Employer of Record (EOR) Services in the UAE

Using our EOR services in the UAE allows you to access the opportunities of the Emirati market within days while we take care of the paperwork for hiring your workforce compliantly.

Employer of Record (EOR)

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has a multinational population, with only 10% of around 10 million inhabitants being Emiratis. Expatriate workers explore a rapidly diversifying economy which has moved away from being labour-intensive and relying on vast amounts of oil and gas, which account for 10% and 20% of global reserves, respectively.

Hassle-Free Expansion

Renewable, hydrocarbons and green energy development, telecommunications, tourism and hospitality and advanced technologies have come to the fore. The Emirates has been ranked in the top 30 globally for business services to multinationals. The World Economic Forum ranked the UAE in the top 30 for ‘most networked’ nations, ahead of all other Arab countries, Italy, Turkey and India.

But each new market brings new challenges. These can be worked through efficiently and cost-effectively with the support of an international Professional Employer Organisation (PEO) such as Bradford Jacobs, primarily through our Employer of Record (EOR) framework.

This can be best utilised when businesses are just beginning their expansion process and require more information before incorporating an entity and fully establishing themselves in that market.

What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?

As an EOR we conclude an agreement with both you and the employee who will be working for your company. We become the legal employer of your new workforce and are responsible for taxes, labor laws, and other local regulations that might be unfamiliar to you now. Your company maintains control over the working relationship, work ethics, tasks, and daily responsibilities of your employee.

Our EOR services in the UAE offer our global entity network to companies considering expansion. We become your international employees’ Employer of Record, meaning that we take full responsibility for your employees’:

  • Labour contracts
  • Compliance with Emirati laws
  • Tax contributions (if applicable)
  • Payroll

As an Employer Of Record, we conclude an agreement with you and the employee who will be working for your company. We become the legal employer of your new workforce. Your company maintains control over your employees’ working relationships, work ethics, tasks, and daily responsibilities.

The most significant benefit of using our EOR services in the UAE is probably that there is then no necessity for you to set up an entity there. This process can take months, and during this period, it is unlikely that you will have legal resources to pay your employees in the Emirates, resulting in a considerable delay in your Global Expansion plans.

Global expansion is an exciting step that often leads to a growing and successful business, but the red tape in a new country can be demotivating and frustrating. Imagine a way to expand your business without red tape globally and at low costs: that is what working with an EOR can do for you. By letting us take care of the hard part, you can focus on the significant part: expanding your business into the UAE.

These are the aspects we can take away from you:

  • Registering with the tax and social security office.
  • Immerse yourself in Emirati laws, customs, and regulations.
  • Get familiar with Emirati labour benefits and other contract-related customs.
  • Approach potential employees and make them an offer.
  • Setting up the payroll system compliantly.
  • Submitting wage tax returns and national insurance forms.
  • Staying up-to-date and compliant with changes in Emirati regulations.
