Abstract
An individual labor dispute is a dispute between the employer and the worker, and it may arise when one of the parties to the employment agreement violates the obligations or one of the obligations stipulated in the employment contract concluded between both of them. It may also occur when there is violation of a legal or regulatory provision in a manner that causes harm to the other party. This kind of dispute consists of two elements; the first is the one that is related to the parties to the dispute, and the second is the one that is related to the subject matter of the dispute. The UAE Federal Decree-Law regarding the regulation of employment relationship relied more on amicable mechanisms for resolving this kind of a labor dispute. These mechanisms, as stipulated in this Decree-Law, can be divided into three: amicable settlement mechanism that may be handled by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, friendly settlement that may be handled by the case management office and the judicial settlement mechanism that may be handled by a competent court. Therefore, this study aims at examining the nature of individual labor disputes, the mechanisms prescribed for resolving the disputes and the regulations attached to the implementation of these mechanisms, so as to affirm the notion that the Labor Law No. (33) of 2021 as enshrined by the UAE is adequate and effective in resolving the individual labor disputes in its various forms.
