Financial institutions and exchange houses which are under Central Bank supervision should follow guidelines that state only 30 % of those working in critical positions are required to work from the office. The UAE Central Bank of the UAE and UAE Banks Federation (UBF) has said this is in line with efforts to prevent the spread of coronavirus and protect the health and safety of banks’ and financial institution’s employees and customers. Remote working policies should prioritise certain categories of worker including, pregnant women, mothers of children in G-9 and below with duties that do not necessitate physical presence at the workplaces, employees with respiratory problems and weak immune system, or aged 60 and above.
