The move follows the endeavour of the government to lay down a clear and effective standard in management of the Government Human Resources and develop, explain duties and rights of employees in the Federal Government.

He added that these amendments stem from the UAE Vision 2012 and the directives of government to update the laws to keep pace with the rapid dynamic development of the UAE in all fields.

Al Qattami said at a press conference today that the bylaws were comprehensive regarding all provisions of the human resources law, adding that the move would ease reference for the ministries and public agencies. Therefore, he continued, the previous executive rules will be null and void once the new executive rules come into effect.
