𝐀 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐇𝐑 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬:

🕘 New employees feel lost, unsure where to go or how onboarding works.
🕚 Managers struggle as employee issues pile up with no clear resolution.
🕐 Payroll and benefits get delayed, creating administrative chaos.
🕒 Open roles remain vacant due to unresolved hiring bottlenecks.
🕔 Employees log off feeling disconnected from the organization and its purpose.

HR is often seen as a support function but in reality, it’s a business enabler.

When HR systems, processes, and partnerships are strong, organizations run smoother, people perform better, and leaders can focus on growth instead of firefighting.

HR is not just a function, it’s the backbone of the workplace.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐃𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐢 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐛 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 👀

Dubai offers incredible career opportunities, but a job offer should never be accepted on excitement alone. Before you say yes, pause and check these points carefully 👇

1️⃣ 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐯𝐬 𝐓𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐞
Your gratuity, overtime, and end-of-service benefits are calculated on basic salary, not the full package. Always know the split.

2️⃣ 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭
If it’s not written in the offer letter or contract, it doesn’t legally exist. Promotions, increments, bonuses, get them documented.

3️⃣ 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐫𝐞𝐚
Understand the probation period, notice terms, and exit conditions clearly. Assumptions here cost people months of stress later.

4️⃣ 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐚 & 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲
Confirm who covers visa costs, medical insurance, leaves, air tickets, and dependents (if applicable). Never feel awkward asking.

5️⃣ “𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡” 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐚 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
Growth is not a word, it’s a plan. Ask how, when, and based on what.

As HR professionals, employers, and candidates, we all share responsibility for transparency.

A clear start leads to a stable, long-term relationship, for both sides.
📌 Employees deserve clarity. Not surprises.

The UAE authorities have announced the Amnesty Program that helps violators of the Residence, Visit, and Tourist visa. They will have a two-month grace period to have their fines waived. Starting September 1st until October 31st 2024, violators will be exempt from any fine for overstaying or absconding under the Federal Law on Foreign Entry and Residency. And get hired by the companies offering jobs to skilled workers at the Amer and ICP centres.

Keep up to date with the latest news regarding UAE visas, law and more.

In order to implement this initiative, the Authority will waive fines and legal consequences, allowing violators to either adjust their status or leave the country without difficulty. In a statement, the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) stated that the decision aims to provide violators with a new opportunity to regularize their status in accordance with the law, as a gesture that demonstrates the values of compassion and tolerance that underpin the UAE.

The grace period, starting September 1st, will allow violators to regularize their status or leave the country without incurring fines. In a statement, the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) said the decision aims to provide violators with a new opportunity to regularize their status in accordance with the law, as a gesture that reflects the values of compassion and tolerance upon which the UAE is built".

Fines will be imposed on those who fail to leave the country or renew their visas before expiration. The penalties have been standardised as of 2023. Residents, tourists and visit visa holders who overstay now pay Dh50 a day instead of Dh100. Expats wishing to renew their visa are given grace periods of up to six months after their residence visa is cancelled or expired.

Applicants can submit a request to exempt/reduce the fine imposed on violators of the Foreigners' Entry and Residence Law through a dedicated service. Among the documents required are a copy of the violator's passport, a letter explaining the reasons for the violations and his or her inability to pay them, as well as any other documents requested by the Fines Committee. Customers are required to visit their nearest Customer Happiness Center (Amer), obtain an automated queue ticket, submit their application and documents (if applicable) to the customer service employee, and pay the service fee (if applicable).

Sick Leave Law in UAE (Paid and Unpaid)

After the probationary period ends, employees are only allowed 90 days of sick leave a year. The 90 days of sick leave can be continuous or intermittent, and the salary is as follows:

- Full payment for the first 15 days
- Half payment for the next 30 days
- No payment for the rest 45 days

The employee may, however, request sick leave without pay during the probationary period, provided the employer approves and based on a medical report from the medical entity stating the necessity of the leave.

Additionally, in the following circumstances, an employee is not eligible for paid sick leave:

- During the probationary period
- The illness is directly caused by the worker's misconduct, such as drinking alcohol or using drugs
- In the case of an employee who violated instructions regarding safety in accordance with UAE legislation, as well as the firm's regulations, which the employee was informed of.

According to Article 31 of the UAE Labour Law, employees are required to notify their employers of their illness within three days, as well as submit a medical report, issued by a medical professional certifying their condition.

Is it possible to terminate an employee due to sickness?

When an employee is on sick leave, the employer may not dismiss him or give him a termination notice. If the employee fails to return to work after taking all of his 90 days of sick leave, the employer may terminate his employment. Employees in such situations are entitled to end-of-service benefits in accordance with the provisions of the Labour law.

Wages are due from the first of the month until the 15th of the month.

Employers are in default of paying wages if they fail to do so within the first 15 days following the due date unless a shorter period has been agreed upon.

how can you register for WPS?

Please be aware of the following requirements before registering for WPS:

A corporate bank account with any UAE-registered bank is required.

WPS agents are responsible for the payment of wages to your employees under a contract. WPS agents may be banks, exchange houses, or any other financial institution registered with MOHRE.

A minimum of 90% of all staff wages and salaries must be paid.

Payment fees, expenses, provider charges, and other related costs must be met by you.
