Toggle1. What Problems Can MOHRE Help With?

2. How to File a MOHRE Complaint (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Try Solving It with Your Employer First
- Politely ask for what you’re owed (in WhatsApp or email).
- If they refuse, move to Step 2.
Step 2: Call MOHRE (Free Hotline)
📞 Dial 600 590 000 (UAE toll-free)
- Explain your problem in English, Arabic, or Hindi.
- They will tell you what documents to prepare.
Step 3: Submit Complaint Online or In-Person
Option 1: Online (Easiest)
- Go to MOHRE’s website
- Click “Services” → “Labor Complaints”
- Fill the form and upload documents
Option 2: Visit a MOHRE Office
📍 Locations: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah
📌 Bring: Passport, contract, proof of complaint (messages, bank statements)
Step 4: Wait for MOHRE’s Decision
- MOHRE will call you and your employer for a solution.
- If the employer refuses, MOHRE may take legal action.
3. Why You Might Need a Lawyer (Even with MOHRE)
Sometimes, MOHRE complaints get stuck. A lawyer helps by:
✔ Filing the complaint correctly (many get rejected for small mistakes)
✔ Pushing for faster results (follow-ups with MOHRE)
✔ Taking the case to court if needed
Example: Raj filed a MOHRE complaint alone and waited 3 months with no answer. A lawyer got his unpaid salary in just 6 weeks.

Don’t worry! You still have options:

- Screenshots of messages
- Bank statements (if salary was paid before)
- Emails or letters from employer
