Emirates staff exempt from UAE unemployment insurance scheme – The National

The UAE's unemployment insurance scheme is not mandatory for Emirates airline employees, staff were told this week.

Dnata employees can also choose whether to sign up to the scheme.

In an email seen by The National, Emirates and Dnata staff were told on Friday that those with permanent contracts were not obliged to join to the scheme. However, they can opt in if they want to.
