What is considered a labour contract amendment in the UAE?

A labour contract amendment is the official change of an employment contract in the UAE, recorded in MOHRE's system. It includes updates such as job title, occupation, salary, or employee personal details, and must comply with UAE labour laws and the company's licensed activities. EGSH, as a MOHRE-authorised Tasheel centre, reviews the request and supporting documents to ensure full compliance before submitting the amendment for approval.

Who can submit an employment contract update in Dubai?

Only the authorised signatory of a company with a valid trade licence and no active violations can submit an employment contract update through MOHRE's official channels. EGSH verifies the company's eligibility, checks all supporting documents, and ensures the application meets MOHRE requirements before submission.

How long does the labour contract modification process take in Dubai?

If all documents meet MOHRE requirements, a labour contract modification is processed and approved electronically within two working days. EGSH ensures all submissions are complete and compliant, reducing the risk of delays.

Do I need to update my labour card information with MOHRE after a contract modification?

Any approved labour contract modification that changes details such as occupation, salary, or employee information must be reflected in the labour card records held by MOHRE. EGSH ensures that all related updates are accurately processed to maintain full compliance.

What are the official MOHRE fees for the contract modification?

The federal fee for a labour contract modification is AED 50, and the business centre commission is capped at AED 72. Taxes and collection charges are not included in these amounts. EGSH advisors will provide a complete cost breakdown before applying.

Are academic certificates required to modify a labour contract when changing a profession in the UAE?

When a profession change is requested, MOHRE requires academic certificates based on the employee's skill level. For example, skill levels 1 and 2 require a bachelor's degree or higher, levels 3 and 4 require a diploma or higher, and level 5 requires a high school certificate. No certificates are needed for skill levels 6 to 9. EGSH verifies the validity and compliance of all certificates before submission.

Can changes be made to the UAE work contract after it expires?

MOHRE does not process amendments to an expired work contract. In such cases, the agreement must be renewed first, and any required changes can then be submitted as a modification request. EGSH assists in coordinating both the renewal and subsequent amendments to ensure compliance with all MOHRE regulations.

What Is a Labour Contract Modification in the UAE?

Amend Employment Contracts in Line with MOHRE Requirements

A labour contract modification in the UAE is a Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) procedure that updates the official terms of an existing employment contract. Amendments can include changes to job title, salary, occupation, or other employee details recorded in MOHRE's system. All modifications must comply with UAE labour legislation and be consistent with the company's licensed activities.

This requirement applies to all private establishments employing non-UAE nationals and must be submitted by the establishment's authorised signatory.

EGSH, as a government-authorised centre, manages the whole modification process — from verifying eligibility and supporting documents to submitting the application and securing MOHRE's electronic approval — ensuring accuracy, legal conformity, and timely completion.

Hello, My Name is Kelvin it was my first time to hear EGSH Emirates Govt from my sponsor. I was assisted By Mrs Maria Claudia Garcia the experience was amazing from the beginning to the End she has been supporting and guiding me through all the process. I am grateful to her and the entire team for the help. I trust and believe EGSH is a place to recommend to family members and friends.

A very hassle free experience from EGSH. Special mention of Ms.Zara who was most helpfull. Her quick response to queries and swift action are much appeciated.

We had the pleasure of being assisted by the lovely Ms Maria and Ms Randa. They were clear concise and super professional throughout our whole process of renewing our Ejari and business licence. Maria provided continued support while we were waiting for our business Ejari to come through and made it a simple seamless process. I can’t thank these lovely ladies enough. We saved so much money going direct and it was refreshing knowing we are not over paying going through a PRO or typing service company that add so many fees. I saved over 6000aed just for reference. Thank you to EGSH staff. Especially Maria & Randa 🙏

EGSH in art of living is the best Hub center for every thing that you want in dubai Specially Ms.ZARA MOSHIRI is the advisor and assistance and she is beside you in every step Thank you Ms.ZARA MOSHIRI and EGSH

I recently visited this institution had an exceptional experience! Ms. Maria Claudia took the time to understand my needs and preferences. I really appreciate her support and services.

Good morning, I needed to apply for the Golden Visa and went to this EGSH Emirates office. I was very impressed by their facilities and the peaceful atmosphere. We were fortunate to be assisted by María Claudia García, who provided exceptional service. She advised and helped us every step of the way, guiding us through the entire process until we obtained the Golden Visa. Honestly, people with this level of professionalism and personal touch make one feel more at ease and integrated into this country. Thank you!

I would like to express my appreciation to Ray from EGSH for his outstanding assistance in handling the transfer of our property at Rove Hotel. He was very helpful, accommodating, and patient throughout the entire process, from addressing transaction concerns and verifying documents to the actual property transfer and ensuring the new owner received the title deed…

I worked with Amir and Zara, they took care of everything, I only had to send the mandatory information. In a very short time, everything was completed. I was amazed, considering how difficult it had seemed before. Not to mention, the fees were the same or even lower than those of the other companies I mentioned. For me, it was a 10/10 experience, the quickest and smoothest process someone could have in this journey. Strongly recommend them.

Zara assisted me with my Ejari registration, and she was absolutely amazing. She demonstrated exceptional professionalism, efficiency, and delivered everything promptly. Truly a pleasure to work with!

THE BEST!!! Zara you are as always star

Thanks to EGSH and to Zara for Excellent service — professional, attentive, and truly pleasant experience. Highly recommended!

Personally, I find this the best centre in Dubai. They always go the extra mile. Especially Maria Garcia has help out so much in such an efficient way! Thank you!

Went there for ejari cancellation. Excellent place. Staff was so cooperative. Ms Maria and Ms Fatima assist me and it was a fast process.

This is probably the best government service hub in Dubai. You come in, asked to be seated, and the staff will come to you instead of standing on the reception and on queue. They will offer you tea and water are available at each table. Really embodies the Emirati hospitality and what seamstresses Dubai is known for.

I was here the morning of this post. The concierge like service with a contact person arranging for you all the difeerent interactions is making the interactuon as smooth as possible. A truly delightful experience and a true commitment to service excellence, thank you for the great experience and for the initiative to present government interactions in this way!

Outstanding service — fast, friendly, and highly professional. Thank you very much!

I’ve been here for the first time and I can say that this organization definitely worth to come here and make all proceeds with their help! We were changing the owner and such difficult process was really easy for us with your help and most of the time it was done online. So I’m very grateful to Mrs Zara and her support during all the process❤️

I had an excellent experience with Natalia Baiamonte from EGSH while getting Ejari certificate. From the very beginning, she was professional, attentive, and extremely helpful. Natalia guided me through the process clearly, answered all my questions with patience, and made task feel simple and stress-free. Highly recommend Natalia for her outstanding customer service and dedication!

The office is very clean, modern, and welcoming, and the staff are extremely professional and polite.
