Mohammed Bin Rashid orders advance salaries for federal government employees

Under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, the salaries of federal government employees will be disbursed on Monday (April 17).

The directive has been issued on the occasion of the upcoming Eid Al Fitr, reflecting His Highness's commitment to facilitating federal government employees in meeting the needs of their families and ensuring that they have all the necessary resources and arrangements for the holiday.

The first day of Eid Al Fitr is expected to fall on Friday (April 21), in most Islamic countries, according to the International Astronomical Centre.

The centre said the crescent of the Shawwal moon is likely to be seen on Thursday (April 20), corresponding to 29 Ramadan.

The UAE moon-sighting committee will convene to confirm the official starting date for Eid.
