GPSSA Services in
United Arab Emirates

Secure your workforce and ensure compliance. We handle GPSSA registration, monthly contribution management, and social insurance for both UAE and expatriate employees.

Manage GPSSA Account

Social insurance is a mandatory requirement for every employee in the Emirates. The General Pension and Social Security Authority (GPSSA) oversees the registration of establishments and collection of contributions to protect UAE national employees.

Role of GPSSA

GPSSA regulations ensure financial security for employees. For UAE nationals, it covers retirement (pension) and social security. For Expatriates, employer obligations are covered under the End of Service Gratuity and ILOE systems.

Source of Truth: GPSSA data is the official record for calculation of UAEzation ratios in the Emiratisation system. An employee is only "counted" once registered in GPSSA.

We provide full administration of your GPSSA online account:

  • 🏢
    Establishment Registration Opening a file for your new company as soon as the Trade License is issued.

Critical Compliance

GPSSA accuracy directly impacts your business rating:

UAEzation

MOHRE pulls data from GPSSA. If a UAE isn't in GPSSA, they don't count towards your Emiratisation green status.

Wage Protection

The salary paid via bank (WPS) must match the wage registered in GPSSA. Discrepancies block services.

Late Fees

Unpaid contributions attract a swift 2% monthly fine, which can accumulate to substantial debt.

Why Streamline?

  • Cost Savings Proper exclusion of ex-employees saves thousands in unnecessary hazard payments.
  • Smooth Operations A valid GPSSA certificate is needed to receive payments from government clients.
  • Employee Trust Ensures your team is covered for medical treatment in case of work accidents.
