UAE: Residents can earn additional income with part-time jobs

Employees in the UAE can earn up to Dh10,000 per month by working as part-timers to supplement their income. Recruitment specialists say that most part-time jobs in the UAE offer competitive hourly wages, but the income largely depends on the skills of the employees, industry or the urgency of an employer to recruit the candidate. In addition, part-time roles also help employers easily manage short-term projects, and seasonal demands with a temporary and flexible workforce. Under UAE law, an employee may work for more than one employer after obtaining a permit from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation. Diamond Fares, founder and managing director, On Point Portal, said the earnings potential for part-time jobs in the UAE can vary based on factors such as industry, experience, job responsibilities, and duration. “The rates per hour can range from Dh75 to Dh150 on average, but it depends on the number of hours, job description, part-timer’s experience, etc.,” said Fares. On Point Portal has over 9,000 users and published 1,400 part-time jobs waiters, hostesses, models, event staff, and brand ambassadors, to any job in the hospitality and entertainment field.
