Employment in the UAE
One of our solutions for contractors in the UAE is to operate through our umbrella company. We handle all billing, payroll and withholding deductions (e.g. income tax/social security) and payments on your behalf. You’ll receive full administrative support from our umbrella company while remaining responsible for your client work and deliverables.
EOR in the UAE
As an Employer of Record (EOR) service provider, we will be your legal employer in the UAE, while you perform services on behalf of the end client. This is typically necessary when the client does not have a legally registered entity in the country, or even if they do, they may prefer not to manage payroll or navigate local employment laws.
We will efficiently handle your onboarding, record maintenance, all legal employer obligations (payroll processing, income tax/social security deductions/payments, commissions, health insurance, and other benefits) on behalf of your client.
