His Majesty The Human Resources Department must find employment for every workable citizen between the ages of 18 and 60, according to Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah. The department erred by applying the Social Security Fund law His Highness issued in 2018 and stopped hiring those over 30 years old.
His Highness added: «The law makes it clear that every good individual must be employed, and the age of the insured is not less than 18 years and not more than 60 years, and no specific period of employment has been specified, but in fact this law was interpreted wrongly, and was not applied in the manner intended by the law, as the Human Resources Department worked hard, and stopped hiring those over 30 years old, although the law did not mention this matter ».
His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah said, in a telephone interview on the “Direct Line”program broadcast on Sharjah Radio and Television, and presented by the media, Mohammed Hassan Khalaf, Director General of the Sharjah Radio and Television Authority: “I am listening to the caller to the program (Umm Saeed) from the city of Kalba, and she is wondering how he has progressed since 2008? We see that the Social Security Law directs human resources, and I issued this law in 2018 regarding social security for the Emirate of Sharjah.
Employment applications
His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah explained: “We also have a problem with a large number of employment requests, because our salaries are high, and we work only 4 days a week, as well as maternity leave, annual leave of 60 days, as well as a decent living arrangement, and a university graduate in Sharjah receives a monthly salary of 25 thousand dirhams and a grant house, and other attractive factors for the employee.
