Workers in the UAE who have recently lost their jobs can now submit claims for compensation under the country's Unemployment Insurance Scheme, provided they have been subscribed for at least 12 consecutive months.
According to the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE), eligible workers must file their claim within 30 days of termination through the official website of the Involuntary Loss of Employment Scheme (ILOE) — iloe.ae.
Authorities have emphasised that before submitting a claim, the worker's employer must cancel the employee's work permit, a necessary step for the process.
The Unemployment Insurance Scheme aims to offer financial support to those affected by job loss, helping them manage expenses while they search for new employment opportunities.
The scheme is part of broader labour reforms in the UAE designed to enhance workforce protection and economic resilience. Workers are encouraged to visit the official ILOE platform to review eligibility requirements and the step-by-step claim process.

Iran urges Europe not to back IAEA resolution on nuclear compliance
'Mark my words as Europe ponders another major strategic mistake: Iran will react strongly against any violation of its rights,' says Abbas. PHOTO: AFP Listen to article Iran warned European powers on Friday against backing a draft resolution at the International Atomic Energy Agency next week accusing Tehran of non-compliance, calling it a 'strategic mistake'. 'Instead of engaging in good faith, the E3 is opting for malign action against Iran at the IAEA Board of Governors,' Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on X, referring to Britain, France and Germany. 'Mark my words as Europe ponders another major strategic mistake: Iran will react strongly against any violation of its rights.' The warning from Iran's top diplomat comes as the three European governments prepare to join Washington in backing a censure resolution at next week's board meeting, a diplomatic source told AFP. The resolution would accuse Iran of failing to meet its nuclear obligations and carries the threat of referral to the UN Security Council if Tehran 'does not show goodwill', the source added. Araghchi said Tehran had demonstrated 'years of good cooperation with the IAEA - resulting in a resolution which shut down malign claims of a 'possible military dimension' (PMD) to Iran's peaceful nuclear programme'. 'My country is once again accused of 'non-compliance,'' he added, blaming 'shoddy and politicised reporting'. UN nuclear chief urges 'more transparency' from Iran After years of good cooperation with the IAEA—resulting in a resolution which shut down malign claims of a "possible military dimension" (PMD) to Iran's peaceful nuclear program—my country is once again accused of "non-compliance". Instead of engaging in good faith, the E3 is… — Seyed Abbas Araghchi (@araghchi) June 6, 2025 The criticism follows a quarterly report from the IAEA last week which cited a 'general lack of cooperation' from Iran and raised concerns over undeclared nuclear material. Tehran rejected the report as politically motivated and based on 'forged documents' it said had been provided by its arch foe Israel. The pressure on Iran comes amid indirect talks with the United States, mediated by Oman since April 12, to forge a new nuclear agreement between the longtime foes. The two sides have been publicly at odds over uranium enrichment, the process that produces fuel for nuclear reactors or, in highly extended form, the material for a nuclear warhead. Iran insists it has the right to enrich uranium under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and the issue is 'non-negotiable'. But in a post on his Truth Social network on Monday, President Donald Trump said the United States 'WILL NOT ALLOW ANY ENRICHMENT OF URANIUM' by Iran. Tehran and Washington are seeking a new agreement to replace a 2015 deal with major powers which Trump unilaterally abandoned during his first term in 2018. The agreement quickly unravelled as Trump reimposed sweeping sanctions and Tehran began walking back its own commitments a year later. Iran currently enriches uranium to 60 percent, well above the 3.67 percent cap set by the 2015 deal but below the 90 percent threshold required for a nuclear warhead. Britain, France and Germany, which were all party to the 2015 deal, are considering whether to trigger a 'snapback' of UN sanctions under its dispute resolution mechanism – an option that expires on the deal's 10th anniversary in October.

Pakistan, India bring heavy-hitters to persuade US after conflict
WASHINGTON: Weeks after a military crisis, India and Pakistan have dispatched top lawmakers to press their cases in the United States, where President Donald Trump has shown eagerness for diplomacy between them. After crisscrossing the world, the delegations descended this week at the same time on Washington, which played a key mediatory role in a ceasefire after four days of fighting between the nuclear-armed adversaries in May. In strikingly similar strategies, the rival delegations are both led by veteran politicians who have been critical of their countries' governments and are known for their ease in speaking to Western audiences. Pakistan has embraced an active role for the Trump administration while India, which has close relations with Washington, has been more circumspect and has long refused outside mediation on the flashpoint Himalayan territory of Kashmir. 'Just like the United States and President Trump played a role in encouraging us to achieve this ceasefire, I believe they should play their part in encouraging both sides to engage in a comprehensive dialogue,' said Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the scion of a political dynasty whose Pakistan People's Party says it belongs neither to the governing coalition nor opposition. India laying ground of first nuclear war over water: Bilawal 'I don't quite understand the Indian government's hesitance,' he told AFP. 'I'm the first to criticize the United States for so many reasons, but where they do the right thing, where they do the difficult task of actually achieving a ceasefire, they deserve appreciation.' India's delegation is led by one of its most prominent opposition politicians, Shashi Tharoor, a former senior UN official and writer. He said he was putting the national interest first, despite disagreements domestically with Hindu nationalist Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Tharoor said he heard 'total support and solidarity for India' during his meetings with US lawmakers and a 'complete understanding of India's right to defend itself against terrorism.' 'No equivalence' Gunmen on April 22 massacred 26 tourists on the Indian-administered part of Kashmir, most singled out as Hindus, in the deadliest attack on civilians in decades in the scenic region that has seen a long-running insurgency. Only ceasefire between Pakistan, India represents true victory, says Bilawal India accused Pakistan of backing the assailants and launched strikes on Pakistani territory. More than 70 people were killed in missile, drone and artillery fire on both sides. 'There can be no equivalence between a country sending terrorists and a country having its civilians killed – holiday-makers, tourists, men shot down in front of their wives and children after being asked their religion,' Tharoor told a news conference. He said he was 'puzzled' by those who believe denials of responsibility by Pakistan, pointing to how US forces found Osama bin Laden in the country. Tharoor also noted that former Pakistani president Asif Ali Zardari – Bilawal's father – had advocated peace with India but was in power during the siege of Mumbai on November 26, 2008. 'If they can't control what they're doing to us, why bother to talk to them?' said Tharoor, who pointed to the outsized role of the military in Pakistan. 'A new normal' Trump has repeatedly credited his administration with averting nuclear war and said the United States had negotiated an agreement to hold talks between the two sides at a neutral site, an assertion that met India's silence. Pakistan had cool relations with Trump's predecessor Joe Biden, whose aides bitterly resented Islamabad's role in the Afghanistan war, but Pakistan has quickly worked to woo Trump including with the arrest of a suspect in a deadly 2021 attack that killed more than 170 people, including 13 US troops, during the withdrawal from Kabul. Bilawal – recalling how his mother, former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, was killed in an attack – said Pakistan was ready to discuss terrorism with India but that Kashmir as a 'root cause' also needed to be on the table. He said that India was establishing a dangerous new precedent in South Asia where whenever there is a terrorist attack in any country, 'you go straight to war.' 'I think that the fate of 1.7 billion people and our two great nations should not left in the hands of these nameless, faceless, non-state actors and this new normal that India is trying to impose on the region,' he said. The two delegations have no plans to meet in Washington.

West plans N-resolution against Iran
Western allies are planning to file a resolution to the world nuclear watchdog condemning Iran for "non-compliance" over its nuclear programme, diplomatic sources told AFP on Thursday. It is the latest move in years-long efforts to restrict Iran's nuclear activities over fears that it is seeking to develop nuclear weapons, which it denies. The United States and European countries will submit the resolution to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) board next week, with the threat of referring the issue to the United Nations, the sources said. After a recent IAEA report showed "a general lack of cooperation" by Tehran, the United States, Britain, France and Germany "are tabling a resolution that will find Iran in non-compliance" with its nuclear obligations, a senior diplomatic source said. Recent rounds of talks between the United States and Iran, mediated by Oman, have aimed to secure an agreement on limiting enrichment in exchange for sanctions relief. Two other diplomats confirmed the resolution initiative in comments to AFP, saying it would "increase pressure" on Iran, with a vote scheduled at the IAEA board in Vienna on June 11. Iran rejected last week's IAEA report, calling it a "political" manoeuvre, and accused Israel of contributing "unreliable and misleading information" to it. The moves come with high tensions in the Middle East over Israel's military offensive in Gaza. Iran has denied seeking nuclear arms and says it needs the uranium for civilian power production.
