Greetings,

According to UAE law, Emiratis who are on national service are entitled to receive a salary from the UAE armed forces. This salary is usually 50% of their basic salary, and it is paid to them on a monthly basis.

If an Emirati is not receiving their salary from the UAE armed forces, they can file a complaint with the Ministry of Defense or the National Service and Reserve Authority.

The complaint should include all relevant details, such as the individual's name, rank, and service number, as well as the reason for not receiving their salary.

The Ministry of Defense or the National Service and Reserve Authority will then investigate the complaint and take appropriate action to ensure that the individual receives their entitled salary.

If the issue is not resolved through the Ministry of Defense or the National Service and Reserve Authority, the individual can file a complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization.

The Ministry will then investigate the matter and take necessary steps to ensure that the individual receives their salary.

It is important to note that the UAE armed forces have a duty to pay their employees on time and in full, and failure to do so is a violation of UAE labor laws.

Therefore, if an individual is not receiving their salary, they have the right to file a complaint and seek legal action if necessary.
