Sharjah 24 – WAM: Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) revealed on Wednesday that 441 private establishments have violated Emiratisation decisions from the second half of 2022 to date.
In a statement, MoHRE said 436 establishments were fined for false Emiratisation while five establishments were found to circumvent Emiratisation targets.

Penalties and administrative procedures were imposed on violating establishments, as well as ceasing the financial benefits provided by the Emirati Talent Competitiveness Council (Nafis) programme to UAE nationals who were proven to have been hired as false Emiratisation.

These measures were undertaken in line with the Cabinet Resolution No. (44) of 2023 on Amending Provisions of Cabinet Resolution No. (95) of 2022 about Violations and Administrative Penalties Related to the Initiatives and Programmes of the Emirati Talent Competitiveness Council (Nafis).

“We deal firmly with any violations of Emiratisation decisions as this stems from our commitment to achieving the objectives of Emiratisation initiatives and policies, which aim to enhance the UAE’s human development system, build a productive and sustainable Emirati human capital in the private sector, and ensure active participation from Emiratis in the national economy,” the Ministry said.

MoHRE applauded private sector establishments that complied with Emiratisation decisions, describing them as “partners to the government in achieving Emiratisation objectives, which are a national priority, supported and closely overseen by the wise leadership.”

In addition to imposing financial penalties, the violating establishments are downgraded to the third category, which is the lowest category within the classification system of private sector establishments registered with the Ministry. This step has several consequences for establishments, including higher fees to be paid for the Ministry’s service fees, compared to the fees paid by establishments in the first and second categories.

The Ministry refers establishments that commit sever violations to Emiratisation decisions to the Public Prosecution for legal action. It also cancels work permits of UAE nationals who were appointed falsely and orders violating establishments to pay the Emiratisation targets financial contributions.

“We urge UAE nationals not to accept false Emiratisation jobs, as the financial support allocated by Nafis aims to empower UAE nationals in real jobs, enabling them to actively participate in the UAE’s development process across various sectors,” the Ministry added.

“We call on Emiratis working in the private sector, as well as the general public, to report any violations related to Emiratisation decisions using our channels, either by contacting the call centre at 600590000 or through the Ministry’s smart application," the Ministry concluded.
