Build Your HR Foundation From Day One

Most labor disputes and MOHRE penalties trace back to missing or weak HR documentation in a company's first year. StepHire Consultants sets up your entire HR framework before your first hire signs.

Whether you are a founder hiring your first employee, an SME formalizing a growing team, or a multinational opening a UAE entity, we align your HR documentation with your license type, jurisdiction, and headcount plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

At minimum: a MOHRE-standard offer letter, a fixed-term employment contract template, basic leave and attendance rules, and a salary structure ready for WPS registration. We prepare this full pack before your first employee signs.

Current quotas apply to mainland companies with 50 or more employees, with smaller companies in selected sectors also in scope. We track your headcount trajectory and prepare your Emiratisation plan before obligations begin.

It depends on the zone. DIFC and ADGM apply their own employment laws and contract formats; most other free zones follow the federal labor law with zone-level variations. We confirm the correct framework for your specific license.
