It will also see pensions of government employees increase “significantly”, with payments to be calculated on almost 80 percent of gross salary.
It said: “The new salary scale aims to increase retirement pensions, ensure parity across government entities and improve performance. Employees’ gross salaries will not be affected.”
Furthermore, new motivating incentives are to be introduced to attract and reward outstanding talent in government entities, to “improve performance in order to achieve excellence”.
All incremental costs will be met by the government.
The resolutions will take effect as of January 1, 2020, and will apply to employees across all civil government entities in Abu Dhabi.
