The Federal Authority for Government Human Resources (FAHR) has announced that, in coordination with the Office of the Prime Minister, five new types of contract and employment systems will be introduced as part of indicators in calculating the percentage of Emiratization in 45 federal entities, which include 18 ministries and 37 independent authorities, stressing that the only data source will be the Human Resource Management Information System «BAYANATI» run by FAHR.
The newly introduced job categories include all types of special and outsourced contracts for natural persons performing functions at a federal entity, in addition to contracts of experts and consultants, and part-time or temporary jobs. These diverse job categories were included as part of calculating Emiratization rates achieved in each federal entity, starting from the year 2014.
FAHR has issued a circular emphasizing that Emiratization indicators apply to all government agencies, i.e. ministries and independent authorities without exception, and urging ministries and independent authorities to enter all data concerning employees, nationals and expatriates, appointed on the aforementioned job categories, into BAYANATI System.
The circular also requested inclusion of all data of support workers, who will not be considered for Emiratization purposes, such as drivers, guards, messengers, etc.
Mariam Al Abbar, Executive Director of Programs & Human Resource Planning, at the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources, said: “The circular issued by FAHR requires all federal entities to enter their employees’ data into BAYANATI System, in order for these entities to calculate the Emiratization percentages accurately.
“In the past, some jobs were not counted within Emiratization indicators, or entered into BAYANATI System, but now the case is different, because we want this data to be documented to help guide Emiratization plans, and cover all federal bodies and different sectors and job categories in a comprehensive manner”.
