What this actually does

A pattern scan, not a lawyer

This tool searches your contract's text for known Labour Law thresholds — probation length, notice period, non-compete duration, gratuity and governing-law clauses — and flags anything outside the legal range or unclear. It cannot read scanned images, understand unusual legal phrasing, or catch every possible issue. Treat every flag as a starting question, not a verdict — for anything red, verify with the Labour Law Q&A or a licensed employment lawyer before acting.

Six things it checks

The clauses that most often go wrong

Contract type

Flags "unlimited"/"indefinite" language — only fixed-term contracts have been valid since 2022.

Probation length

Legal maximum is 6 months, once. Anything longer gets flagged.

Notice period

Must be 30–90 days. Outside that range is a red flag.

Non-compete duration

Max 2 years — longer restrictions are generally unenforceable.

Gratuity clause

Checks your end-of-service benefit is referenced at all.

Governing law

Flags contracts that don't clearly cite UAE jurisdiction — unusual and worth review.
