What is Limited Contract (UAE)?

A fixed-term employment contract under UAE labor law (now the only permissible contract type under Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021) that specifies a start date, end date, and maximum duration of 3 years, renewable by mutual agreement.

Why it matters in hiring

Limited Contract (UAE) comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
