The national program to support the stability of the labor market in the private sector has provided five government facilities to private sector employers, aiming to lift all restrictions applied to all establishments registered with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, which were affected by the precautionary measures announced by the state to counter the consequences of the spread of the virus (Covid) 19) Known as "Corona".
The first facilities included the obtaining of new internal work permits by the employers and the possibility of renewing work permits for registered workers on the targeted facilities, within the framework of support packages provided to employers, within the “national program for the stability of the labor market in the private sector”.
The list of facilities included permitting establishments to retrieve the bank guarantee immediately upon renewing the work permit and insurance for the worker with an exemption from the waiting period associated with the wage protection system, and obtaining new work permits despite the presence of expired previous work permits that need to be settled by paying the fine owed on them.
These included allowing firms to renew work permits without requiring them to renew expired permits for more than six months, as well as allowing the facility to issue new internal work permits on professions of the third skill level without requiring them under the "scientific certificate" requirement.
