ADGM RA: 28 Oct 2019
Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), the International Financial Centre in Abu Dhabi, has issued new Employment Regulations 2019 (Regulations) and the Compensation Awards and Limits Rules 2019 (Rules), replacing its previous legislative framework regarding employment matters. The new legislation takes into consideration the public consultation that was undertaken earlier this year to review and improve ADGM’s legislative framework relating to employment.
The new Regulations and Rules strengthen ADGM’s employment framework in the interests of both employers and employees. The amendments were formulated after the ADGM Registration Authority conducted a thorough multi-jurisdictional benchmarking exercise to promote the highest standards in employment practice among firms operating on Al Maryah Island.
The key changes introduced by the Regulations and Rules include:
The Regulations will come into force on 1 January 2020.
Commenting on the new Regulations and Rules, Dhaher bin Dhaher Al Mheiri, CEO of the ADGM Registration Authority, said: “ADGM has been listening to employers and employees and working closely with stakeholders as well as market experts to improve the ADGM’s employment framework. The new changes, together with the existing world-class legislative and regulatory framework, is part of ADGM's ongoing commitment to international best practices, and will support ADGM entities to attract and retain the best talent available”.
