UAE Sets Violations for New Work Permit Suspension

The United Arab Emirates has issued a directive detailing four specific violations that can result in a company being barred from obtaining new work permits. This directive is governed by Ministerial Resolution No. 543 of 2022, which outlines conditions for the administrative suspension of an establishment's ability to issue new permits.

The violations include: 1) failing to provide appropriate labor accommodation, 2) facing allegations of human-related offenses, 3) abusing privileges granted under UAE labor law, and 4) committing breaches as stipulated in the Cabinet Resolution. The suspension directly affects the firm's file, meaning any company found in violation will be prohibited from issuing new work permits for the duration of the suspension.

Employers in the UAE are encouraged to review the full provisions of Ministerial Resolution No. 543 of 2022 to ensure compliance with all outlined requirements.
