The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) announced on\nTuesday amendments to the mechanism of achieving Emiratisation targets in\nprivate sector companies with 50 employees or more, in line with the amendments\nof the provisions of Cabinet Resolution No. 5\/19 for 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Companies will now be required to increase Emiratisation in skilled jobs\nby 1% every six months, while remaining on track to achieve the overall 2%\ntarget by the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This step supports the continuity of the Emiratisation pace in the\nprivate sector year-round, in line with the directives of the Government of the\nUAE, which prioritises Emiratisation in its national strategy and agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The amendments do not include any additional commitments on the\ncompanies, nor any amendments to the amounts of financial contributions imposed\nfor non-compliance. However, these contributions will now be collected\nsemi-annually, encouraging the private sector to continuously employ Emiratis\nto meet their targets, instead of waiting until the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At a media briefing organised today by the Ministry of Human Resources\nand Emiratisation (MOHRE), His Excellency Dr. Abdulrahman Al Awar, the Minister\nof Human Resources and Emiratisation, said: \u201cThis step aims to maintain\nemployment and retention rates of Emiratis in the private sector at a time\nwhere we witnessed a 70% increase of Emiratis working in the private sector in\n2022, compared to 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Al Awar noted that the new mechanism does\nnot amend the annual targets \u2013 companies with 50 employees or more are required\nto achieve a 2% increase in Emiratisation of skilled jobs. The new mechanism\nstipulates that companies need to achieve 1% increase in Emiratisation before\nthe end of June 2023, and to reach the targeted 2% by end of year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He pointed out that \u201csupporting Emirati talent is a priority, in line\nwith the vision of the nation\u2019s wise leadership to provide a decent living to\nits people, boost their quality of life, and enhance the job opportunities\navailable to them. This is evident in the exemplary results achieved by Nafis\nin 2022, which through the amended mechanism, the Ministry aims to support in\nbalancing the pace of job seekers registering and the job opportunities being\noffered via Nafis\u2019 platform.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe private sector has proven itself as a credible partner, and we are\nconfident that the new amendments will reflect positively on the existing\ncooperation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The financial contributions on companies that do not meet the target for\nthe first half of 2023 will begin in July 2023, and the contributions for\nnon-compliance from 2022 will continue to be collected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
