Dubai, January 10: In a move to ease changing of jobs by expatriate workers, the United Arab Emirates has ruled that employees, who had completed three years in a company, no longer need a No Objection Certificate from their employer if they a want to shift their job.

UAE Labour Minister Ali Bin Abdullah Ka'abi said any person who has been with the same sponsor for more than three years does not need an NOC for shifting of jobs.

"NOCs are not needed for employees who wish to change job on completing three years, but the fees for transferring are still applied," he was quoted as saying by the Gulf News.

However, no ministerial decision has yet been issued in this regard, although, the practice has been applied at the Ministry of Labour for the past four months.

Previously, the ministry asked for an NOC from any employee who wanted to change his job. In the absence of the certificate, a six-month ban was imposed.
