How does the UAE Labour law sick leave practices in the industries?

If the employees become ill, they call a supervisor or line manager to inform their condition. It is up to the company to send staff to the hospital. Some organizations arrange company transport, and some palace employees should go to see the doctor themselves.

The doctor issues a certificate of sick leave specifying how many days the patient needs to rest. When the employee comes back to work he/she submits the Sick leave certificate to the HR department.

You will take sick leave with full pay for 15 days a year and take half pay for 30 days, and no pay for 90 days. If an employer denies paying in accordance with labour law of UAE you have the right to complain against them to MOHRE.

If a discussion with your employer at the MOHRE (Ministry Of Human Resource and Emiratisation) office is not amicable then the case can arbitrate to the labor court it will take a very long time.

Conclusion: UAE is one of the countries where the labor law has followed much better than other gulf countries. Whether you are sick or not you should know your labor rights and learns how to complain to the labor ministry in this country. Most of the companies accept sick leave UAE and pay according to the labor law, but when the cure goes longer than expected companies want to come out of you.

MoneyGram Nepal: Exchange Rates, Partner Networks, and Payment Options

Although MoneyGram Nepal does not operate independent offices it has partnered with several local remittance companies and banks to ensure recipients can easily receive their funds. This article will explore how MoneyGram Nepal operates and how recipients can access their money.

MoneyGram is a global leader in money transfer and payment services and was established in 1940. Since its inception, has been at the forefront of the money transfer industry worldwide.

I have been involved in the remittance business since 2001, holding agent licenses for almost all major remittance agencies active in the market. The unstoppable growth of cross-border remittance services can be attributed mainly to globalization.

Nepal ranks as the fourth-largest labor-exporting country within the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC), with billions of dollars flowing into the country through global remittance services annually.

The continuous increase in inward remittances has led to the rise of numerous local remittance companies. As of now, the Central Bank of Nepal has approved 24 local remittance companies.

However, these Nepali remittance companies generally lack the financial resources to open overseas offices in every country where people send money to Nepal. Only a few, such as IME, Prabhu, and Himal Remit, have established limited overseas offices.

To extend their services to areas where they lack a presence, many Nepalese remittance companies partner with international remittance organizations, with MoneyGram being a top choice.

It’s not just local remittance companies that have partnered with international entities. Nepal’s commercial banks have also joined hands with MoneyGram.

As you may already know, MoneyGram is a global powerhouse in cross-border money transfers and payment services, supporting over 200 countries.

In Nepal, MoneyGram has partnered with nearly all remittance companies, including IME and Samsara, as well as major commercial banks like Global IME Bank, NIC Asia Bank, Citizen Bank, and many others.

MoneyGram offers quick and efficient services. Once the sender has completed the transaction details, the recipient can withdraw the funds from any part of Nepal within just a few minutes.

The private security industries in Dubai and UAE are no exception from these effects. The clients who have hit under the current circumstances have cut the security personnel on duty. While there are not any business activities it is normal to reduce the security staff.

Only the few security guards have been protecting the companies, for example; where the 20 guards were working now only 5 guards are there.

Security guard companies in Dubai also sending guards for work on relieving, if one guard work today tomorrow he will get them off. When they will not get paid from the client how could pay to the security personnel without working.

  1. Temporarily the new recruitment activities can be slow down.
  2. The security candidates who have been waiting for a visa around the wold experience delay.
  3. The Privates businesses are gradually opening they need the same number of security personnel to run their business to operate without any threat.
  4. The private’s companies need to test the temperature of the visitors, vendors, and employees as well as record the travel histories. The security guard will conduct these types of activities. This work will increase the demand for security personnel rather than lay off.
  5. Although the security companies’ clients reduce the physical security personnel presenting in the site they have not revoked the contract yet.
  6. Despite the companies closed, they need a security guard to protect the properties.
  7. The security companies which are working with government contracts will not lose the contract.
  8. UAE government could hire more temporary security personnel to enforce government guidelines to the public.
  9. By now there is not any security personnel who have lost the job, it is a good signal for the future.
  10. At last, the privates business will recover through the government stimulus packages the security demand in the UAE will bounce back as normal.

Conclusion:  Although there is some uncertainty in the security guard companies in Dubai there is a lot of light over the horizon. The demand for the security staff in the job market in the UAE will remain stable even though other sectors will suffer much.
