Six days of paid leave for Dubai government employees to attend Expo 2020 Dubai

Dubai government employees are being granted a special allowance of six additional days of paid leave to attend the Expo 2020 Dubai.

The six-day leave can be used at anytime during the period of Expo 2020, which runs from October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022.

The directive was issued by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai on Monday to encourage these government employees to visit the Expo along with their families.

“The Government of Dubai is keen to implement innovative solutions to achieve the highest levels of excellence. It is crucial that employees get to learn from the successful experiences and ideas being showcased at the event, which will contribute to inspiring new approaches that can help realise the ambitious goals of the UAE in the next 50 years,” said Sheikh Hamdan.
