      <p>Under the UAE gratuity Labour Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021), the standard working week is set at 8 hours per day or 48 hours per week, although in certain sectors such as hotels, trade, and security services, employers may increase daily working hours to 9 with approval from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE). Employees are entitled to at least one paid rest day each week, typically Friday, though employers may designate another day depending on business needs.</p>

      <p>Thanks for the clear summary. The new labour law really changed a few things not just in working hours but also in how end-of-service benefits are calculated. For anyone dealing with contracts, it’s useful to double-check payouts through a new uae labour law gratuity calculation tool, since service years and contract type now affect the final amount.</p>

      <p>Under UAE Labour Law, the standard working week is generally 48 hours, divided into 8 hours per day over six days. Some organizations may follow a five-day schedule with extended daily hours. For those interested in checking public records or related legal data, you can explore Statewide arrest lookup for broader access to official arrest and custody information across different states.</p>
