ by jurisdiction (Mainland, DIFC, ADGM, free zones), company size, and sector, and they can change without notice. See our service pages for more specific guidance, or start an HR health check so we can review your situation directly.
