Hiring in Dubai: Are freelancers eligible to get leave, other benefits?

In Dubai, the freelance work model is gaining traction as a flexible and independent employment option. Governed by Article 8 of the Cabinet Resolution No. 1 of 2022, freelancers are defined as individuals who provide services or perform tasks for a specified period without being tied to a specific employer. This legal framework ensures that freelancers operate independently, earning income through their services while maintaining no formal employment relationship with clients or organizations.
