What jobs actually pay
Bands, not promises. Always confirm on the employer letter.
- Hospitality / retail floor
- AED 3–8k + housing or SC
- Warehouse / entry ops
- AED 2.5–4.5k + overtime/housing*
- Mid office / tech
- AED 12–25k
- Senior / specialised
- AED 25–45k+
There is no official minimum wage for most private jobs. Packages split basic / housing / transport / tickets. A ‘12,000’ with a tiny basic and huge commission is not the same as 12,000 basic.
Hospitality often looks low until you add staff housing and service charge. Sales OTE is a hope. Read the offer the way the journal piece tells you, then put the number in the rent table.
Practical notes, not official law. Confirm on ICP, MOHRE, RTA, KHDA and your employer before you act.
