Seamless GPSSA Registration & Reporting

UAE Nationals. The General Pension and Social Security Authority (GPSSA) is the federal body responsible for managing pensions and social security contributions for UAE Nationals employed in the public and private sectors, and compliance with GPSSA regulations is a legal requirement when hiring UAE Nationals. Registration of Emirati employees with the GPSSA is the first employer obligation.

Contributions are monthly and shared between the employer, the employee and the UAE government. On the employer side that means payroll deductions must be accurate and in line with pension laws, then reported and recorded to meet regulatory obligations. GPSSA administers those contributions along with retirement pensions, end of service benefits and insurance coverage for Emirati employees.

Ma'ashi is the digital platform GPSSA launched as one of its most significant digital transformation initiatives, built to streamline and digitize pension-related services. It gives employers, insured members, pensioners and beneficiaries access to services 24 hours a day, with data privacy, transparency and real-time service tracking built into how it operates.

Employers use Ma'ashi to track contributions, review employee data and receive proactive compliance alerts. The alerts are the practical benefit: rather than finding a gap during a later review, you are prompted while it can still be corrected. Platform access sits on top of the underlying duties to register Emirati staff and deduct and report contributions accurately.

Yes. Insured members can independently manage services such as end of service requests, employment period updates and pension planning. The platform also provides tools to estimate pension eligibility and retirement timelines, which supports personal financial planning. Access runs around the clock for insured members, pensioners and beneficiaries as well as for employers.

Nafis is a UAE federal initiative that supports Emirati citizens in the private sector, and it is integrated with GPSSA. For employers it provides hiring incentives, meaning financial benefits for recruiting and retaining Emirati talent, recruitment tools including access to a national talent pool and platform-based hiring support, and compliance alignment with GPSSA pension and Emiratization requirements.

For Emiratis, Nafis offers government-funded salary and pension supplements intended to boost income and reduce pension costs, a monthly child allowance for children of Emirati employees, and career access through job listings, training and apprenticeships on the Nafis platform. Because Nafis is integrated with GPSSA, these sit alongside the employer's pension and Emiratization obligations.
