In an important step towards limiting negative employment practices, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) and the Emirati Competitiveness Council (Nafis) have begun implementing fines for companies falsifying Emiratisation data.
According to the rule, an establishment caught carrying out fake Emiratisation to get Nafis benefits could face a fine between Dh20,000 and Dh100,000 for each bogus Emirati employee. In addition to this, the financial support and other benefits will be suspended, and the paid amounts recovered.

— Dh550 for every child beyond the 4th child
Firms with 50 or more employees are mandated to raise their Emiratisation rate by 2 per cent of overall skilled jobs. It covers all sectors and fields of the private sector.
Starting January 1, 2023, those who fail to comply will have to pay Dh6,000 per month for each Emirati who is not employed.
