What legal protections do employees in Dubai have if they face verbal abuse or constant shouting from their boss?

UAE law clearly protects workers from verbal, physical, psychological, and sexual harassment — Article 14 of the Employment Law prohibits such behaviour, while Article 13 requires employers to provide a safe workplace; repeated shouting or demeaning language in front of colleagues can even amount to a criminal offence under Article 427 of the Crimes and Penalties Law, punishable by up to six months in jail or a Dh5,000 fine, and affected employees may file a complaint with MoHRE and even resign without notice within five days if the abuse is proven. Do you think UAE employees feel confident using these protections — or do job security fears still stop many from speaking up?
