Employment Considerations Across the GCC During Regional Instability

As employees across the GCC consider office attendance, request remote working from abroad, or take unilateral leave decisions, employers face immediate business continuity concerns and potential legal exposure across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously.

To help you navigate the implication of the recent regional tensions, and knowing that one size does not (always) fit all between GCC jurisdictions, Al Tamimi’s regional employment experts covering UAE, KSA, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait have recorded a cross-border podcast to deliver jurisdiction-specific, actionable guidance on:

• Remote working, leave management and consequence management

• Immigration and work-authorisation risks

• Employee safety, evacuation and duty of care

• Payroll continuity, WPS compliance and cybersecurity

• Military call-up

• Constructive dismissal and redundancy
