The General Pension and Social Security Authority has extended federal pension coverage to UAE nationals working part time in government and private sector entities. Coverage applies to employees working eight to 32 hours, or one to four days, per week, equivalent to 20% to 80% of full-time hours. Service periods and pension benefits will be calculated proportionately based on actual working hours and the approved contribution calculation salary for each applicable period. Employers must register eligible part-time employees and update the Ma'ashi platform when an insured full-time employee moves to a part-time contract. The framework preserves continuity of service when employees transition between full-time and part-time roles.
