The new UAE labour law allows residents to take up part-time work in addition to their main jobs. What’s more, they can take up the second job without the primary employer’s approval. All they need is a temporary work permit from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation.

The ministry shared this information in a tweet on Wednesday.

The new labour law will go into effect from February 2, 2022. As per the law, employees in the private sector can have part-time, temporary and flexible work contracts.
