UAE labour laws: how to secure part-time work or a second job

Major changes to labour rules this week have opened the door to more employment opportunities, including weekend and evening shifts

Sweeping changes to the UAE's labour laws could pave the way for an army of weekend and evening workers as part-time job opportunities increase.

The biggest overhaul of workplace legislation in decades came into effect on February 2, providing a new layer of flexibility for employees.

It allows for a part-time work model in which it is possible to secure multiple jobs, as long as work hours per week do not exceed 48.

This type of work model would benefit those who want to earn an extra income, especially stay-at-home parents, young people aged 15 to 18 eager to get a foot on the career ladder, and full-time workers who can get approval from their employer to secure additional part-time employment.

The National explains how residents can secure multiple sources of income through some of the new work models.

Part-time workers

Once a person gets a part-time work permit from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, he or she can start working for an employer offering a part-time job.

Residents who wish to work on their own visa without sponsorship or signing a contract with an employer can apply for an independent business permit.

Also included in the list of permits is a temporary work permit, and a “one-mission” permit that allows employers to hire someone from abroad to work on a specific job until its completion or for a fixed period of time.

Many companies have already started posting part-time job adverts online, especially for weekend and evening work.

These work hours help companies expand operations by hiring temporary workers, which cost less than full-time contracts, while residents can secure multiple jobs, boosting their earnings substantially.

For example, a hotel near the Dubai World Trade Centre was looking to hire an events logistics executive to work four hours each day, for pay of Dh250 to Dh350 per hour.

A visa services company was looking for a sales executive to work 6.5 hours on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

The length of contract would depend on the employer.

Karuna Agarwal, director of Future Tense HR in the UAE, said there is good demand for part-time workers, including in the social media, accounts, digital marketing and photography sectors.

“We have ​noticed companies eager to hire part-time ​employees​ especially for a weekend opportunity,” said Ms Agarwal, whose company has more than 100 clients across the country.

“This sort of flexibility in the mindset of the employers ​​brings about great opportunities for the working population to make more money, lead a better lifestyle and fund their hobbies, and for employers this optimises their cost of operation largely.”

The new labour law also allows employees to combine work models. Part-time workers could also work remotely, if approved by their employer.

Full-time workers

Employees with full-time employment contracts can also secure a part-time work permit, after seeking approval from their employer and the ministry.

However, their total hours per week also should not exceed 48.

A standard working day is eight to nine hours per day, which means employees have a few additional hours they can use during the evenings or on weekends for part-time work.

“What it will mean is that people are able to work weekends for a different company,” David Mackenzie, managing director of recruitment firm Mackenzie Jones, said.

“It means you can expand your footprint, your business, on a fixed cost, rather than employing somebody else to do that.

“So, rather than squeeze the person that's working 18 hours a day anyway, you can give them a bit of flexibility.

“Now they have some time out and they recharge, and then you have somebody at the weekend who does that job and gets an additional pay. It’s a very good way of people being very flexible with their workforce.”

For full-time workers who do not get approval for part-time work, there are other legal ways to earn a side income.

These include participating in flea markets, renting out property once a trade license from the economic department is secured, and freelance online work.

How Apple's credit card works

The Apple Card looks different from a traditional credit card — there's no number on the front and the users' name is etched in metal. The card expands the company's digital Apple Pay services, marrying the physical card to a virtual one and integrating both with the iPhone. Its attributes include quick sign-up, elimination of most fees, strong security protections and cash back.

What does it cost?

Apple says there are no fees associated with the card. That means no late fee, no annual fee, no international fee and no over-the-limit fees. It also said it aims to have among the lowest interest rates in the industry. Users must have an iPhone to use the card, which comes at a cost. But they will earn cash back on their purchases — 3 per cent on Apple purchases, 2 per cent on those with the virtual card and 1 per cent with the physical card. Apple says it is the only card to provide those rewards in real time, so that cash earned can be used immediately.

What will the interest rate be?

The card doesn't come out until summer but Apple has said that as of March, the variable annual percentage rate on the card could be anywhere from 13.24 per cent to 24.24 per cent based on creditworthiness. That's in line with the rest of the market, according to analysts

What about security? 

The physical card has no numbers so purchases are made with the embedded chip and the digital version lives in your Apple Wallet on your phone, where it's protected by fingerprints or facial recognition. That means that even if someone steals your phone, they won't be able to use the card to buy things.

Is it easy to use?

Apple says users will be able to sign up for the card in the Wallet app on their iPhone and begin using it almost immediately. It also tracks spending on the phone in a more user-friendly format, eliminating some of the gibberish that fills a traditional credit card statement. Plus it includes some budgeting tools, such as tracking spending and providing estimates of how much interest could be charged on a purchase to help people make an informed decision.

KILLING OF QASSEM SULEIMANI
Farage on Muslim Brotherhood

Nigel Farage told Reform's annual conference that the party will proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood if he becomes Prime Minister.
"We will stop dangerous organisations with links to terrorism operating in our country," he said. "Quite why we've been so gutless about this – both Labour and Conservative – I don't know.
“All across the Middle East, countries have banned and proscribed the Muslim Brotherhood as a dangerous organisation. We will do the very same.”
It is 10 years since a ground-breaking report into the Muslim Brotherhood by Sir John Jenkins.
Among the former diplomat's findings was an assessment that “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” has “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
The prime minister at the time, David Cameron, who commissioned the report, said membership or association with the Muslim Brotherhood was a "possible indicator of extremism" but it would not be banned.

Treaty of Peace in Perpetuity Agreed Upon by the Chiefs of the Arabian Coast on Behalf of Themselves, Their Heirs and Successors Under the Mediation of the Resident of the Persian Gulf, 1853
(This treaty gave the region the name “Trucial States”.)


We, whose seals are hereunto affixed, Sheikh Sultan bin Suggar, Chief of Rassool-Kheimah, Sheikh Saeed bin Tahnoon, Chief of Aboo Dhebbee, Sheikh Saeed bin Buyte, Chief of Debay, Sheikh Hamid bin Rashed, Chief of Ejman, Sheikh Abdoola bin Rashed, Chief of Umm-ool-Keiweyn, having experienced for a series of years the benefits and advantages resulting from a maritime truce contracted amongst ourselves under the mediation of the Resident in the Persian Gulf and renewed from time to time up to the present period, and being fully impressed, therefore, with a sense of evil consequence formerly arising, from the prosecution of our feuds at sea, whereby our subjects and dependants were prevented from carrying on the pearl fishery in security, and were exposed to interruption and molestation when passing on their lawful occasions, accordingly, we, as aforesaid have determined, for ourselves, our heirs and successors, to conclude together a lasting and inviolable peace from this time forth in perpetuity.
