Ras Al Khaimah: The Personnel Department at the emirate's local government here yesterday issued a dress code circular for the employees of the emirate's civil servants announcing that a new dress code will be effective from January 1, 2007.
The national male employees of the emirate's local departments should wear the national dress (Kandoura) while female national employees should stick to the Abaya. Expatriate employees should wear suits and ties.
Dr Ma'ath Al Mutawa'a, who heads the emirate's Personnel Department, said the employees of the local departments will have a uniform which reflects the progress being seen in the emirate.
He added that the move of imposing a uniform on the employees was a part of the emirate's strategy to improve the various services and facilities.
He stressed that the emirate's employees will have no room to bypass the new dress code, adding that the emirate's Government aims to impose the new uniform to preserve the beautification of the various departments and raise standards.
Dr Al Mutawa'a said the decision on the dress code was taken after a large number of employees were reported to have been coming to work in casual clothes.
He added that a big number of the emirate's employees had been caught on duty in their sleeping attire and pyjamas.
The emirate's higher authorities stated that the way the employees dressed was totally unacceptable and should be handled on the spot.
He stressed that the issue of indecent clothes worn by employees who came to work has been a major issue that had been handled in such a way as to stop inappropriate dressing.
He added that the Governmental Personnel Department issued a circular and distributed it to the emirate's various departments instructing them that the dress code will be mandatory from the beginning of the coming year and that all the employees should stick to it.
