What is Unlimited Contract (UAE)?

A UAE employment contract with no fixed end date that continues until either the employer or employee terminates it with proper notice, formerly the default contract type under the old UAE Labour Law before Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 replaced it with fixed-term contracts.

Why it matters in hiring

Unlimited 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.
