Dubai Government Approves AED 277 Million Bonus for Civilian Employees

Dubai continues to reward excellence in government service, as H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, announced a performance bonus for civilian employees. On Friday, March 21, Sheikh Hamdan shared that H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, approved a generous AED 277 million bonus for government workers.

Recognizing Dedication and Commitment

The leadership emphasized the invaluable contributions of civilian employees, recognizing their role in shaping Dubai’s success. Sheikh Hamdan stated, “Your dedication and commitment have been key to Dubai’s success, constantly raising excellence in government service.” He further expressed confidence that with continued efforts, Dubai would maintain its upward trajectory on the global stage.

A Tradition of Rewarding Excellence

This is not the first time the Dubai Government has demonstrated its appreciation through significant bonuses. In 2023, a total of AED 152 million was allocated as performance bonuses for civilian employees, highlighting an ongoing commitment to incentivizing and rewarding government workers.

Expecting More Bonuses in 2025

Recent surveys suggest that bonuses will continue to be a trend in the UAE workforce. A study released last month found that approximately 75% of UAE residents anticipate receiving a bonus in 2025. Employees in high-growth sectors such as technology, banking, healthcare, and consultancy have already seen significant payouts in 2024, with some bonuses reaching up to six months’ salary in certain roles.

As Dubai reinforces its position as a global leader in governance and economic growth, initiatives like these performance bonuses reflect the emirate’s dedication to excellence and employee satisfaction.
