Was it all a storm in a tea cup, or Ghawa cup?

This time last week we ‘were riders in the storm’ and for many of us, as employees and those of us who are employers, we had to navigate the challenges of attending work on Tuesday and the remainder of the week with business as usual.

 

In the infamous words of David Frost “that was the week that was”!

Its been an age and so much has happened!

Do you know that the storms in the UAE have their own Wiki page?

This time last week we ‘were riders in the storm’ and for many of us, as employees and those of us who are employers, we had to navigate the challenges of attending work on Tuesday and the remainder of the week with business as usual.

I thought it worth to bring to everyone’s attention some fairly critical information that is overlooked by many employers, and employees. 

In such situations as faced recently with inclement weather and the instructions, guidance and notices coming from MOHRE, Dubai Government, etc for applying flexible working patterns or similar, employers have a responsibility for the safety and care of their teams.

I know that this sounds like common sense but as we know, have heard or experienced, not all employers have that! I thought it worth to highlight that this is slightly more than common sense, its actually the law!

Have a read through these slides for more information!
