Provisions of Domestic Workers Recruitment and Employment Contract A study of the UAE Federal Law No. 10 of 2017 and its Executive Regulations No. 22 of 2019

Workers’ status in communities changes as time changes. Previously, workers were treated as slaves and were considered as buy-and-sell possessions and products. They were also banned from their rights and beaten for the slightest violation of the employer’s commands. However, in the present, slavery has stopped, and the worker-employer relationship has evolved to include legislative labor rightsand labor protection. However, the worker-employer relationship has evolved because of law developments and worker protection organizations. The worker, ever since, has been treated more humanely and respectfully. Therefore, the UAE has always been proactive in this field, for it respects the legal and constitutional rights of migrant workers. Such rights include; not allowing recruiting workers in a Corvée (for free) or laborious work, and other guaranteesincluded in the UAE Civil Transactions Law, and later on- for workers, employers, and even recruitment agencies- in the federal law No. 10 of 2017 on domestic workers and its executive regulation No.22 of 2019. Therefore, and in light of the previous law, we find it essential to study the recruitment agencies and their nature.
