هل يحق لفردين بأسرة واحدة الحصول على بدل السكن الحكومي؟

Dear Questioner,

Your employment contract terms must be respected by you and your employer. Also, your employer's internal policy and guidelines that you have accepted by joining their forces.

This means that you have to look for such terms in your employment contract that enable you to benefit from the housing allowance and demand your rights as per such contract!

However, in case your employer's internal regulations regarding housing allowance say clearly that you - as a family - cannot be paid twice for such a benefit even if you work in two different entities you will have to obey.

My recommendation is that you should request a meeting with the HR and ask for a written regulation proof to their email message.

On the other hand, as per the UAE Labor law, the employer has the sole discretion and right to amend the allowances whenever deemed necessary.

I would highly recommend you to seek legal advice before you sit down with the HR.

If you may need any further help please get in touch with me through ae@elnaggarlegal.com
