The UAE government has extended the deadline for registration for the unemployment insurance scheme. The new deadline is September 30, 2023. This means that all employees in the UAE, including those who were employed before February 28, 2023, have until September 30 to register for the scheme.
The unemployment insurance scheme is a mandatory scheme that is designed to provide financial assistance to employees who lose their jobs through no fault of their own. The scheme provides a monthly benefit for up to three months, and the benefit amount is based on the employee's salary and length of service.
To register for the unemployment insurance scheme, employees can visit the website of the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE). Employees can also register for the scheme through their employer.
The following are the steps on how to register for the unemployment insurance scheme:
- Go to the MoHRE website and click on the "Unemployment Insurance" tab.
- Click on the "Register" button.
- Enter your personal information, including your name, passport number, Emirates ID number, and date of birth.
- Enter your employment information, including your employer's name, address, and contact information.
- Enter your salary information.
- Click on the "Submit" button.
Once you have registered for the unemployment insurance scheme, you will be able to start making contributions. The contribution rate is 2% of your salary. Your employer will deduct the contribution from your salary and remit it to the MoHRE.
If you lose your job, you can apply for benefits from the unemployment insurance scheme. To apply for benefits, you must file a claim with the MoHRE within 30 days of losing your job. You will need to provide the MoHRE with proof of your employment, your termination letter, and your bank account information.
The unemployment insurance scheme is a valuable safety net for employees in the UAE. If you are employed in the UAE, I encourage you to register for the scheme.
