Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Emiratisation quota?

The UAE government requires private sector companies with 50+ employees to achieve a minimum percentage of UAE nationals (Emiratis) in their workforce. The target increases annually. Companies that fail to meet the quota face fines of AED 108,000 per year per gap position.

How is the Emiratisation fine calculated?

For each Emirati position below the required quota, companies are fined AED 6,000/month (AED 72,000/year, increasing by AED 1,000/month each subsequent year). The fine compounds for each missing Emirati hire.

What is the Nafis programme?

Nafis is a UAE government programme that subsidises Emirati salaries in the private sector. Companies hiring Emiratis through Nafis can receive salary support of up to AED 7,000/month for up to 5 years, significantly reducing the cost of compliance.

Do free zone companies need to comply?

Currently, Emiratisation requirements primarily apply to mainland companies. However, some free zones are beginning to introduce their own Emiratisation targets. Check with your specific free zone authority for the latest requirements.
