In accordance with the new laws and regulations issued by the Ministry of Labour, with effect from
January I"', 201 1, new criteria have beer established for the classification of all companies operating in UAE,
and increasing penalties shall be levied against any company in violation of these criteria.
Further, non-compliance by any company with any of these law? and regulations shall result in downgrading the
violating cornpany to Classification Category (3). In this context, it is to be noted that any downgrade to
Classification Category (3) shall be valid for two full years, which will result in an increase of the labour card
renewal fees from AED 1,500 to 5,000 for every employee under the violating conipany's sponsorship.
Similarly, in the event of any one of the following violations of the new laws and regulations, the violating
Company shall be downgraded to the new Classification Category (3) which shall carly with it increasing
penalties and operational restrictions, which shall drastically impact the violating Company's operations:

penalty of AED 50,000 (Fifty "Thousand) per employee.
2, Non-attestation of any of the Company's subcontract agreements by the Ministry of Labour, which will
result in treating all company's errrployees carrying out the subcontract work as illegal manpower
(please refer to attached subcontract agreenient document and surnmary form which need to be
attested by Ministry of Labour' prior to the start of any related subcontract works). Clearly, the penalty of
AED 50,000 per employee, as in itern (l),shall apply.
