Unique system

This unique system provides security for employees who lose their jobs for reasons other than disciplinary action or resignation until they find a new job. Qualified employees are compensated with monthly cash benefits of up to 60 per cent of the average salary in the last 6 months before losing their job.

Graduity

Through this scheme, the amounts allocated for end-of-service gratuity for employees working in companies that choose to subscribe to the system are invested through investment funds approved by the ministry and the authority, with the aim of developing the employees’ savings and benefiting from their investment returns.

The “Savings Scheme” contributes to increasing the attractiveness of the labour market for national and international talents and experiences, thus confirming the UAE’s position as one of the most prominent destinations for living and working.
