MoHRE clarified that it is the responsibility of the private sector companies to register Emirati employees in the pension and social security systems.

MoHRE also highlighted that it is ‘mandatory’ for companies to register their Emirati employees in the pension and social security systems, as this will ensure that employees receive Nafis support, and the rights of both parties are guaranteed.
The ministry stated that although it is the employer’s responsibility to register their Emirati employees in the pension and social security systems, it is also the employee’s responsibility to ensure that they are registered and that contributions are paid based on their real wages.
“Any breach or manipulation in the payment of contributions would decrease the value of the employee’s insurance benefits upon retirement, and this also makes the employers liable to penal action.”
In addition, if the work permit of an Emirati employee is cancelled, the employer must liaise with the concerned pension and social security authority to discuss end-of-service benefits and service merging.
