Dubai: Got a job offer in the UAE? Congratulations! While it can be an exciting time and you may want to get started quickly on your new work assignment, it is important to check your employment contract in detail before signing on the dotted line.
One of the key elements of the work contract that need to be considered is the salary breakdown you receive.
UAE employers provide employees with a total take home salary, which is broken down into various categories, like basic salary, transport allowance, housing allowance and more.
