The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) revealed that 565 companies were proven to have hired a total 824 UAE nationals in fake Emiratisation jobs since mid-last year, saying it has initiated \u201cthe necessary legal and administrative action against them.\u201d
Over 17,000 private establishments employ Emiratis, with the total number of nationals working in the private sector exceeding 81,000, marking the highest number of Emiratisation in the private sector in the country\u2019s history.
\u201cFake Emiratisation is a clear violation of Emiratisation-related decisions and the regulations of the Nafis programme,\u201d MoHRE said in a statement on Wednesday.
\u201cThe efficient tracking by the Ministry’s digital and field monitoring system, which was specifically designed to ensure that private sector establishments are meeting their commitments related to the Emiratisation decisions, has proven these violations.\u201d
MoHRE added: \u201cWe are committed to enforcing Emiratisation policies and tracking violations that aim to undermine its objectives.
\u201cLegal and administrative procedures have been taken against violating establishments, including degrading their categorization within MoHRE\u2019s systems, imposing fines ranging from AED20,000 to AED100,000, and potential referral to the Public Prosecution, based on the level of the violation.\u201d
The Ministry has ceased Nafis payments from nationals proven to have been involved in fake Emiratisation and recovered previous financial support. \u201cThis move is in accordance with the UAE Cabinet Resolution No. 44 of 2023, which modifies some provisions of the Cabinet Resolution No. 95 of 2022 on penalties and administrative fines related to Emirati Talent Competitiveness Council\u2019s (Nafis) initiatives and programmes,\u201d MoHRE explained.
The Ministry expressed its appreciation for most private sector establishments\u2019 \u201ccommitment to the targeted Emiratisation targets,\u201d saying the public-private partnership \u201cstrengthens the country\u2019s economic development objectives.\u201d
MoHRE has called on members of the community to report any violations by contacting the call center at 600590000 or using the Ministry’s smart app and website.
Emiratisation is considered fake when it is confirmed that a UAE national works in a nominal job without real tasks to meet the establishment\u2019s required Emiratisation targets, and\/or when an Emirati is rehired in the same establishment with the aim of circumventing data and benefiting from the relevant benefits of Emiratisation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
