The Abu Dhabi Misdemeanour Court has levied a Dh10 million fine on a private company for non-compliance with Emiratisation standards and controls in the private sector. The company was convicted of evading Emiratisation targets by creating 113 fictitious positions for citizens. The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (Mohre) identified severe breaches in the company's Emiratisation practices, leading to the case being forwarded to the Abu Dhabi Public Prosecution for investigation. These breaches involved issuing work permits and enrolling employees in non-existent roles. The company's failure to adhere to the Nafis programme was aimed at avoiding laws and ministerial directives designed to meet targeted employment rates for Emirati citizens in the private sector. Investigations disclosed that the company had issued work permits for employees and registered them with the company without actual employment, with the intent to bypass the law and ministerial decisions governing the attainment of the targeted citizen employment percentage in the private sector. Following the investigation's findings, the Abu Dhabi Public Prosecution directed the case to the competent court, which issued a verdict finding the company guilty.
