Firms to be penalised for not meeting Emiratisation targets

Private sector companies with more than 50 employees to expedite achieving an Emiratisation rate of two per cent for skilled jobs to avoid penalties as declared by the UAE’s Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) on Thursday.

The UAE Cabinet Resolution earlier this year passed a resolution whereby private firms were given targets to meet Emiratisation goals by the end of this year. A minimum Emiratisation percentage of two per cent annually from highly skilled in establishments with more than 50 employees was announced in May 2022 for firms operating in the private sector.

This year’s two per cent Emiratisation rate is calculated as for every 50 non-Emiratis working in skilled jobs, one UAE national shall be hired. This decision aims to achieve an increase of 10 per cent in the Emiratisation rate by 2026.
