Here is what Emirates says on their website:

· Who pays my electricity, water and telephone bills?
Emirates we will pay the costs of electricity, water supply and municipality taxes (if the employee resides in company accommodation). The local calls to land lines are free of charge and the company will provide a telephone allowance.
After receiving my DEWA memo, it says that Emirates has a cap of 27000 dhs... I am already about to reach it... and I can tell you that we are not a big water neither electricity consumer!!!
50000 kw/h (climatisation most probably the reason) and 160000 IG for 24000 dhs!!!
So who pays the bill at the end? pilots or EK?
