The Ministry of Labour has clarified that companies with more than 100 employees must have UAE nationals as their representatives, Arabic newspapers reported on Sunday.

The ministry rejected a firm's request for new work permits as it did not have an Emirati representative, reported 'Al Khaleej', 'Al Bayan' and 'Al Ittihad' dailies.

Humaid bin Dimas Al Suwaidi, Undersecretary at the Labour Ministry, said at the weekly labour meeting that only after larger companies register Emirati representatives with the ministry will any transaction of the firms be undertaken.
