Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work

The Abu Dhabi Labour Court in the United Arab Emirates recovered Dh7.8 million (about $2.1 million USD) for 948 workers over three months.

The court resolved three collective cases by working with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) and other involved parties. This effort protected workers’ financial rights and maintained their job security. The court fully paid the dues of 457 workers and partially paid another 491, establishing installment plans for the remaining amounts.

The process allowed workers to remain employed with their companies, supporting both the stability of the labor relationship and continued economic activity. The Abu Dhabi Labour Court prioritizes quick dispute resolution and upholding workers’ rights according to UAE law. Through its partnership with MOHRE, the court aims to create a stable and sustainable work environment.
