Employees

7 days ago

DUBAI, (Pakistan Point News - 16th Mar, 2026) In his capacity as the Ruler of Dubai, His
Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister,
issued Decree No. (5) of 2026 on the Central Grievances Committee
for Dubai Government employees.

The Decree aims to strengthen justice, transparency, and good governance
in Dubai’s government, while promoting job security and encouraging employee performance
and innovation.

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 establishes the Grievance Adjudication Committee to review appeals submitted
to the Central Grievances Committee. It includes a Chairman, Deputy Chair, and members
with legal and HR expertise, appointed by the Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai.

The Committee must include representatives from the General Secretariat of The Executive
Council, the Supreme Legislative Committee, and the Dubai Government HR Department.
The Decree also defines the mandates, duties, and responsibilities of the Grievance
Adjudication Committee, its chairman and members.

Employees may submit grievances within 14 working days from receiving written notice of the
Committee’s decision, or after the Committee’s decision deadline. Late submissions are
allowed only with a valid excuse.

Grievances may be submitted to the Central Grievances Committee on grounds such as lack
of jurisdiction, violation or misapplication of the law, failure to follow essential procedures,
abuse of authority, decisions against the public interest, excessive discipline, or actions taken
without a valid reason.

The Decree outlines the grievance submission process and the reasons a grievance may be
rejected, including: if it falls outside the Grievance Adjudication Committee’s jurisdiction, if it is
submitted after the deadline, if the matter has already been decided by the Committee or the
courts, or if the employee does not have the right or legitimate interest to file the grievance.

All decisions of the Grievance Adjudication Committee are final and binding on
the government entity, and cannot be challenged administratively, though employees may still
appeal to the courts.
