Any case involving Dh50,000 or less will now be directly resolved by Mohre and does not require to be referred to the court
Disputes between domestic workers and their employers can be resolved faster under new regulations introduced by the Ministry Human Resources and Emiratisation (Mohre). The new law announced last week also “creates a fair and equitable relationship between the two parties,” a domestic workers and migrant rights advocate told Khaleej Times.
Any case involving Dh50,000 or less will now be directly resolved by Mohre and does not require to be referred to the court. If, however, an amicable settlement is not reached within a designated timeframe, Mohre will refer the dispute to the Court of First Instance — instead of the Court of Appeals — as a last resort.
Moreover, any party to the dispute may file — within 15 working days of being notified — a lawsuit with the Court of First Instance to contest the ministry’s decision. Filing a lawsuit will suspend the enforcement of the Ministry’s decision.
