Employees working in the private sector can work for two companies, provided they have secured temporary work permits from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation.

The employee can obtain a temporary work permit whereby he/she can work for another company or establishment on an interim basis as per the law.

There are certain conditions that must be adhered to so as to give a nod to a company to use an employee - UAE citizen or expatriate resident - to take up another job for a period of time, which does not exceed six months.

The employer can also move the employee from a company to another that belongs to him in case both the companies are owned by the same sponsor. The employee will assume the same job and get the same pay and allowances.

The worker's work permit must be valid for more than six months, and the temporary work permit sought must not go above six months as well, or its period does not overstep the current work permit.

Period of Contract: Six months.
