The novel corona-virus has altered the environment of the global labor market. The UAE also could not remain un-impacted. Most of the recruitment activities have been stopped but some sectors still are not finding the talents, so, those positions have become the highest demand jobs in Dubai for 2020.

When the government in the UAE also adopted the lock-down and restrictions methods to contain the covi19’s spread, the cause of that many private’s companies have suffered from huge losses even some are at the critical juncture nearly bankrupt or could not recover near future.

Now let’s talk about which sector of jobs will remain high over the years. Recruitment agencies in the UAE have been seen to have completely collapsed, neither job-seekers nor businesses are active in the job search platform.

To make you believe that they exist, the recruitments firms post jobs on their website on a regular basis, but most of them are old jobs, or some of them might be fake.

There is already good sign in the UAE tech sector, they post the recovery and could be strong for 2020 and so on.

Highest demand jobs in Dubai and UAE

  1. Technically skilled jobs
    • data scientists/analysts
    • project/product managers
    • full-stack developers
    • UI/UX developers and even
    • technology evangelists.

The average salary of the above listed skilled employees is Dh, 17000 to 35,000 depending on the experience, time frame of the project to deliver and company size, etc.

2. eCommerce jobs

    • Designer and developer
    • marketing and customer service roles
    • Logistic and deliver staffs

Mainly eCommerce businesses run the three-section design of a technology platform, mid-stage marketing, and customer support and the last leg is logistics and distribution. These three places are actively active in recruiting staff.

UAE eCommerce companies are hiring spree while other sectors are reducing the employee’s salary or laying off the staff. The top recruitment firms in the UAE have not found people with some special skills in the UAE job market.

3. Finance and sales roles

    •  pharmaceutical,
    • FMCG and
    • education sectors

4.  Healthcare sector

    • Doctors
    • Nurses
    • lab technicians
    • other medical staffs

There is a shortage of medical staff in the private and government hospitals because the rise in the virus outbreak has increased the demand for medical personnel.

Not only the hospital needs medical staff, but also the companies hire nurses to check the virus for the staff when they go to work and go back to work.

Which roles have hit hard?

A company that pays higher salaries such as HR, Administrative, and other management roles, including digital marketing and advertising roles have affected very hard. Hiring the specialist in these positions will slow down by 2021.

What the companies have learned?

Another lesson that the organization has learned from this pandemic is to integrate technology and set up a basic infrastructure that will support employees working from home or remotely in the event of anything like COVID 19 happening.

The companies that had the system allowed workers to work from home, but the companies that did not have the technology and basic infrastructure and did not have skilled personnel could not do much about in the current situation.

How is the highest demand jobs in Dubai filled?

The companies are looking for candidates for the high demand jobs in Dubai locally but there are not sufficient number of candidates, so, they are going to hire from India and the European countries.

income tax in uae 2020, that everyone need to pay.

The United Arab Emirates is a federation of 7 Emirates, each of which has the autonomous power of the local government to impose income taxes or any other taxes. There is no federal income tax in UAE to the public or the businesses on their earnings.

The UAE lost its reputation as a tax-free country when it first introduced VAT (value-added taxes) in 2018. Although the government does not directly tax workers ‘ wages and profits of the organization, it has taxed the individual’s income in a secondary way.

There are two ways the governments dig into the individuals earning and takes a slice as the name of the income taxes.

  1. Primary taxes
    • Primary taxes means that the person who is subject to the taxes pays directly from the income which is possible by pressing the tax office or using the digital payment system. for example; taxes over the profit of the organization and tax on the wages or salary, etc.
  2. secondary taxes
    • The person subject to the tax does not pay directly, but other parties pay on behalf of the first person or the person liable for the tax. for example; VAT (value-added taxes).

Some countries, particularly developed nations’ residents, and organizations pay both taxes and save less, even though they earn more than other countries in the world.

Let’s talk about income tax in the UAE. Before January 2018, whether you work or business, whether you earn high or low, you didn’t have to pay a single cent of your money to the government. How much you would make and go back to your own country with your savings.

It was the main reason many expatriates, especially from the developed country, wanted to come to Dubai or UAE for work, still, the trends have not changed.

Is the UAE income tax-free country?

No, even if you do not pay taxes on your monthly salary or company income, you do pay taxes when you buy products from daily necessities to equipment that is used to operate your business.

In addition, you will pay 5% of government taxes in excess of the usual price of the products. We spend our money on the purchase of goods and services, but any item we buy or service we utilize has to pay 5% VAT.

Either way, some of your money goes to the government. UAE government tax doesn’t directly affect your income, but your spending on goods and services is going to rise, which is going to eat your revenue and long term saving.

What is the provision of vat in UAE?

  • The business needs to register at tax if their taxable supplies and import exceeded the mandatory threshold. AED 37500.
  • The organization need to register as taxes payable organization voluntarily if its supplies and importers fall less than the mandatory threshold but higher than the voluntary threshold of AED 175,000.
  • Any organization’s annual business turnover is less than the voluntary threshold. It should registration within the 20 days by submitting the de-registration application.

Non-VAT applicable goods and services 

  • Exports the goods and services to countries outside the GCC;
  • International transportation, and related supplies;
  • Transportation through the sea or sky.
  • Investment on precious metals (e.g. gold, silver, of 99% purity);
  • Newly built residential buildings, which are first supplied within 3 years of their construction;
  • the provision of certain education services and the supply of the goods and services concerned that
  • procurement of other health care facilities and supply of the products and services involved in it.

VAT in UAE 2020-exemption goods and services 

  • The provision of other financial services
  • Residential properties;
  • Bare land; and Local passenger transport

Conclusion: Individuals or organizations will pay income tax in uae through the secondary way. Although it does not seem that you are paying taxes on your income, you will pay it indirectly through the value-added taxes on the consumption of goods and services.

The replacement model will draw after discussed with the senior government officials. The assemblies of the Kuwaiti Parliament backed the proposal and introduced legislation to abolish all government foreigners who are working for the Kuwaiti government.

The government’s consideration for foreign staff came at the time when the nation is dealing with a very tough job of controlling COVID 19, as the disease has spread steadily every day.

Although Kuwait started discouraging hiring the foreign national in the government department from 2019 it did not work effectively because of a lack of enforcement mechanism. There is a 26% higher government position have occupied by foreigners.

Nordvpn is a widely used VPN app in the world and the Middle East, including the United Arab Emirates. Generally, people use the VPN in the gulf countries to access the restricted websites and purchases the items which are not locally available. Today in this post I would like to make you clear on this issue “is Nordvpn legal in the UAE?”

How does Nordvpn work in UAE?

  1. When you access internet services with Nordvpn it routes your internet traffic through a remote server and hides your Ip address.
  2. It encrypts all incoming and outgoing data.
  3. NordVPN uses the technologies OpenVPN and Internet Key Exchange v2 / IPsec in its applications.

How can you use the Nordvpn?

  • You can use it on android and ISO devices.
  • Linux, and macOS, Windows desktop applications available.
  • If you are using google chrome or Firefox browsers can use its extension.

 Is Nordvpn legal in UAE?

Before I give you the answer “Yes” or “No” let me the explaining here what is the UAE law has stated. The UAE government passed a cybercrime regulation in 2012, there are many restrictions that have been imposed on the internet to protect the country from the information technology crime.

However, the amended federal law No 12, 2016 has made clear that residents of UAE and business using the VPN to go online is a crime. Articles 1, cybercrime law 2016 has defined the punishment as following;

  • Any person who bypasses the Internet protocol address by using a delusive address for the purpose of committing or preventing the discovery of a crime shall be punished by imprisonment or
  • fine, not less than (AED 150.000) and not more than (AED 500.000) or any of these penalties.
  • Anyone who did the crime by using the VPN punishment will increase from the primary ranges and The new fine will be  AED500,000 AED2,000,000.

The cybercrime law in the UAE is very strict and does not allow individuals and businesses to connect VPN to their network, but, the banks, financial institutions, and the other organization use the VPN to secure their privacy. The Etisalat and Du also allow the organization to integrate the VPN devices in the local connection.

Not only the organizations but also the UAE residents who use the VPN, the number is enormous. Although the number of VPN users in the country is high, no action has been taken unless they fall into the crime.

You might already get my answer to your question of whether Nordvpn is legal or illegal in the UAE.

The cybercrime law has not granted any special privileges to the Nordvpn and it users but you can use it without manipulating the VPN services for malicious activities.

Is nordvpn legal in uae?

  • Using the Nordvpn for legitimate purposes, would not constitute a crime
  • manipulating internet protocols with the intent to commit any fraud or crime is illegal
  • Accessing the nefarious content likely to damage the community eg. recruitment videos for terrorist groups will bring severe consequences.
  •  accessing foreign TV series that are not yet available in the UAE eg. the latest series of Game of Thrones is aslo punishable.
  • Using the VPN for calling apps such as Skype, Viber, and others apps will not stipulate cybercrime. Although the law has not mentioned these activities can tolerate.

The UAE labor law has explained the compensation for occupational injuries in chapter 8, articles 142 to 153. It has clearly stated all forth going procedure when the worker gets sustain injuries or occupational diseases.

After reading these chapters of  UAE lobour law I would like to explain some of the important points that every employee should remember or understand what will happen when they expose risk and or danger in the workplace.

The process of compensation for occupation injuries.

  1. If any employee injures or infected from the occupational disease or injured the employer or representative should immediately inform the police or labor department or the local office jurisdiction where the organization has located.
  2. The information should include the name of the worker, age, nationality, occupation, address, types of the accident, and first aid or medical treatment that have provided.
  3. upon receiving the report the police will carry out the investigation, they can take the statement of the employer, witnesses, and the injured person (if applicable). The police report will be sent to the labor department and a copy for the employer. Police officers will conclude whether the incident was deliberately or employees’ misconduct such as employees had drunk alcohol or other narcotic drugs on duty.
  4. The labor department can request the supplementary inquiry or may conduct one if needed.
  5. If the employee is hospitalized and he or she could not go to the bank the company should pay a full salary in cash if they have injured in the workplace. The employees will get full pay until 6 months and half-pay until it recovery, disabled, or die.
  6. The company has to pay for all the treatment expenses whether in private or government hospitals including surgical operations, x-ray, and medical diagnoses.
  7. The company also needs to cover all the expenses including the purchase of drugs and rehabilitation equipment, in addition, artificial limbs and other prosthetic appliances if anyone needed cause of the injury.
  8. The employer should pay the transportation expenses or arrange own transport for sending him or her to the hospital for further check-up.
  9.  The cash allowances should equal to the employee’s basic salary.

What will happen if the employee permanently disabled?

  1. The doctor sends a report for the employer and employee on the completion of the treatment. The report may specify the nature of the injury, a period of treatment, the next follow up date, and the result of cured, partial, or permanent disability.
  2. If the worker died cause of the workplace accident or occupation diseases the member family will entitle the compensation equal to the basic salary of 24 months. For example; the worker last receives a basic salary was AED 1000 the compensation will calculate 1000× 24 months = AED 24,000. However, there is a limitation the compensation should not pay less than 18 months, and the amount not more than AED 35,0000.

Who will receive the compensation amount? 

The following members of the disease family wholly or substantially dependent on the dead worker’s income at the time of his death.

  1.  Widows
  2. Children
  3. The son who is under the age of 17 but if he is enrolled in educational instruction under the age of 24 is entitled to receive the compensation.  “Son” also refer to the son in law of the husband and wife if they are dependent on the income of the deceased worker.
  4. An unmarried daughter or unmarried daughter in law of both husband or wife also entitled to the compensation claim.

When the person is partially or completely disabled, what is the compensation?

  1. If the worker renders the permanently partial disable cause of the work-related injury or occupational diseases he will entitle the compensation as applicable rate depending on the severity.
  2. The worker who permanently totally disabled the cause of the workplace accident or disease will entitle the compensation equal to the deceased worker. The compensation rate of the totally disabled and dead worker is equal.

Compensation does not entitle in the following condition;

The employer no need to pay compensation to the employee who got partial or totally disable but did not result in death.

  1. Injury for the purpose of suicide, or compensation or sick leave.
  2. At the time of the occurrence, he was under the influence of a narcotic drug or alcohol.
  3. Intentionally violated the safety instructions posted at conspicuous positions in the workplace.
  4. He refused for no good reason to submit to a medical examination or

Under these above circumstances, the employer does not require to provide treatment for the worker or to pay him any cash allowance.
