Consultation Paper No. 6 of 2024 - Proposed Amendments to Employment Regulations
The Abu Dhabi Global Market Registration Authority proposes amendments to the Employment Regulations 2019 to clarify employee entitlements, redefine 'Employee' to permit remote and part-time work, and update probation and termination rules. The proposals introduce new leave entitlements for adoption, nursing, and bereavement, remove statutory overtime pay, and mandate end-of-service gratuity regardless of termination reason. Additional changes expand employee duties, establish vicarious liability for employers, and regulate visa procurement and cancellation processes.
