oh boy...

 

[JohnLocke]

It's not a big deal if you ask me since it is not every company‌ but every business employing between 20 and 49 people! I assume for most around here‍ this does not apply!

 

[M4S]

yes exactly correct, unless they keep⁠ pushing it down it shouldn't apply to most here.

 

[luap]

Either that, or they will just pay the penalty and treat it as a cost‌ of doing business.

 

[myhand]

depends on the penalty. But it could‍ well be possible to find good employees in the UAE for usual IT work.
