The amendments made in Article 54 of the labor law have brought about a significant expansion in the jurisdiction of the MOHRE. Where in the event that the labor dispute amounting to AED 50,000, has not been resolved. The MOHRE is vested with the legal authority to singularly address the claim and issue a decisive verdict.

This development marks a significant change, empowering the MOHRE with quasi-judicial powers, thereby fortifying its position and broadening its jurisdiction;in a manner unprecedented in the realm of UAE Labor Law. What sets this apart is not only the newfound authority but also the enforceable credibility attached to the MOHRE’s decisions. Should the 15-day appeal period elapse without contestation, the MOHRE’s decision holds the unique capability to be considered as a final decision and directly enforced before the Court Executioner Department, further solidifying the MOHRE’s role in the expeditious and effective resolution of labor disputes. This transformation marks a significant change, strengthening the MOHRE’s position as a pivotal entity in considering labor disputes.

A noteworthy advantage of these amended provisions lies in the timelines set for cases within the MOHRE. The time to issue an appeal for a judgment since the MOHRE judgment is only 15 working days. Subsequently, the appellate body has a short period of 3 working days to consider the matter once an appeal has been registered and reach the decision regarding the considered appeal within 15 working days. As a result, from the moment a judgment is issued by the labor court, a swift timeline of 33 working days is established for the completion of the entire appeal process, culminating in a decision ready for immediate execution. This streamlined process underscores the efficiency and responsiveness embedded in the revised articles, ensuring a swift and decisive outcome in labor-related disputes.
