I would be interested to hear from those working in the Private sector as to how many days are being given for National Day celebrations.

Obviously the Public sector have been given 3 days ( Tues, Wed and Thur)

How many are private sector employees getting? Anyone know of any companies giving 3 days in line with the announcement for the public sector and governments?

We are also in the DIFC and only getting 1 day. I actually rang the Government Services Office and they confirmed that they have been given the 3 days but they dont mandate holidays within the freezone. Its up to the individual businesses to decide what holidays they given following the announcement by the government. As we are part of a bigger organisation that arent in the DIFC we go with what has been mandated by the business. Shame as I thought we could also milk the 3 days as well.

We are also in the DIFC but I need a good case to put to my boss to give three days. DIFC is Government so I am not sure that all private companies based in DIFC are following suit

My company has given 3 days off and I work in the private sector. We're in the DIFC so I suppose that's why as well...

DIFC has also announced 3 days off... so all the private sector companies within this specific free zone will also be getting the 3 days off
