Consultation Paper No. 2 of 2019 - Proposed Amendments to the Employment Rules and Regulations in ADGM
The Abu Dhabi Global Market Registration Authority proposes amendments to the Employment Regulations 2015 and Compensation Rules 2016, including the introduction of a temporary work permit regime for non-employees such as secondees, interns, and freelancers. The proposals also establish a new overtime compensation framework based on a four-month reference period, revise sick leave entitlements to align with international standards, and introduce a one-way repatriation ticket entitlement upon termination. Additionally, the document seeks feedback on changes to Ramadan working hours, youth employment protections, notice period flexibility, and court powers regarding employment contracts and wage disputes.
