Top up eligibility
Staff may request to upgrade their accommodation and pay an additional top up fee to
have enhanced provisions e.g their own bedroom or their own apartment. Approval of
requests will depend on current accommodation availability and the waitlist criteria.
Facilities Management can advise current topup fees applicable to each grade. Please
refer to change of accommodation section (point 15.b).
1.4
Dependant eligibility
Staff staying in unfurnished accommodation (studio, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom) can have
their immediate family and maid reside with them. Dependents must be directly
sponsored by staff. There are regulations relating to the number of dependants that can
share a property, these are outlined below:
Apartment Type
Studio
One bedroom
Two bedroom
Maximum additional dependents

Page 5 of 40

HANDBOOK
Staff must notify the company of any dependants that they want to reside with them.
Dependents will need to complete a Check In Register Form (Appendix 3). This form is
available from the security office and on groupworld. The completed form must be
submitted to the security office, along with a copy of the dependents passport visa.
Staff sharing CPA with family members who are also employed by the company, will
not receive their Accommodation Allowance (AA).
SG.06 staff who want family to reside with them, will be placed on the waitlist for an
unfurnished studio and will be treated the same as EK.06/SE.06 staff for the purpose of
accommodation allocation.
2.
UTILITIES
The company will pay the cost of all reasonable utilities in furnished and unfurnished
units including water, electricity, gas, sewerage and municipality tax.
The company has an ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility, staff can
support our environmental performance by conserving electricity and water. Section 7
of House Rules (Appendix 1) has further information on measures to reduce
consumption, which will save money and help preserve the environment.
The company reserves the right to charge staff in cases of excessive bills which could
be attributed to misuse.
3.
ALLOCATION OF SHARED ACCOMMODATION

The allocation of staff to shared accommodation takes into account a variety of criteria
such as:
Gender (staff are only permitted to share accommodation with other staff of the
same gender)
Seniority
Nationality
Religion
Waitlist
Age
When allocating shared accommodation Facilities Management will first identify vacant
bedrooms ready for allocation. After allocation of the vacant bedroom, the existing
occupants of the apartment will be notified.
Whilst every effort is made to ensure that the above criteria are met in allocating staff to
shared accommodation, there will be cases where some or all of the criteria cannot be
met (with the exception of gender). In such cases, staff will be required to share
accommodation with whoever the company instructs. These staff will be given priority
when an alternative unit is available. In this case the reallocation request will be
accepted with an administration charge of AED 300 payable per person.
Page 6 of 40

HANDBOOK
Allocation of staff to shared accommodation is at the discretion of the company.

Requests for reallocation which do not meet company agreed personal move reasons,
can only be considered as an exception and is not guaranteed. Company requirement
will take priority over such requests e.g availability of accommodation and time
constraints. Further information relating to requests for personal moves is outlined in
section 15.
4.
USE OF ACCOMMODATION
The company is the tenant, and staff are the occupant of CPA. CPA is solely for
residential use and staff are not permitted to use the accommodation for any kind of
business, commercial or trading purposes.
Staff who take CPA are not allowed to sublet, in whole or in part, any of the
accommodation provided to them. This includes allowing any person not sponsored by
the employee to use any part of the accommodation in exchange for services, money
or otherwise. Please note that only family members who have been pre notified and
approved by the company are permitted to reside in CPA.
Failure to adhere to the above could result in disciplinary action up to and including
termination of employment.
Staff are not permitted to make any alteration to the accommodation without first
obtaining written permission of Facilities Management, who in turn will obtain
permission from the landlord. Staff who make alterations to the accommodation unit
without written permission of the company, will be required to reinstate the property at
their own expense at the time of vacating. In cases where the company and the
landlord have approved alterations, the cost will be paid by the member of staff who
requested permission to make the alteration. Staff will be required to reinstate the
alteration at the time of vacating the unit after liaising with Facilities Management.
5.
UNAUTHORISED MOVES
Staff who move/change accommodation without the written approval of Facilities
Management will be disciplined in accordance with disciplinary policy. This also applies
to private swapping of apartments. A fine of AED 500 will be imposed to cover the
costs incurred by the company. This will be deducted from the employees salary
account. Staff will also be required to move back to their original property.
6.
FLATMATE ARRIVAL NOTICE

Once one of the occupants of a shared apartment checks out, the company will start
the process to move a new member of staff to the vacant bedroom or bed space. When
a new flatmate has been found, the other occupants will be sent a Notification of
Assessment Form (Appendix 4).
Page 7 of 40

HANDBOOK
On receiving this notification staff must ensure:
The overall appearance and cleanliness of the apartment is to the company

standard.
Keys are not left in the main door of the apartment in order for the new occupant to
have access on the date of their arrival.
Personal belongings are not occupying the vacant slot.
One of the shelves in the refrigerator is cleared and that the fridge is in a clean
condition.
A space is provided in the kitchen for the new occupant to store their items.
In the event that a complaint is received from the new member of staff for failure to
comply with the above, an assessment will be carried out and if required, cleaning, will
be arranged by Facilities Management. A charge of AED 150 will be deducted from
each of the existing occupant(s) if cleaning is needed.
Please note that the new flatmate may arrive during the night.
7.
FURNISHED UNITS
The company furnishes and maintains the accommodation unit. The furnishing/items
provided in the apartment are divided into two main sections:
a. Company furniture/furnishings

Page 8 of 40

HANDBOOK
Refurbishment and replacement of company provided furniture

Staff are responsible for taking care of the companys furniture. Any loss or
damage to company provided items will be charged to staff at current
replacement value.
The company is responsible for maintaining the kitchen appliances and air
conditioning in furnished units. In cases of negligence, the occupants of the
apartment may be debited equally for the damage caused, unless a single
occupant accepts responsibility for the damage.
The company will clean soft furnishings (curtains and upholstery) if required
prior to an apartment being occupied and thereafter on a 36-month cycle
(subject to continuous occupancy). The table below outlines arrangements for
replacement of items.
Furniture Type
Replacement of soft
furniture
Replacement of hard
furniture
Replacement of
appliances
b.
Action
After a period of 6 years, the company will consider
replacing soft furnishings and re upholstering the
apartment furniture. The company will not decorate or
replace other furnishings whilst the accommodation is
occupied by the same occupant/s.
Hard furniture has a minimum life expectancy of 10 years.
During the life of an item of hard furniture, the company
will be responsible for repairing, maintaining and re
polishing the furniture. Generally, furniture will be re
polished if required, when an apartment is fully vacant.
Appliances (washing machine, refrigerator, cooker, kettle,
toaster & iron) are replaced if required based on the report
received from the company authorised contractor.
Starter pack (Individual/Shared)

The company provides each new member of staff checking into shared CPA with a
starter pack. Two types of starter pack are provided, details of which are provided
bellow:
Individual starter pack

This is provided to each staff member. It contains basic crockery, cutlery,
glassware, kitchen items and linen to enable staff to establish themselves.
Please refer to Appendix 5 for a list of these items. The starter pack is a onetime issue. Any missing or broken items will be replaced, please notify the
security office of any issues. No items will be replaced if notification is given
after one week.
This individual starter pack becomes the property of staff after they have
completed 12 months employment. Should staff leave the company before
completing 12 months service, the company will charge the staff the pro-rata
value of the starter pack. The starter pack will not be accepted back in lieu of
this charge, even if some of the items have not been utilised.
Page 9 of 40

HANDBOOK
Shared common pack

Staff who reside in shared accommodation are provided with a joint starter
pack (one pack per apartment). Appendix 6 has a list of items provided. This
pack belongs to the company and is provided for shared use by the occupants
in shared accommodation. When staff move into their shared accommodation
they should check the items to ensure they are present and in good condition.
If any items are missing or broken they should notify the security office.
8.
UNFURNISHED UNITS FURNITURE ALLOWANCE

Staff in grades (EK.06, EK.07, EK.08, SE.06, SE.07) residing in Al Quoz unfurnished
CPA are eligible to apply for a once off Furnishing Allowance (FA). This allowance is
equivalent to the value of two months AA. Staff who are married to another Emirates
Group employee, are only eligible to apply for one FA, they cannot both apply for this
allowance.
The FA will be written off over a 4 year period. When staff receive the allowance they
will be required to sign an undertaking to repay the un-written off portion of the
allowance should they leave the company for any reason before the allowance has
been fully written off. The amount to be repaid to the company will be calculated on a
pro rata daily basis. The amount due will be debited from staffs end of service benefit
(EOSB). The company will not accept staff furniture in lieu of a cash repayment.
Staff who are eligible for furnished accommodation but personally request to move to
an unfurnished apartment (studio, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom), cannot apply for this FA.
Please note this is a once off allowance, a subsequent FA allowance will not be
provided to promoted staff (unless it is a promotion to EK.09 or equivalent).
9.
UNIT ASSESSMENT, MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION

The company reserves the right to access an apartment at all reasonable hours, upon
at least 24 hours notice. The following scenarios are examples of when Facilities
Operations, the Maintenance Department or EK Group Security Department may need
to enter an apartment:
To carry out an assessment of a recent checked out bed space/bedroom in order to

prepare it for the new arrival(s).
To carry out maintenance related jobs either identified by routine inspection or for
issues logged by staff.
To carry out the routine maintenance, assessment and inspection of equipment

such as air-conditioning, fire alarms and fire fighting systems.
In the event of an emergency such as a fire, gas leak, damaged/blocked pipes,

flooding, electrical failure etc the company reserves the right to enter a property without
prior notice and at any hour of the day or night. The company can also access the
property without prior notice if a complaint is received about misuse of the property or
standard of cleanliness.
Page 10 of 40

HANDBOOK
All maintenance complaints related to an apartment, company provided furniture/

appliances, cleaning and pest control must be logged by the occupant in the
Complaints Register, or on a Maintenance Work Request Form. These are available at
the security office. Work will not be carried out unless these are completed.
If occupants are absent, an Access Notification will be left in the common area of the
apartment, notifying them of the work that was carried out. An example of this
notification letter is provided in Appendix 7.
In cases where the company needs to prepare the unit for a new arrival, and the
occupants fail to provide access without a valid reason, the company reserves the right
to charge staff for the number of days which the access was not provided (to
compensate for the delay this causes in preparations).
10.
CHECK IN PROCESS AND ADDRESS UPDATE

Overseas staff joining the company, will be met on arrival at the airport and taken to the
accommodation by the meet and greet officer.
All staff moving into Al Quoz CPA will be required to go through check in formalities at
the security office. Staff will need to complete a check in form, which requires personal
details, dependent details (if applicable) and a signature to confirm receipt of keys.
Upon receipt of the confirmed check in date, Facilities Management will update the
employees address details in the company system.
11.
KEYS
Upon check in staff will be issued with a set of apartment keys containing the main door
key, bedroom key and wardrobe key. These are for personal use and should not be
duplicated or handed out to non-residents.
The Emirates security department has a duplicate set of keys for all apartments. These
keys are available on a 24 hour basis for use in emergency.
The keys to the accommodation units are company property. Staff vacating CPA are
required to give them back to building security as part of the check out formalities.
Failure to do so will result in a charge to cover the cost of lock replacement.
Replacement of lock cylinders and installation of additional locks in CPA without the
permission and knowledge of Facilities Management is against company policy and is
subject to disciplinary action.
For security and emergency purposes residents are advised not to leave the keys in
the main door cylinder lock as this may delay security and maintenance staff in
accessing the apartment in the event of an emergency or for maintenance checks. It
may also delay new occupants being able to access the apartment.
Page 11 of 40

HANDBOOK
12.
LOSS OF KEY
Staff are responsible for the safekeeping of apartment keys. The company will not
accept responsibility of any loss or damage to keys.
Staff who misplace/lose the keys must:
Advise the security office of the loss, and provide adequate identification for issue
of duplicate key(s).
Sign the form for issue of duplicate key(s), which will also authorise the company to
debit the charges of issuing a duplicate key(s) from the employees salary account.
Please note that should staff find their original keys following a lock being changed, the
company cannot consider reversal of charges.
Only the occupant is authorised to collect new key(s). The key will not be issued to any
messengers or other intermediaries.
In the event of any breach of security, the company reserves the right to change the
door locks of any apartment without prior notification to the occupant.
13.
TELEPHONE/INTERNET
To avoid disputes, staff in shared accommodation are requested not to install a fixed
landline. Staff should obtain their own personal cell phone. In terms of cell phone
reception at Al Quoz, du reception provides a better signal and is clearer than Etisalat.
SIM cards for du can be purchased from du mobile phone shops and supermarkets.
Staff provided with an apartment on a non sharing basis can avail of a fixed land line
telephone. Please note that internet is not provided by the company, occupants are
required to arrange it themselves.
14.
INSURANCE AND PROTECTION OF PROPERTY

Staff are responsible for insuring their personal effects in CPA. The company does not
insure personal effects and will not be held liable for the loss or damage, irrespective of
how it occurred.
Damages to company assets/landlord provided fittings caused by negligence are
chargeable to the employee. Staff may therefore wish to take out insurance for
accidental damage.
It is recommended that when staff become aware that a theft has taken place they refer
the matter to the Emirates Group security office or report the incident to the building
security officer on duty so that the Police can be notified at the earliest opportunity.
Page 12 of 40

HANDBOOK
In order to minimise cases of theft/break in, please ensure the following:
15.
Cash or valuables are not left unattended and kept secure at all times.
Apartment front doors are kept locked at all times.
Your bedroom door is kept locked when you are away from the apartment.
CHANGE OF ACCOMMODATION
All requests for change of accommodation must be registered on the Change of
Accommodation Request Form. This form is available on groupworld and at the
security office. Verbal requests for change of accommodation will not be accepted.
Changes/moves will only be sanctioned for the following reasons:
a. Promotion or demotion
b. Upgrade of accommodation (own room, studio, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom)
c. Downgrade of accommodation
d. Reallocation to another apartment
e. Swapping
f.
Request to take CPA
g. Opting Out taking AA

Requests for change of accommodation due to disputes with flatmates will not be
entertained. Staff who are experiencing difficulties with flatmates should complete a
Dispute Form (Appendix 13).
a.
Promotions or Demotion
An employee who subsequently gets promoted or demoted and whose contractual
accommodation provisions therefore change must advise Facilities Management.
This enables the department to arrange alternative accommodation, and if
applicable, make arrangements to stop any top up charges.
The following guidelines apply for this type of move:
Promoted or demoted staff will be moved to appropriate accommodation when

it is available.
Promoted staff who are already in CPA are not eligible for compensation or a
AA during the period they have to wait for upgraded accommodation.
Staff who get promoted, and already paying a top up fee can stay in the
accommodation and a top up fee will be stopped from the effective date of the
promotion.
Demoted staff may choose between taking the AA or accommodation

applicable to their grade.
Staff are responsible for moving their personal furniture/appliances to the new
accommodation unit.
Promoted staff who elect to take the AA (if applicable) and staff who are
transferred into a job that does not have the accommodation benefit, are
requested to move out of their current CPA within 7 days from the date of
promotion. Request for extensions to this time frame will be considered where
staff have a valid reason.
Page 13 of 40

HANDBOOK
The new AA will be applicable only from the date of vacating the apartment. On
receipt of check out confirmation report, Facilities Management will advise HR
Admin that the employee has moved out and that the AA should be paid.
b.
Upgrade of Accommodation
This is when staff can opt to enhance their accommodation provisions by paying
an additional top up fee. Staff can pay to upgrade their accommodation to have
their own bedroom, or their own apartment. Facilities Management can advise
current fees. If staff wish to opt for upgraded accommodation they will be placed
on a waitlist.
c.
Downgrade of Accommodation
This is when staff who have previously upgraded their accommodation, decide that
they wish to stop paying the additional fee, and move back into accommodation
that is in line with standard provisions for their grade. Staff requesting to change
their accommodation and take standard accommodation will be put on the waitlist.
It is not possible to downgrade from standard company provision, e.g move to a
shared bedroom and receive a partial AA.
d.
Relocation to Another Apartment

This is where staff can request to move into a vacant bedroom in a specific
apartment e.g move accommodation units to share with friends who live in that
apartment. An AED 300 administration charge is applied to staff who request to
relocate apartments.
e.
Swapping
Staff can request to change apartments with another member of staff. It must be a
direct swap e.g the occupant of one apartment, directly changes rooms with the
occupant of another apartment. Requests for such moves should be made in
writing on the Change of Accommodation Form. An administration fee of AED 300
is payable for this type of move, a cancellation fee is also applied if staff
subsequently change their mind and decide not to move.
Arrangements must be made by all the parties to agree on a date/time to check
out from their existing apartment and check into their new allocated apartment (it
must be done at the same time).
Swapping of bedrooms without prior approval from Facilities Management is not
permitted. Please refer to the terms and conditions under Unauthorised moves.
f.
Request to take CPA

This is where a member of staff who is currently receiving a AA, decides that they
wish to take CPA, or cases where staff become eligible for CPA e.g. following a
promotion. Staff who want to take CPA must complete a request form and will then
be placed on the waitlist. Any AA will cease from the date staff check into Al Quoz
accommodation.
Page 14 of 40

HANDBOOK
g.
Opting Out AA
Staff who meet certain criteria are able to apply to opt out of CPA and avail of the
AA. The following staff can opt out of CPA:
Grade
EK.03-EK.08
Marital Status
Opt out criteria
Single
Completed 12 months in CPA.
Married
At any time, provided the spouse is listed

on HRDirect. Staff will need to provide a
copy of the spouses UAE Residence Visa
to Facilities Management.
The Opt Out Application Form can be found on groupworld>Employee Centre

>Accommodation>JuniorAccommodation>Company Provided Accommodation>Al
Quoz>Opt Out Form.
Staff who move out of CPA and avail of the AA, can apply for a AA advance.
Further information is available from HRES. Refer to groupworld>Employee
Centre>HR Forms> Accommodation Allowance Advance.
Please note that staff who are granted permission to move out of CPA and take
the AA, will not be allowed to opt for CPA at any time in the future (unless it is a
promotion to EK.09 or equivalent).
If an employee requests to move out of CPA and subsequently withdraws their
request after the approval is obtained from Facilities Management, a charge of
AED 300 will be debited from their salary account.
Staff who opt out of CPA without authorisation from Facilities Management will not
receive any AA in lieu of accommodation.
The company reserves the right to withdraw the opt out facility at any time.
Employees who opt to move out of CPA in order to avail of Company Assisted
Accommodation (CAA), must note that they will have a lower priority than other
staff. They will only receive a CAA apartment if there is no demand from other
staff. Information on the current CAA waitlist status can be found on groupworld.
15.1 Procedure and Fees for Requesting Change of Accommodation
Staff must complete the Change of Accommodation Request Form and submit or mail it
to Facilities Management Department, EGHQ, 7th floor. Staff should ensure that they
explain their reason for wanting to move, and also state any accommodation
preferences.
Page 15 of 40

HANDBOOK
If no preference is given, it is assumed staff are willing to move to any apartment. If

staff reject the offer of alternative accommodation, their name will be removed from the
waitlist, and they will need to make a new application. Approval will depend on
availability of accommodation and any company requirements.
If more than one staff has the same preference, priority will be given to staff whose
number comes first in the wait list (e.g first come first served approach).
If the offer is accepted, staff must move to their new accommodation within 7 days from
the date of acceptance. Staff who do not check in on the specified date will be liable for
late check in charges (this is to cover the cost of two units being allocated to the same
member of staff).
If staff accept the offer of alternative accommodation and then subsequently decide not
to move, an administration charge of AED 300 is payable. Any applicable charges will
be deducted from an employees salary account.
Facilities Management will arrange to amend the HR records only after the keys of the
previous accommodation unit have been returned and the check in confirmation into
the new allocated apartment is received from security.
15.2 Company Initiated Moves
The company reserves the right to move staff from one accommodation unit to another
unit. Staff do not have the option to refuse such requests. Generally company initiated
moves will be for maintenance reasons or release of building/s to the landlord.
Wherever possible the company will try to avoid compelling staff to move
accommodation. However when such moves are unavoidable, the company will credit
AED 300 to the employees salary account for a move to company furnished
accommodation. AED 500 for a move to unfurnished accommodation (e.g when staff
have to move their own furniture).
Staff who refuse to move for any reason, will be referred directly to their line manager
for disciplinary action.
16.
VACATING CPA
When vacating Al Quoz accommodation (upon resignation, following company approval
to take AA or transfer to another CPA accommodation unit), there are a number of
specific guidelines to be followed:
a.
Apartment Inventory Check

Once staff have checked out of the property an inventory check is carried out by
the company. Staff can request for the inventory check to be done a week prior to
check out. Please note that it is not possible to carry out a complete inventory
check whilst the accommodation is occupied. The company therefore reserves the
right to debit charges from an employees salary or EOSB, should subsequent
damage be found after they have checked out. If charges are made, staff will be
provided with a full breakdown.
Page 16 of 40

HANDBOOK
b.
Shifting of personal items

Staff are responsible for the packing, moving and security of their personal items.
Before vacating the unit, staff must ensure that they have removed all personal
items from the apartment.
Staff are required to take with them all their individual starter pack items. The
shared common pack items are company property, and should not be removed
from the accommodation.
The company will not be held liable for any personal items left behind in the
accommodation unit after return of keys. It will dispose of all medicines, liquor and
perishable items immediately, and will store other personal effects for 30 days.
Once the 30 day period has expired, the company will dispose of the items as they
see fit. Any valuable items such as jewellery, cash, credit cards, cheque books etc
will be stored separately in a secure place for a 6 month period, after which they
will also be disposed of. Any costs involved with disposal or packing and
transportation of personal items will be charged to the employee.
c.
Keys
Apartment keys must be returned personally to building security. Please ensure
you lock your apartment and/or bedroom prior to returning the keys. If keys are not
returned within 24-hours of the date of vacating the accommodation unit the cost
of replacement keys will be charged to the employees salary or deducted from the
EOSB.
d.
Telephone/Internet (if applicable)

When staff vacate their accommodation they must ensure that the
telephone/internet has been disconnected, all bills have been settled and a
clearance letter obtained. This clearance letter should be handed to the security

The landlord of Al Quoz provides pest control services for the communal areas on a
regular basis. Staff can request pest control services, they should log their request
with the security office who will forward it to the Facilities Management Department.
Pest control services normally carry a warranty period of three months. Repeat

additional costs. Following treatment, staff are requested to wait 24 hours before
cleaning the recently treated area.
It is important that residents maintain the apartment in a proper and hygienic
condition, failure to do so will result in Facilities Management arranging for the

employees salary account as appropriate
4.

The keeping of dogs, cats and other pets in Al Quoz CPA is not permitted. Staff who
are found to be keeping pets on the premises will be subject to disciplinary action and

5.
GARBAGE DISPOSAL
Garbage chutes have been provided on all floors of the building for disposal of
garbage. It would be appreciated if all residents could adhere to the following points:
Waste, with the exception of glass and liquids, should be placed in secured
garbage bags and put into the garbage chute. It should not be left lying outside the
apartments/corridors or in the garbage room.
Cardboard boxes, packing materials and other bulky items should not be disposed
in the garbage chute but placed directly into the Municipality skip (located outside
the building) or in the main Al Quoz garbage room.
Page 22 of 40

HANDBOOK
Occupants living on the ground floor are requested to place garbage near the main
garbage room in the basement area or designated areas in the car park. Please do
not leave garbage in the corridors or exit staircases of the building.
If residents do not comply with the garbage disposal procedure mentioned above, the
company will have no option but to levy a compulsory monthly charge on all residents
for providing garbage cleaning services.
Please show consideration to your neighbours that live close to the garbage rooms,
and help us to maintain the Al Quoz property.
6.
CLEANING AND MAINTAINING ACCOMMODATION

Residents are responsible for the general cleanliness of the bedroom and common
areas. Failure to do so will result in a cleaning charge, which will be deducted from the
salary account of the occupant(s).
Residents are responsible for keeping the apartment and company furnishings/fittings
in a good condition. In order to do this it is recommended that staff:
Avoid carpeting the floor if the apartment flooring has been tiled. The glue used to
secure the carpet will deface tiles. If this occurs, staff will be charged for cleaning
the flooring to its original condition.
Do not use any chemicals /drain cleaning agents (Draino) to clear blocked drains
as they may damage the PVC pipes of the building.
Do not dump sanitary pads, tissues, diapers (pampers) etc. in the bathroom toilet
as this will affect the PVC pipes and block the plumbing and drainage system.
Staff who are found to have caused blockages due to this negligence, will be
charged for costs incurred to rectify the problem.
Do not chew and spit betel nut (Paan) or Paan Parag or any of its additives in the
corridors or common areas of the building. If you do this, it will result in disciplinary
action. Cleaning charges will be debited from the employees salary account.
The company is not liable for the replacement of furnishings that have become
infested with bed bugs, body lice or similar infestations. In cases where such
infestations occur, the employee is liable for the fumigation and replacement of the
infested item. These costs will be deducted from the employees salary account.
Some staff have allergies and respiratory problems such as asthma. Should staff
require the A/C ducts to be cleaned, they can arrange this at their own cost.
7.
ENERGY CONSERVATION
In order to conserve electricity and promote environmental responsibility, staff residing in
Al Quoz accommodation are requested to adhere to the following points:
Turn off lights that are not needed especially in the balcony area.
Use natural daylight as much as possible.
Page 23 of 40

HANDBOOK
Clean light bulbs regularly, since dirt diffuses light, decreasing illumination.
Replace bulbs with lowest acceptable wattages.
The air-conditioning has been designed for operation with the windows closed.
Windows and doors should not be left open when the air-conditioning is on as this
leads to excessive humidity and condensation problems in the apartment.
The company reserves the right to charge the employee in cases of excessive electricity
and water bills which could be attributed to misuse.
8.
MOULD
In order to avoid mould in the apartment, staff are requested to refrain from drying wet
clothes in their bedroom or living room. The moisture from wet clothes is sucked by
the return air-conditioning air in the apartment which causes dampness for mould on
walls, mats, clothing, shoes etc. Any mould rectification costs which have been
attributed to the above, will need to be borne by the occupants of the apartment.
To avoid excessive moisture in your apartment during the more humid times of the
year, it is recommended that the room thermostats are left between 22 and 24
Celsius. It is possible to redirect the A/C vents to divert air flow.
9.
RESPECTING ROOM MATES AND NEIGHBOURS

Residents are expected to be courteous and respect their neighbours requirement for
peaceful rest times. Occupants are requested to refrain from playing loud music and
making any loud noise which will disturb other residents of the building. Residents
should respect the landlords property and not permit any act that could cause
annoyance/nuisance to the landlord or other residents.
10.
LIQUOR LICENCE
Please note in accordance with UAE legislation, staff must obtain an alcohol license in
order to consume and store alcohol in their apartment. Refer to Employee Handbook
chapter 1-A7.
11.
SAFETY RULES
The following rules have been set out to ensure the safety of all residents:
Do not throw any objects from the balcony.
Do not keep any pots/material/hang linen on the balconies or place any objects
(cupboards etc) on the parapet level of your balcony.
Do not sit on balcony walls/railings.

balcony). Smoking is allowed outside the Al Quoz building.

communal outside areas).

dangerous nature, which may cause, contribute to or increase the risk of fire or
explosion in the building.
INTERIOR PAINTING
The company will paint individual bedrooms, if required, that are vacant and being
prepared for occupancy by another member of staff. Staff sharing bedrooms are not
permitted to paint their room a different colour. Staff in non sharing bedrooms are able
to paint their bedroom a different colour, however they will be charged for painting and
returning the room to the company standard colour. This charge will be made when
staff move out of the bedroom. Staff in shared accommodation are not permitted to
paint communal areas. Staff in their own studio or apartment can paint the lounge etc,
however they will be charged for painting and returning the room to the company
standard colour once they check out.
13.
PREPARATION OF VACANT BEDROOM FOR THE NEW OCCUPANT

In order to maintain and prepare the vacant bedroom for the new occupant, one of the
accommodation supervisors and company approved contractors will be required to
access a partially occupied apartment. If staff are not available in the apartment during
these visits, an Access Notification will be left in the common area. Section 9 of Al
Quoz Accommodation Handbook has further information.
As part of the apartment preparation, Facilities Management may arrange any/all of
the work relating to painting, maintenance, cleaning, shampooing of soft furnishings in
the common area.
Any items found in the vacant bedroom not belonging to the company, will be treated
as disposable items.
As a standard security measure, kindly ensure that your bedroom door/valuables are
kept locked at all times. Please note that Facilities Management and contractors will
not be liable for any missing items/ valuables.
Page 25 of 40

HANDBOOK
14.

compliance will be appreciated:
15.

themselves. If these disputes cannot be resolved a Dispute Form should be completed
to refer the issue for official action to be taken (Appendix 13). This form can be found
on groupworld and from security office. Domestic disputes do not automatically justify
a change of accommodation.

flatmates, formal action may be taken.

APPENDIX 10
FIRE PROTECTION OFFICE SAFETY ADVICE
This information provides staff with a basic understanding of fire prevention and fire reporting
procedures at Al Quoz. Some of this information, as presented, may not apply to your
specific residence but it is all relevant to fire safety. Please read this notice it may save a
life.
The local fire department in Dubai is organised under the Ministry of the Interior and is
named Civil Defence. This structure places Civil Defence with the Police authorities under
one Ministerial group, resulting in increased Civil Defence empowerment. One affect, is the
influence of Police from their response to fire incidents and during their subsequent fire
cause investigations. As such, you should always cooperate fully with Civil Defence
personnel engaged in public safety.
KNOW THE FIRE REPORTING NUMBER
DIAL 997
OR CALL YOUR SECURITY DESK
(04 432 7371)
If a small fire occurs and is discovered in the beginning stages, you should contact security
staff, who are trained to act as first responders and extinguish the blaze. Normally the fire
detection system will be activated if there is a fire and security will act immediately using
portable fire extinguishers that are available in Al Quoz. This can prevent the need for the
Civil Defence or Police to respond to your fire. Any damage caused (not just by fire) to
property, or people which is due to negligence is a serious offence in Dubai, and the Public
Authorities can impose fines on staff. Should this occur, Emirates can consult with authorities
on your behalf, but a penalty free outcome is never assured.
Should you discover a fire that obviously requires professional response by Civil Defence,
dial 997 immediately. If you are ever in doubt on whom to call it is always best to call 997 first
and then security later. Never endanger yourself by trying to extinguish a fire unless you
have received proper training, feel safe and are confident in your actions.
Follow the fire prevention advice to keep yourself and your family safe.
FIRE SAFETY ADVICE
On Discovering A Fire
Activate the nearest fire alarm.
Call the emergency services.
Attack the fire with equipment provided in your area, but do not put yourself at risk.
If the fire continues to grow leave the building, close fire doors behind you, but never
put yourself in danger to close an open door.
Page 36 of 40

HANDBOOK
On Hearing the Fire Evacuation Alarm Bell
Close doors and windows, but do not put yourself at risk.
Do not use lifts during an emergency.
Follow the evacuation plan and proceed to your assembly point.
Leave the building in an orderly manner. Guide emergency forces to the scene as
needed.
Arriving at your assembly point, initiate headcount for family members, neighbours and
roommates.
Do not re-enter the building until authorised to do so.
ASSEMBLY POINT AND EVACUATION PLAN INFO IS AVAILABLE NEAR THE MAIN
ENTRANCE DOOR, YOU MAY ALSO ASK SECURITY.
Fires Are Caused By People Who Are Just Like Us
Unattended cooking causes 50-60% of home fires year after year, particularly when open
pans are used. Candles left burning are the second major cause followed by electrical fires.
Follow these rules to prevent you from becoming another statistic:
Never fill the pan more than one third full with cooking oil.
Never leave the pan unattended with the heat on, not even to answer a telephone or
collect a visitor.
If the pan catches fire, never move it or pour water over it. Turn off the heat if possible,
carefully cover the pan with a lid, damp towel or fire blanket, and leave it covered to
cool for at least 30 minutes before attempting to move it.
Keep all combustibles,especially loose clothing, well clear of the cooker.
Switch off the cooking range when not in use. Even if you leave for a moment.
Never leave a lit candle unattended. Glass candle bowls can break and the hot wax will
spread in a pool which the burning wick can easily set alight.
Check electric cables for frayed, damaged wire. Never run cords under carpets or nail
them. Never use electrical equipment unless it operates safely and as designed.
To prevent fires due to electric component failure or from overheating of equipment,

please ensure you switch off the power from the main wall socket or unplug any
electronic equipment (television, computer, stereo, mobile charger, hair dryer etc), not
in use or when you are not present in the apartment.
It is important to use the correct adapters for small appliances and to not overload the
circuit by using plug socket multipliers. Please contact Facilities Management if you
require further advice.
Please note that smoking Is not permitted inside Al Qouz.

Fire Fighting Equipment
Located either in your flat or the corridor outside.
Powder extinguishers may be used on all fires.
A fire blanket is used to smother fires. Drape the blanket over the burning object.
