Job Loss Insurance in Dubai

Dubai introduces a job Loss insurance scheme for all workers.

The United Arab Emirates has announced an important Job Loss Insurance scheme in Dubai for workers in the country’s private and government sectors, local media reported on Thursday. The unique scheme aims to protect employees of all nationalities against the risk of job loss.

During a media briefing on Thursday, Abdulrahman Al Awar, Minister of Human Resources and Emiratisation, confirmed that employees who lose their jobs under unforeseen circumstances will receive cash support for a limited period until they find an alternative. If the terminated employee did not find another job after a period of time, the cash support will be cut off, noted the minister, without specifying the time frame within which the support will last.
