Yes, expatriates in the UAE can benefit from alternative End-of-Service Benefit (EOSB) schemes, like the Sovereign EOSG Saving Scheme. Unlike UAE and GCC nationals who can benefit from pension schemes enforced by the GPSSA or ADPF, expatriates are typically not covered by mandatory pension schemes. However, as of 10th October, 2023, the Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation (MoHRE) issued Cabinet Resolution No.96 of 2023, which introduced a voluntary, and alternative EOSB scheme for employers and employees. Sovereign’s EOSG Saving Scheme provides a structured, compliant solution for managing and securing EOS gratuity payments. It will ensure that your business meets its legal obligations while also offering your expatriate employees financial security and peace of mind. We will assist with the set-up and management of this scheme, make sure that contributions are accurately calculated and managed, and that funds are securely held until the time of disbursement.
