Shaikh Saud bin Rashid Al Mualla, Crown Prince of Umm Al Quwain, last Thursday presided over a meeting in which directors of all local departments in the emirate discussed the draft law for amendment of salaries of non-UAE nationals. The law, when approved, will be applicable to all expatriate employees working for local departments in the emirate, regardless of nationality.
Official sources in the Finance Department in Umm Al Quwain disclosed that the pay hike would be 100 per cent. The basic salary, annual increment, minimum time limit to stay in a particular pay scale and the conditions set for occupying a job have been rated and classified according to the pay scale of each employee.
