UAE issues final warning to private sector: AED 108,000 fine per missing Emirati by Dec 31 | World News - The Times of India
The United Arab Emirates has issued a final warning to private companies to comply with the Emiratisation policy aimed at boosting local employment. Businesses that fail to meet the mandated quota of Emirati workers by December 31 could face penalties of up to AED 108,000 for each missing national employee. The government has emphasized that no extensions will be granted beyond the deadline. The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) has been closely monitoring compliance across various sectors and has already penalized several firms that tried to bypass the rules. This initiative is part of the UAE’s long-term plan to enhance Emirati participation in the private sector and reduce dependence on foreign labor.
