The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) has begun issuing fines to workers who have not registered with the UAE’s Unemployment Insurance Scheme or have failed to pay their periodic installments. They report that over 6.7 million workers have registered in the scheme, including those in the federal government and the private sector. About 14% of all workers have been impacted by the imposed financial penalties due to non-registration in the system. Penalties for non-compliance include a Dhs400 fine for non-subscription and a Dhs200 fine for irregular payment. This Unemployment Insurance Scheme aims to provide financial compensation for up to three months after job displacement.
