In a move designed to strengthen healthcare in the UAE, authorities have made it easier for medical teachers to work in healthcare sector, without compromising on safety or standards. The licensing requirements for some health graduates have also been eased.

So, what’s changing?

Doctors and professors who teach in universities can now practise in the healthcare sector more easily, bringing their knowledge directly into real-world patient care. This means students learn from professionals who are actively working in the field, not just teaching from textbooks.

Officials say this is a win-win. Patients benefit from high-level expertise, while students gain hands-on learning and exposure to real cases.

The update is part of a bigger plan to modernise the system and make it more flexible, while still keeping strict rules in place to ensure quality and patient safety.

What UAE’s new remote work rules really mean for employees

Published

Spread the love


The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) has released a detailed guide explaining how remote and hybrid work is regulated in the UAE’s private sector, and the key takeaway is simple: working from home doesn’t mean relaxed rules. Here’s a lowdown on what the rules are:

Are remote workers treated differently?
Not really. Employees working remotely are entitled to the same salary, working hours, leave, and legal protections as office-based staff. The only thing that changes is where the work gets done.

What are employers required to do?
Companies must:

  • Provide clear contracts covering salary, role, and working hours
  • Ensure legal work limits (8 hours/day, 48 hours/week)
  • Grant all leave benefits (annual, sick, maternity, etc.)
  • Provide necessary devices and tools
  • Pay dues on time and avoid charging recruitment fees
  • Monitor performance responsibly

What’s expected from employees?
Remote workers must:

  • Complete tasks themselves (no outsourcing)
  • Stick to agreed working hours
  • Respond promptly and attend virtual meetings
  • Protect company data and use tools properly
  • Deliver work on time and maintain quality

What about working hours and overtime?

  • Standard: 8 hours/day or 48 hours/week
  • Extra hours = paid overtime
  • At least one weekly day off is mandatory

How does leave work?

  • Annual leave: 30 days after 1 year
  • Sick leave:
    • 15 days full pay
    • 30 days half pay
    • 45 days unpaid
  • Maternity leave: 60 days (45 full + 15 half pay)
  • Additional: parental, bereavement, study, and national service leave

Can employers monitor remote workers?
Yes, but monitoring must be reasonable and respect privacy.

What counts as misconduct?

  • Ignoring work during official hours
  • Missing deadlines repeatedly
  • Doing personal tasks during work time
  • Delegating tasks without approval
  • Logging in without actually working

Serious violations can lead to disciplinary action or termination.

How is performance measured?
Not by being “online” but by output and quality of work.

Why this matters
Remote work offers flexibility in location, not in responsibility. The rules make it clear: professional expectations remain just as strict as in the office.

Work-from-home in the UAE is structured, regulated, and performance-driven, same rules, different setting.
