DUBAI: The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) will begin audits starting July 1.
The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) has called on eligible companies to ensure a minimum 1% increase in their skilled Emirati workforce by the end of June 2025. This push is part of the national Emiratisation strategy aimed at integrating more UAE nationals into skilled roles within the private sector.
Starting July 1, MoHRE will audit companies to check compliance with not only hiring targets but also mandatory procedures such as registering Emirati employees in approved social security funds and ensuring timely contribution payments. Companies that fall short will be subject to penalties, including fines of AED 42,000 for every Emirati not hired—calculated at a rate of AED 7,000 per month as per the 2023 Cabinet Decision.
