UAE New Work Permit Laws for Students over 15
The Ministry of Labour (MoL) will allow students above the age of 15 and people residing in the country on sponsorships of their parents or relatives to seek employment, according to Minister of Labour Dr Ali bin Abdullah Al Ka'abi. "According to the Cabinet decision taken on Sunday, we want to protect labourers' rights and give a chance to workers to work in the country legally. Hence, we will allow students above 15 years to enter the labour market,” Dr Al Ka'abi told Khaleej Times.
The international labour law and human rights charters stipulate that children should not work in heavy duty environment, such as construction sites. The minister said: "Students can take up light jobs such as in cafes, restaurants and hotels during holidays.”
"The government is always keen to abide by the international labour standards and the human rights charters following directives of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and His Highness Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai,” he added.
