    4. In a landmark decision, the Dubai Court of First Instance has recognized the payment of salaries in cryptocurrency. This significant shift marks a new approach to digital currencies in employment contracts in the UAE.

    Case Background: A Shift Toward Cryptocurrency

    The case involved a plaintiff employee who sued for unpaid wages and wrongful termination. The contract included a fiat salary and an additional 5,250 EcoWatt tokens. The dispute arose from the defendant's failure to pay the EcoWatt portion for six months.

    The 2023 Ruling: Traditional Approach

    In a similar 2023 case, the court took a cautious stance, refusing to award payment in EcoWatt tokens due to the lack of a clear valuation. This reflected a need for concrete financial evidence.

    The 2024 Ruling: Embracing Cryptocurrency

    In 2024, the court adopted a progressive stance, recognizing the validity of cryptocurrency payments and ordering the salary to be paid in EcoWatt tokens. The court underscored that wages are an employee's right, regardless of the currency.

    Regarding the request for the monthly salary, it is established according to Article 912 of the Civil Transactions Law that wages are a right of the worker against the employer. The employer must pay wages on due dates.None

    This ruling marks a significant development in the UAE legal landscape, indicating wider acceptance of digital currencies. The court's decision sets a robust precedent for future cases involving cryptocurrency salaries.
