If you work in the private sector, you should have received your salary latest by today, 1st of June. That's under the updated wage protection rules from Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation. It's removed a 15-day grace period, a buffer you might say for employers. For employees, that offers clarity and certainty, but for some SMEs, the issue is timing.

The UAE is advising citizens not to travel to Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan unless necessary, following Ebola-related health developments in the region. We get the latest information about Ebola virus with global health specialist Dr Margaret Harris.

The Emirates is lowering the age of legal adulthood from 21 to 18. What does it actually mean in practice, and what rights and responsibilities will now apply from the age of 18?

Jewellers are seeing growing demand for what some are calling “self-engagement” or “commitment-to-self” rings.

And can mosquitoes become attracted to insect repellant?
