Frequently
Asked Questions
Emiratisation is a strategic initiative by the UAE government to increase the employment of Emirati nationals in the private sector. It is a key national policy aimed at building a diverse, skilled, and sustainable workforce by integrating UAE talent into the country's economic growth. For companies, it means meeting specific quotas for hiring Emirati employees.
Under current UAE law, private sector companies with more than 20 employees are required to meet specific Emiratisation quotas. The most prominent target is a 10% Emiratisation rate by the end of 2026, with incremental annual increases. It's vital to stay updated on the latest targets set by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE).
The penalties for non-compliance are significant. Companies that fail to meet their Emiratisation quotas face substantial fines, which can be as high as AED 42,000 (approximately $11,435) per unfilled Emirati position. These financial penalties are designed to encourage proactive compliance and Emirati talent integration.
NAFIS is the UAE government's federal program designed to increase the competitiveness of Emirati talent and support their employment in the private sector. It offers various incentives, including training subsidies and salary support programs, to both employers and Emirati job seekers. Partnering with a recruitment expert can help you access NAFIS-trained talent and understand these benefits.
Employers have specific responsibilities when hiring UAE Nationals. These obligations include:
Obtaining a work permit from MoHRE.
Signing an employment contract compliant with the Wages Protection System (WPS).
Enrolling the employee in the pension and social security system within one month of joining.
Providing appropriate training and tools for the employee's success.

A strategic approach is key. While a general job posting may yield applicants, partnering with a specialized HR consultancy offers a more effective solution.
