still subect to labour law provisions, so you simply drop their salary to the min 3-5000 per month, or give them the correct discipline procedure before dumping them.

Re: No sackings for Emiratis?
There is a law that says every private sector has to hire about 50% of its employees as nationals. But if the employee really sucks there should be rules and laws to protect the company as well. I don't see what's the problem of protectionism as everyone seems to be doing it at these times aside from the U.K lol.

Not 50%. |
Re: No sackings for Emiratis?
Definitely not %50! It varies but usually around %5. And it doesn't apply to every sector. The number of employee's in the company is another factor.

Re: No sackings for Emiratis?
The gap between workplace national and international standards won't be crossed until the national education system is more in line with international standards. In the meantime, "skills transfer" and cultural differences/exepctations in the private sector will continue to be problematic for some.
Any law under consideration can only try to keep the Emiratisation programme on track whilst trying to find solutions to existing issues; the measure of the sucecss surely depends on the will of the individuals and companies involved. Its a long term issue. |

Re: No sackings for Emiratis?
well, from what the article says, it seems to be implementing the kind of redundancy rights [for emiratis] that are available in the UK - as in, a company isn't allowed to make you redundant until they have been seen to at least try to offer you alternatives, such as offering a part-time admin job 200 miles away, in lieu of your full-time consultancy position (for example!)... which of course, you would refuse...

But in a free zone I don't think it applies. We have no Emiratis with us.

Please don't get a job as a lawyer. As for the dramatic Gulf News headline, they are just trying to sell newspapers. Emiratis will still get sacked if they are lazy, absent or generally a pain in the ass. My understanding is that the proposed rule simply aims to stop them getting laid-off on purely economic grounds.
