The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) has outlined a gradual enforcement approach under the Wage Protection System. Employers will receive notifications about delayed wages before administrative measures are applied. The decision gives establishments an opportunity to correct their status and address late payments, aiming to resolve violations early while protecting workers' rights and supporting business continuity.
