The Minister of Human Resources and Emiratisation, Dr. Abdul Rahman Abdul-Mannan Al-Awar, stated that the ministry can ensure that realistic Emiratisation is achieved, through systems in coordination with the “Nafis” program, and through the digital system linked to other parties in the country, including the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security, and the Authority Federal Pensions and Social Security, and others, as it provides a digital cover that protects the process of hiring citizens from any manipulation.
He confirmed to "Emirates Today" that among the means of verifying the reality of resettlement is the inspection sector in the ministry, which follows up the settlement process to ensure that it is not fictitious, pointing out that "any practice proven to be in violation of the settlement decision will take legal measures against it to the maximum, because the goal It is to ensure that citizens participate vividly in the labor market, in addition to this, allowing them sources of income, building families, participating in the economic cycle of the state, enhancing the purchasing power of an important segment in the market, as well as building national competencies,” noting that the Labor Relations Regulation Law protects settlement system.
Al-Awar added: "It is sad that there is fraud that prevents citizens from benefiting from participation in building the labor market."
He said, "The labor market in the UAE is active and successful, and the private sector in it enjoys many privileges, and evidence of this is the economic results, as we see, in 2022, global economic indicators that show the health and strength of the UAE economy, as well as the activity of the private sector, and its ability to compete. Whether at the state, regional or global level.
He added, "The great success that the country's economy enjoys is confirmed by the growth in job opportunities, which includes qualitative opportunities. It represents a great indication that the UAE labor market is moving in the right direction in terms of productive contributions to the national economy."
He stated that the "Nafis" program, which was recently launched by the government, provides advantages that are not available in any other program in the field of enhancing the presence of national cadres in the labor market. 12 programs come under the umbrella of "Nafis", including wage support, training, certificates, and the retirement system for employees. He stressed that "these programs and benefits can be used to enable the private sector to achieve its growth, and to provide citizens with participation in the labor market, at the same time."
He pointed out that the decision to nationalize at a rate of 2% for companies with 100 workers, comes to create job opportunities without negatively affecting economic growth, but rather by creating an incentive and an opportunity for the private sector to benefit from the advantages of "Nafis".
On the other hand, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation has set an annual increase of 1,000 dirhams in the fine for failing to implement the prescribed 2% Emiratisation rate, until it reaches 10,000 dirhams in 2026.
The ministry explained in a media briefing, which it held recently, that the fine for non-compliance with the settlement rate is 6000 dirhams per month for each citizen who must be employed, pointing out that the private facility that employs 100 employees and workers is required to localize 2% of the number of its workers.
He stressed that the positive indicators of work in the country came as a result of the directives of the leadership of the state and the government, and based on the growth witnessed by the labor market at rates that exceed its counterparts in other markets, noting that job opportunities will remain available to all, and that government programs will continue to provide opportunities for support and incentives, to empower companies The private sector can continue to grow, and then it can be emphasized that Emiratisation does not mean replacement, because what the market is witnessing is growth in job opportunities and average wage rates, supports the idea of creating jobs, in addition to that the state aims to attract global competencies to the Emirates, to enhance the activity of National economy.
Al-Awar pointed out that the unemployment allowance will apply to employees and workers in the government and private sectors, regardless of nationality, and will provide an opportunity to ensure an environment that achieves greater reassurance for workers, and provides flexibility for the worker to agree on better benefits with the service provider, as it will be provided through the basic line system. For the unemployment insurance system, the system allows providing greater benefits based on the worker's agreement with the service provider.
