President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan has issued a decree introducing amendments to the Federal Law on Human Resources. The Decree containing federal law No.9/Year 2011 amends a number of articles in the existing law (Law No. 11/2008) pertaining to types of employment and contracts.

According to the amendment, each federal government entity is asked to formulate detailed contracts of employment specifying the rights and duties of every employee and the professional ethics he/she is asked to abide by for improving the quality of government services and enhancing output. Each employee should sign this contract.

The amendments specify four types of employment contracts the federal entities can offer to its employees, namely, full-time work, part-time work, temporary work and special assignments contracts.

The amendments aim to create more job opportunities to citizens and help them to gain experience and skills for accepting new jobs according to their career ambitions. The amendments were given approval by the cabinet and were discussed at a special workshop earlier. The amendments are made in the light of the UAE Vision 2021. - Emirates News Agency, WAM
