UAE entities should register GCC employees in pension, insurance system: GPSSA
The General Pension and Social Security Authority (GPSSA) called on the UAE-based entities to register their employees from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries in the unified system for extending insurance protection.
The authority explained that it includes those employed in the government and private sectors, free zones, and the hotel and tourism sector.
Registering the GCC employees in the UAE is mandatory according to Law No.18, the UAE Cabinet issued on 22nd July, 2007, to regulate the provisions of insurance protection for Gulf citizens working in civil entities in any GCC country, the GPSSA said today.
“The GPSSA has been entrusted to implement the system for Emiratis working in the GCC region and for the GCC citizens working in the UAE.
“According to the system, a Gulf citizen who works in any of the GCC countries enjoys social insurance (registration, contribution and disbursement of his/her insurance rights) as if he/she were working in their home country. For the GCC employee looking to receive insurance, they should meet the requirements of the pension and social security law in their home country, given that they are GCC nationals and work for a civil entity.”
