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 the responsibilities of 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.

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. The Chairman of the Committee will issue internal decisions on the
disposal of grievance related documents.

This Decree annuls Executive Council Resolution No. (41) of 2015 on the Central Grievances
Committee for Employees of the Government of Dubai.
