What You Can Report Using the Toll-Free Number

The MoHRE Labour Claims and Advisory call centre handles three types of contact for both employees and employers:

• New complaint — unpaid salary, arbitrary dismissal, contract violations, or any labour violation under Federal Decree-Law No. 33/2021
• Complaint follow-up — checking the status or progression of a previously filed case
• Legal consultation — asking about rights and obligations under UAE Labour Law without filing a formal complaint

The 800 84 helpline is not available on Sundays. Outside helpline hours, use the MoHRE WhatsApp at 600590000, which operates around the clock.

The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) Labour Claims and Advisory call centre supports 20 languages, including Arabic, English, Urdu, Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Tagalog, and Nepali.

Dubai Labour Court Number and In-Person Centres

There is no separate Dubai labour court phone number for filing initial complaints. All labour disputes in the UAE must first be submitted to MoHRE before any case can proceed to the courts — MoHRE mediation is a mandatory first step under UAE labour law.

For in-person visits, MoHRE operates Customer Happiness Centres in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Centres are closed on Saturday and Sunday.

Pro Tip: Before calling 800 84, have your Emirates ID number and your employer’s trade licence number ready. MoHRE cannot register a complaint without verifying the employment relationship, and missing either number will require a callback.
