    Important Emiratisation Deadline: June 30th

    Private sector companies in the UAE with 50 employees or more must meet their six-month Emiratisation targets by June 30th. These targets require hiring 1% of skilled jobs, aiming for a 2% Emiratisation rate by year-end.

    The authorities reminded non-compliant companies that they faced half-yearly fines of $11,435 (Dhs42,000) for every Emirati not hired.
