The country’s unemployment insurance scheme separately paid more than Dhs512m between its launch in 2024 and the end of June 2026

The move forms part of broader efforts to strengthen labour market governance and improve the efficiency of government services while safeguarding the rights of employers

The new Tabby service offers customers greater flexibility in paying their financial obligations, providing them with an easy and convenient process to complete their transactions

The annual initiative reflects the UAE’s continued commitment to promoting worker welfare through a human-centred labour market framework

MoHRE said the latest decision is part of ongoing efforts to further develop the regulatory and procedural framework governing the Wage Protection System

Officials said the initiative reflects the UAE’s continued commitment to strengthening workers’ wellbeing and social inclusion during major national and religious occasions

The action forms part of the ministry’s strategy aimed at regulating the domestic worker recruitment sector and protecting the rights of employers

In a press statement, the Ministry urged employers and Emirati and resident families to deal only with licensed domestic worker recruitment offices

Companies have been urged to amend employment contracts for Emirati staff in line with the new minimum wage before the June deadline
