Last 2 years not even the contractual 3% steps.
had same school allowance for kids when Ijoined until I left end of last year. And you will have to pay out of your pocket for school.
Hourly payrise, what a joke, is was about 2 AED (yes 2 Dirham!!!) adjustment, but at least they increased the overtime payment threshold...
Inflation much higher than announced by government.
Introduction of 5% VAT, no adjustment to salary for that.
Housing allowance does not exist for new joiners unless you buy, has been the same for the last 6-7 years if i remember correctly.
Do your maths, they squeeze you like a lemon...all in their favour
