Hi

Dear Customer,
Thanks for joining and trusting us, much appreciated!
We would like to inform that It should be noted that after reviewing your inquiry and legal scrutiny we would like to provide you that referring to the UAE Labor Law and its legal provisions:
Article 38
An employment contract may be for a definite or indefinite term. A definite term contract shall not exceed four years; however, it may be renewed by mutual agreement for an equal or a shorter term(s). Where a contract is renewed, the renewal shall be deemed as an extension of the original term and shall be added thereto when calculating the worker's total period of service.
Article 39
An employment contract shall, from its inception, be considered as an indefinite term contract if and only if it:
1. Is not written.
2. Is concluded for an unspecified period.
3. Was originally written and concluded for a definite term but both parties, without a written agreement between them, continued to perform it after its expiry; or
4. Was originally concluded for the execution of a specific work that had no specific duration or that is recurrent by nature, but the contract continued after completion of that specific work.
Article (40):
If the two parties continue the execution of the contract after the expiration of its original period of the expiration of the job as agreed upon without explicit announcement, the original contract shall deemed to be extended implicitly with the same conditions except for the duration term.
