    However, the law also provides detailed guidelines that employers need to follow. The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) took to their social media accounts to raise awareness about what these guidelines are.
    The awareness post was shared on October 15. Image Credit: Ahmed Ramzan/Gulf News
