3/23/26, 8:16 AM Sheikh Mohammed issues decree on Dubai grievance committee
satisfaction, and compliance with public service laws and professional conduct

standards.

Under the decree, a specialized Grievance Adjudication Committee has been

formed to review appeals submitted to the Dubai Central Grievances

Committee. The committee has included a chairman, deputy chairman, and

members with legal and human resources expertise appointed by the Chairman

of The Executive Council of Dubai.

Membership of the adjudication body has included representatives from the

General Secretariat of The Executive Council, the Supreme Legislative

Committee, and the Dubai Government Human Resources Department. The

decree has also defined the mandates, responsibilities, and duties of the

Grievance Adjudication Committee and its members.

Government employees have been allowed to submit grievances within

fourteen working days after receiving written notification of the committee’s

decision or once the decision deadline has passed. Late submissions may be

accepted only when supported by a valid justification explaining the delay.

The decree has clarified that grievances may be submitted on grounds such as

lack of jurisdiction, misapplication of laws, failure to follow required procedures,

abuse of authority, excessive disciplinary measures, or decisions taken without

valid justification. Decisions issued by the committee have been considered

final and binding on the relevant government entity, although employees may

still appeal through the courts.
