If an insured individual (UAE national employee) finds out that they are not registered with GPSSA, as per the requirement of the pension law, he/she should immediately:
1.Request his/her employer to register him/her with GPSSA
2.Report and explain this issue to GPSSA, if he/she has not been registered with GPSSA within one month of his/her joining date, and submit relevant supporting documentation (e.g., employment contract/decree)

As per the pension law, an employee and his/her employer must pay contributions from the day an employee started employment with the respective employer. Accordingly, if a new employee has been registered late and a contribution payment(s) has not been made, all parties should pay their share for the service period not yet paid.

Please also note, as per the pension law, an employer will incur a penalty/fine for any overdue contribution payment(s), and any period not paid for will be deducted from an individual's total service period.

To register a new employee with GPSSA, an employer should submit the following documents to GPSSA:

-Employment contract/decree (signed by both employer and employee)
-Medical fitness certificate
-Proof of acquired nationality (if applicable)
-Proof of salary details (Federal and Local Government employer)

To be considered 'insured', an individual must:

1-be a UAE national that works for an employer/entity in the UAE other than the government or private sector in Abu Dhabi or the government sector of Sharjah
2-have a valid Emirates ID
3-work for an employer/entity that meets the conditions and is subject to the provisions of the Federal Pension Law
4-be deemed medically fit to work upon appointment
5-not be self-employed
6-not be covered by a pension fund that is affiliated with the military or the Ministry of Interior

To confirm that an individual has been registered with GPSSA, the Authority can issue an insurance number once an employee has been registered successfully with GPSSA.

Please note, an employee should confirm with his/her employer that the registration process has been successfully completed within one month from his/her joining date.
