The Mena region’s fintech landscape is booming, with over 800 start-ups worth $15.5 billion
The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) has issued a decision regarding compliance with Emiratisation regulations in the private sector. The Ministerial Resolution No. 663 of 2022 stipulates controls for compliance with the Emiratisation systems, job advertisements, and employer obligations when hiring a UAE national, and in return, enabling the national to perform his/her work and obligations.
This comes as there are just 2 weeks remaining for the deadline for companies to meet the mandatory target of employing Emiratis in at least 2 per cent of skilled roles, as part of the Emirati Competitiveness Council (Nafis).
In a statement, MoHRE said "Expanding Emiratisation in the country requires regulating all aspects and components. We are keen to specify the duties and obligations of all parties, set laws to regulate recently observed violations through intensifying inspection visits, define necessary measures and ensure that all parties follow them."
The regulations of recruitment and the responsibilities of employers while following Nafis are as follows:
The decision also specifies the obligations of Emiratis who will be joining the private sector:
The ministerial resolution defines fake Emiratisation as a forged employment of a UAE national by issuing a work permit under his/her name and registering the employee in the facility for a purpose other than the intended purpose of the permit.
The resolution also defines the violating establishment as one that has proven to not comply with the conditions of the resolution, with an intention of benefiting from the government support and incentives related to the employment of UAE nationals.
It also defines the violating beneficiary as an Emirati who is proven to not adhere to the conditions of the Emiratisation resolutions with an intention to benefit by violating the contractual relationship.
