The Ministry of Labour has informed
business owners with accumulated fines resulting from non-renewal of labour
cards or those un extracted by 31st Dec 2014, to take advantage of the grace period
to settle all fines by paying a Dhs.1, 000 per labour card violation.
The Ministry notes that as of 05th
March 2015, they will implement new administrative penalties, starting by a
Dhs.500 fine issued for not signing an electronic work agreement with
employees within 60 days from their arrival to the country or the amendment
of their residency status.
Moreover, Dhs.500 fine will be
imposed on firms that do not apply or renew electronic labour cards within 60
days from signing those contracts. Additionally, the above mentioned fines
increase by Dhs.500 per month.
This is a part of the Ministry of
Labour's earlier decision to replace the old plastic labour cards and
employment paper contracts with electronic ones starting from July 13 2014.
The implementation decision was then issued by HE Saqr Ghobash, Minister of
Labour.
Plastic Labour cards due for renewal
after July 13 will need to apply for the new system and replaced with
electronic permits which are valid for two years. Electronic labour card in
UAE is a part of the government’s initiative to serve public through
electronic systems which will reduce the time for processing documents.
