تطبيق القرار رقم 279 لسنة 2020 في شأن شركات المنطقة الحرة

رمضان كريم،

لقد كان زوجي يعمل لدى إحدى شركات المنطقة الحرة في دبي وقد تم فصله عن العمل بسبب العمالة الزائدة بعد قضاء فترة إشعار مدتها 90 يومًا. ونتيجة للوباء الحالي، من الصعب السفر بسبب توقف الرحلات الجوية. كما لا يمكنه العثور على وظيفة أخرى.

سؤالي هو؛ هل القرار الوزاري رقم 279 لسنة 2020 ينطبق على شركات المنطقة الحرة في دبي وهل الشركة مسؤولة عن سداد التكاليف الصحية حتى بعد إنهاء عقد العمل؟

Ramadan Kareem to you too!

In and of itself, Ministerial Resolution 279 of 2020 ("Resolution") may not apply to free zones. The Resolution's language states that it applies to companies under the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation ("MOHRE").

However, certain free zones have made themselves subject to any regulations issued by, or for, the MOHRE.

Alternatively, other free zones have issued decisions either adopting the Resolution or with similar implications to it. It may be worthwhile checking with DAFZA to inquire about the same.

If you require any assistance moving forward, you can contact my firm via email.

Ramadan Kareem!

Thanks for your question!

I would request you to check with DAFZA authority about your issues related to HRA as Freezone companies are not governed by MOHRE.

Thanks!
