When it comes to special guests, it is going to be hard to keep up with Jones The Grocer.

Staff at one of the restaurant's outlets in the emirate had a memorable Monday shift when Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, popped in for a visit.

The Crown Prince even took time out to pose for snaps with delighted staff.

The global chain, which has a number of branches across Abu Dhabi and Dubai, posted the happy snap of the royal treat on its official Instagram account.

It was the latest dinner date for the Crown Prince, who attended a lunch banquet hosted by an Emirati family on Saturday.

Sheikh Mohammed and members of the Royal Family were the guests of Mohammed Bakheet Al Ketbi on Saturday at his home in Al Ain.

Mr Al Ketbi and his family, along with several dignitaries, welcomed Sheikh Mohammed and wished good health to the President, Sheikh Khalifa, state news agency Wam reported.

Labour dispute

The insured employee may still file an ILOE claim even if a labour dispute is ongoing post termination, but the insurer may suspend or reject payment, until the courts resolve the dispute, especially if the reason for termination is contested. The outcome of the labour court proceedings can directly affect eligibility.
