DUBAI — Expatriate employees in various government departments in Dubai are still waiting to receive the 15 per cent hike in their salaries, almost three months after an announcement to this effect was made by the Dubai government in May last. The raise for local government employees was announced by all the emirates following a similar announcement in Abu Dhabi, which took effect on May 1, 2005. Sources confirmed that all local departments in the other emirates have effected the raise both for its nationals and expatriate employees.While the expat government employees in other emirates may have received the 15%, from what I have heard there remains inclarity about just who is considered a government employee, especially in the education sector.

I know that the university employees here (UAEU) haven't gotten the raise, but we consistently hear rumors that we will.
I work for the government in Dubai and the expats certainly have not received any salary hike. Locals did receive their part in May which was even post dated from the beginning of the year.
Rumours are though that packages for both locals and expats are reinvestigated and the new changes will take effect starting Jan next year.
