Abu Dhabi Global Market Consultation Paper No. 5 - Employment Regulations
The Board of Directors of the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) issued this consultation paper to invite public comment on proposed Employment Regulations designed to establish a fair balance of rights and obligations between employers and employees. The draft framework combines a statutory code with English common law, proposing an employment tribunal system for dispute resolution and fixed maximum compensation awards for regulatory breaches. Key provisions include limits on working hours, mandatory leave entitlements, data protection obligations, and specific protections against discrimination and unfair termination.
