The General Pension and Social Security Authority (GPSSA) announced a strategic initiative exempting small private-sector employers from additional amounts incurred due to late registration or delays in processing end-of-service benefits. The exemption applies to companies employing four or fewer Emirati workers and covers additional amounts due between 1 January 2024 and 30 April 2025. GPSSA will apply the measure automatically under the Zero Government Bureaucracy programme, with 1,906 companies expected to benefit; eligible employers will be notified directly by the authority.
