The UAE’s Labour Claims and Advisory Centre is helping workers and employers deal with employment questions by phone, with support in more than 22 languages. The service uses AI-powered tools to speed up assistance, according to coverage published on 6 August.

The centre is presented as a dedicated phone-based service for workplace matters. It covers employment contract questions, labour complaints and guidance on workplace rights. The available reporting says millions of workers and employers are relying on it, but it does not say how many individual workers or employers have used the centre.

One source headline and URL refer to 34 million calls during the first half of 2026. That figure refers to calls, not necessarily to 34 million people. A single worker or employer could contact the service more than once, so the number of users cannot be confirmed from the supplied coverage.

What the Centre Covers

The service is designed for both sides of the employment relationship. Workers can use it for questions about their contracts, complaints linked to their jobs and guidance on workplace rights. Employers can also seek support on employment-related issues.

The reporting does not provide a full list of complaint types. It also does not explain whether every issue can be settled through the phone service, or whether some cases are sent to another process. That distinction matters if you need to know what happens after making a complaint.

The centre’s name suggests a focus on labour claims and advice. However, the available sources do not state whether it can issue decisions, arrange mediation, refer cases or only provide information. Readers should confirm those next steps before treating a phone call as a formal resolution.

Support in More Than 22 Languages

Language access is a central part of the service. Support in more than 22 languages gives workers and employers a way to discuss employment questions without relying only on English or Arabic.

That can make contract questions and workplace-rights guidance easier to understand. It may also help callers explain a complaint more clearly. The sources describe the language support as an access measure, but they do not list the languages available or identify which languages are most frequently used.

The service therefore appears aimed at a wide workforce and employer base. The exact reach of that support is not provided, so the coverage does not show how many callers used a language other than Arabic or English.

How AI Is Used

The centre also uses AI-powered solutions to speed up service delivery. The supplied reporting does not name the specific tools, explain whether they handle calls directly or assist staff, or give a measured reduction in waiting or processing times.

That means the available evidence supports a narrower claim: AI is part of the centre’s service model, and the coverage says it helps make assistance faster. It does not provide enough detail to say how the technology works in practice or how much time it saves.

The sources also do not provide evidence of improved settlement rates, complaint outcomes or dispute-resolution times. They describe demand and service features, but not the results of individual cases.

What Callers Need to Know

The supplied coverage does not provide the centre’s phone number, operating hours or eligibility requirements. It also does not explain which documents a caller should prepare, whether calls are recorded or what languages are available at each time.

For now, the clearest information is that the centre offers phone-based help on contracts, labour complaints and workplace rights, with support in more than 22 languages and AI-powered assistance. Anyone needing to file a formal complaint should confirm the contact details and process through the relevant official UAE labour channel.

The centre’s reporting is useful as a sign of scale, but the missing operational details limit what callers can do with the information. The number of calls is not the same as the number of people helped, and faster service is not the same as a proven improvement in case outcomes.
