UAE to increase fines for private firms not complying with Emiratisation

Private companies who do not comply with the UAE’s 2 per cent Emiratisation rate will pay heftier fines year after year.

Private firms with 50 workers or more should have a 2 per cent Emirati workforce in high-skilled jobs, to be increased every year until a 10 per cent quota is achieved in the next five years.

Non-compliant firms will pay Dh6,000 fine a month for every unemployed citizen, which will increase by Dh1,000 every year starting from January 2023.
