Hello, I would like to know more about the housing allowance offered by Abu Dhabi. If they say AED 9,280 Housing Allowance per month' in the initial offer of employment does that mean they will pay the full amount even if you don't spend that much on housing? Is that money paid directly into your monthly pay and is it limited only to housing expenses?? thanks benj

Dear benj, There are normally two ways the housing allowances are paid. The first one is the company will give you the housing allowance checks directly to your landlord or issue a yearly payment to you which you can pay to your landlord, which is the case for most of the multinationals and government firms in the emirate. But the majority of the private firms calculate the accomodation expenses on a monthly basis and disperse it along with their basic salary. In your case since they have mentioned as a monthly component they will be dispersing the amount as cash to you or your salary account.
