There will be no difference between conventional employees and remote employees in the crypto Industry. UAE labor law applies to remote crypto teams by requiring them to comply with all traditional employment regulations, such as issuing compliant contracts, ensuring health insurance, obtaining visas and work permits, and paying through the Wage Protection System (WPS). For remote employees, companies must also address specific aspects like data privacy, secure technology, and work-life balance through a clear remote work policy. Companies should also clarify the terms of any cryptocurrency-based compensation, as recent court cases have shown a need for precise valuation methods. 

UAE Labor Law
  • Crypto compensation: Clearly define any cryptocurrency compensation in the contract, including a precise method for valuing the cryptocurrency and calculating the corresponding fiat currency value.
  • Intellectual property (IP): Include specific clauses to address the assignment of intellectual property rights, which is particularly important for crypto companies.
