GPSSA explains the mechanism to pay employer contributions
Abu Dhabi, 25th August 2025: UAE-based employers are expected to transfer monthly contributions to the General Pension and Social Security Authority (GPSSA) on behalf of their Emirati employees in a timely and accurate manner through a validated bank account or approved payment method.
Contributions are paid via the official electronic contribution transfer system, which is available on GPSSA’s Ma’ashi digital platform. Invoices can also be instantly uploaded using the same method.
GPSSA’s mechanism to pay contributions has been designed to ensure a smooth payment experience for federal, government and private sector entities, recognizing the pivotal role each employer plays in partnering with the GPSSA to ensure the success of the overall insurance scheme in the UAE.
Business owners can also check contribution amounts due through the Ma’ashi digital platform on the spot.
It is important to note that contributions must be paid to the GPSSA from the beginning of each month following that against which they are due, and this period may be extended to the 15th day of that month. These contributions are non-refundable.
The Ma’ashi digital platform has been designed by the GPSSA to eliminate unnecessary procedures, simplify government processes, and improve efficiency to enhance quality of life and global competitiveness as per the UAE Government Bureaucracy Program (ZGB), which aims to achieve a streamlined, efficient, and responsive government through technology and innovation.
