IMPACT — MEDIUM
The Emirati government has announced that it will fine employers up to 500,000 AED (about US$136,000) for not meeting Emiratization requirements.
Key Points:
Background: Emiratization targets require employers with 50 employees or more to increase the number of its Emirati employees in skilled positions by 1% every six months, ultimately achieving a 2% Emiratization by the end of each year. Employers are expected to achieve a 10% Emiratization rate by the end of 2026.
BAL Analysis: Employers should plan ahead to ensure they meet the new employment requirements to avoid applicable fines.
