    ADGM RA: 26 July 2024

    Download Arabic

    The Registration Authority (RA) of ADGM has issued a Consultation Paper to explain and seek public feedback on proposed amendments to the Employment Regulations 2019.

    The amendments enhance the Employment Regulations 2019 to reflect global changes in work practices, and to also provide greater clarity to employees and employers with respect to their rights and obligations.

    This Consultation Paper is of interest to all ADGM-licensed employers and individuals employed or engaged by such employers (or those seeking to be employed or engaged by such employers) and their legal advisors.

    The key features of the RA’s proposals are as follows:

    • Amending the definition of ‘employee’ to enable employers to hire remote employees and to allow for more flexible working arrangements.
    • Clarifying ambiguities related to employee entitlements, including part-time employees.
    • Expanding the list of employees’ duties to their employer, as well as expanding certain obligations employers have towards their employees.
    • Clarifying certain requirements regarding obtaining and cancelling an employee’s work permit and visa.
    • Expanding obligations and responsibilities related to discrimination and victimisation in the workplace.

    Consultation Paper No. 6 of 2024 – Employment Regulations.

    The consultation period will close on 26th August 2024.
