The CEO of a private firm in the UAE is under investigation for flouting rules aimed at increasing Emirati work force under new recruitment laws.
In a social media statement, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office for Combating Rumors and Cybercrime said the firm was pulled up for an advert for an "unskilled job" for citizens, widely circulated online.
The authority said the advert violated both Emiratisation guidelines and "media content standards", branding it "contentious content".
According to the law, private firms with at least 50 employees must ensure that two per cent of their staff are Emirati.
The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation stressed it is "necessary" for private companies to "employ Emiratis in skilled jobs".
From January 2023, non-compliant firms will have to pay a monthly penalty of AED 6,000 for every UAE national that it fails to hire.
