Employment for People of Determination in the UAE

How employment protection works for people of determination

1. 1

   Know the two laws that protect you

   Two laws protect the employment rights of citizens of determination. They are Federal Law No. 29 of 2006 Concerning the Rights of People with Special Needs, and Dubai Government Law No. 2 of 2014. The Dubai law protects the rights of citizens with special needs within the emirate of Dubai.

   See what government entities must do

   The resolution requires government entities to protect the rights of people of determination, to ensure their right to work on an equal basis with others, and not to discriminate against them.

4. 4

   Check the incentives for private employers

   The resolution also stipulates that the private sector should be encouraged to integrate people of determination into their institutions, and to grant them exemptions and privileges. If you are job-hunting in the private sector, this is the framework that supports your employer in taking you on.

   Use rehabilitation and job-placement centres

   The Ministry of Interior's Centers for Rehabilitation and Employment of people with special needs empower individuals through training, rehabilitation and by facilitating job opportunities. Contact them for support in preparing for and finding work. As programmes and any related fees can change, confirm the current details on the authority's website.
