MOHRE services for Dubai companies
The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) regulates labour relations for UAE mainland private sector employers — overseeing work permit applications, standard employment contracts, wage protection system (WPS) salary transfers, and labour establishment registration.
Before GDRFA can issue employment visas for mainland employees, MOHRE must approve work permits and registered labour contracts aligned with UAE labour law minimum standards.
KPM Global Services manages MOHRE establishment setup, bulk work permit processing, contract typing, WPS registration, and labour dispute prevention through compliant documentation.
