Dubai 20% Payrise
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister, has issued in his capacity as Ruler of Dubai a decree, ordering a 20 per cent raise in the basic salaries of all UAE national and foreign employees working in the emirate’s local government departments, press agency WAM has reported.
The employees will start receiving the pay increase, retroactive from January 1, 2007, with the first salary to be drawn after the human resources law number seven for 2006 takes effect.
The decree provides for adding the salary increase to the total pay of employees after being re-graded according to the new pay scale attached to the human resources law. However, such an increase shall not affect calculation of allowances that are based on the basic salary.
- Here we go again with the rampant inflation here.
- How does the recent pilots package increase look now.
- We are just playing catch-up, and falling further behind.
- January 1st!!! and the best EK can do is May (Maybe)!!
Disappointed!!
