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.
