On 29 July 2018, the UAE Cabinet passed a Cabinet Resolution No.
43 of 2018 regarding supporting special needs individuals (people
with determination) in the workplace. The resolution aims to assist
people with determination to access equal opportunities in the
labour market, and sets out a framework to ensure their access by
setting out the responsibilities of employers and what it refers to
as 'concerned authorities' in this regard.
The Resolution's Aims
A person with determination is defined as 'any person
with permanent or temporary disability or deficiency totally or
partially in his/ her physical, sensory, mental, communicative,
educational or psychological abilities to the extent that it
reduces the possibility of meeting his/ her normal requirements in
comparison of the circumstances of their peers who are non-disabled
persons.'
