HH Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, has directed the Sharjah Directorate of Human Resources to find jobs for all applicants of UAE citizens aged 18 to 60, following the department’s misapplication of the law issued by His Highness in 2018.

In 2018, HH Sheikh Sultan issued a law stating that the Sharjah Directorate of Human Resources must find jobs for each eligible Emirati citizen between the ages of 18 and 60.

His Highness clarified that this law “has been misinterpreted and has not been applied in the manner intended by the law” WAM reported

I issued this law in 2018, and it makes it clear that each eligible person between the ages of 18 and 60 should be employed; no specific period of employment has been stated. However, in practice, this law has been misinterpreted and has not been applied in the manner intended by the law; the Human Resources Directorate has stopped hiring those over the age of 30

HH Sheikh Dr. Sultan Al Qasimi said.

Sharjah has a 4-day work week, and citizens in the workforce have many benefits including fair maternity leave, a yearly leave of 60 days, a fair standard of living, high salaries, housing allowance and more. “We also face the problem of ‘a lot of job applications,’ because our income is good” He added.

The employment process for the Sharjah Police and Civil Defence, universities and other institutions is ongoing.
