Secondment Services in UAE

Yes. Foreign contractors, OEMs, and engineering firms frequently deploy technical specialists, project managers, and commissioning personnel to the UAE before or without establishing a local company. Plus UAE assists foreign companies by establishing the necessary legal work-permit, sponsorship, and payroll administration structures to deploy staff legally and compliantly.

Permit pathways are selected based on assignment duration, project location, and regulatory authority. Options include MoHRE Temporary Work Permits, Mission Visas (for short-term assignments typically up to 90–180 days), Standard Residency Employment Visas, and Free Zone Secondment / Temporary Work Permits. Plus UAE assesses your project specifics to determine the appropriate statutory permit model.

For employees registered under MoHRE jurisdiction, monthly salary disbursement must comply with the UAE Wages Protection System (WPS). Plus UAE administers monthly payroll processing, generates and submits statutory Salary Information Files (SIF) through authorized UAE financial institutions, and provides detailed corporate reconciliation statements and employee payslips.

Yes. Health insurance is a mandatory statutory requirement for all employees in the UAE. In Abu Dhabi, Department of Health (DOH) regulations require comprehensive medical coverage (including valid policy issuance prior to visa stamping). In Dubai, Dubai Health Authority (DHA) rules require employer-provided coverage meeting minimum benefit standards. Plus UAE manages medical insurance enrollment and annual renewal administration.

Statutory gratuity is calculated in strict accordance with UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 regarding the Regulation of Labour Relations. Plus UAE manages monthly accrual tracking, reserves accounting, and complete final settlement processing upon assignment completion or demobilization.

Mobilization timelines vary depending on whether candidates are inside the UAE or arriving from abroad, their nationality, attestation readiness, and site security clearances. Standard in-country work permits can take 5–10 business days, while foreign arrivals requiring entry visas, medical fitness testing, Emirates ID biometrics, and security clearances typically require 2–3 weeks.

Yes. For personnel deployed on critical infrastructure, oil & gas concessions, or offshore fields in Abu Dhabi, Plus UAE coordinates National Guard Permits Division (NGPD/CICPA) security passes, Letter of Assistance (LOA) registration, vessel/vehicle clearances, and site gate passes in full coordination with the contracting entity and end client.

Plus UAE provides centralized workforce administration. We track project timesheets, overtime calculations in compliance with UAE Labor Law, annual leave accruals, sick leave documentation, medical insurance claims coordination, and digital personnel record maintenance, relieving client HR teams of day-to-day administrative burdens.

Project extensions are managed seamlessly. Plus UAE tracks visa, work permit, and insurance expiration milestones well in advance. When an assignment is extended, we coordinate timely contract addenda, work permit renewals, and visa validity extensions to ensure continuous, uninterrupted site legality.

Upon project completion, Plus UAE executes formal demobilization procedures. This includes final timesheet reconciliation, statutory EOSB and leave settlement calculation, Ministry labor cancellation, residency visa cancellation, security pass surrender, and departure coordination or transfer to a subsequent assignment.

Plus UAE operates on a transparent, custom quotation model tailored to the scope of your workforce requirement. Factors include headcount, employee job classifications, salary tiers, project duration, work jurisdiction, and specialized site clearance requirements. We do not publish fixed commodity rates because each corporate assignment demands an individualized compliance and operational structure.
