UAE Implements Remote Work for Government Employees Due to Weather Conditions
Due to anticipated adverse weather conditions, the UAE Cabinet has directed that all federal government employees work remotely on Friday, October 27, 2023. This measure is aimed at ensuring the safety and well-being of employees. However, it’s important to note that individuals whose physical presence is necessary at their workplace will be excluded from this directive.
Additionally, the UAE Cabinet has instructed government schools to conduct remote learning on this day, taking into consideration the potential impact of the weather.
In Dubai, a similar decision has been made. All government employees in the city, except those whose roles require them to be on-site, will be working remotely on October 27, 2023.
Furthermore, Abu Dhabi has also implemented remote work arrangements for government entities on the same day. This decision is in line with efforts to safeguard the welfare of employees in light of the expected weather conditions.
In terms of education, schools in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, and the Al Dhafra Region will be conducting classes online on Friday.
Moreover, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) in the UAE has urged private sector companies across the country to adopt flexible work patterns on October 27, considering the prevailing weather conditions.
These measures collectively demonstrate the UAE government’s proactive approach in prioritizing the safety and comfort of its workforce and students.
