3/23/26, 8:19 AM Dubai issues new Decree on Central Grievances Committee for government employees | Lana News | Breaking News, Busine…

The Decree also sets out the grounds on which a grievance may be rejected. These include cases where the matter
falls outside the Grievance Adjudication Committee’s jurisdiction, where a submission is made after the deadline,
where the matter has already been decided by the Committee or the courts, or where the employee does not hold
the right or a legitimate interest to file.

All decisions of the Grievance Adjudication Committee are final and binding on the relevant government entity
and cannot be challenged through administrative channels. Employees, however, retain the right to appeal to the
courts.

The Decree states that the Committee “aims to provide employees with the opportunity to appeal final
administrative decisions and actions that affect their legal and employment status, roles, and work conditions,
ensuring fairness, impartiality, job satisfaction, and compliance with public service laws and professional conduct
standards.”

The Decree places strict confidentiality obligations on the Chairman, members, staff, and any experts of the
Committee. These obligations apply to all information, documents, and decisions, and remain in force even after

an individual leaves the Committee.
