The Telework Agreement has become increasingly essential in the UAE business landscape, particularly following the implementation of Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 and subsequent MOHRE regulations that formally recognize remote work arrangements. This document is typically used when an organization wishes to establish or formalize remote working arrangements with employees, whether on a full-time remote basis or in a hybrid capacity. The agreement ensures compliance with UAE labor laws while addressing practical aspects of remote work such as equipment provision, data security, working hours, and performance monitoring. It provides legal protection for both parties and clearly defines expectations, responsibilities, and operational procedures for remote work arrangements. The document is particularly relevant in the post-pandemic business environment where remote work has become a standard practice across many sectors in the UAE.
