3/23/26, 8:14 AM Mohammed bin Rashid issues Decree on Central Grievances Committee for Dubai Government employees | Emirates News A…
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.

The Chairman, members, staff, and any experts of the

Committee must maintain strict confidentiality of all

information, documents, and decisions, even after leaving

the Committee.

The Decree requires any person holding documents,

papers, or evidence related to a grievance that may not be

disclosed to others to return them to the Central

Grievances Committee for archiving or handling in

accordance with its approved procedures. All related

materials must be preserved and archived in accordance

with applicable regulations to prevent unauthorised

access.
