UAE citizens and residents can obtain flexible, temporary or part-time jobs with the federal government and public companies starting February 2, 2022.
On Monday, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation announced new general regulations, under Federal Decree Law no. 47 of 2021, that aim to unify the working systems across the country.
The new regulations expand the work options from full-time schemes, providing employees with the opportunity to get flexible, temporary or part-time contracts when applying for the federal government or private jobs.
Earlier last month, the ministry provided the work models for the private sector under the new labour law. The general regulations expand the work models to the federal government sector as the country strives to build a flexible and integrated workplace that responds to the post-pandemic world and attracts global talents.
