Work contract - employee wants to settle in Dubai. We convinced him to work with us with Indian rupees salary. whether it is legal?

An employee who is working with us for past 4yrs and now he wants to settle in Dubai. But we convinced him to work with us with Indian rupees salary. whether it is legal? Do we have to follow any procedure?

Hi,

If the employee is currently on regular rolls signing the Attendance Register then better move the employee to rolls of a Retainer Contract . You may credit the salary after adjusting the TDS in his Indian Bank Account. TDS certificate to be issued on yearly basis and it up to the employee to file the income tax returns.

If the employee is going to use his own system/laptop then include company confidentiality terms in the letter of contract. Specify the work timings. Better discuss whether the employee is going to dedicate his work as a full time consultant or part time consultant.

Thanks for the input but do we have to register legally in Dubai for it

Hi,

Employee upon his own discretion settling in Dubai or moving over there. Company is not relocating him/her to Dubai. So no need for any legal registration process.
