UAE gov't staff to receive wages before Eid
Rulers of the UAE's seven emirates ordered payment of salaries to all public sector employees for the current month to take place before the Eid Al Fitr holiday, which is likely to fall on August 19 or 20, reported official state news agency WAM.
Salaries will be transferred to banks by Monday, August 13, said Director General of Dubai Finance Department Abdul Rahman Al Saleh.
Eid, which takes place at the end of the Ramadan, is one of the most important holidays in the Islamic calendar and Muslim families often spend more as a result.
