Social Security for Employees
Social Security benefits are provided to employees in GCC countries (Saudi, UAE, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar) by their respective governments. Each GCC country has its own policies and regulations regarding social security and employee benefits.
If your organization is based in the Bahrain but has employees from other GCC states, it is essential to consider the social security regulations of the employee’s respective country to accurately calculate their pension.
Configuring Social Security
When creating an employee in our app, assign the employee’s nationality. Our app will automatically list the applicable social security options for that nationality in the social security module under settings.
Here are the list of social securities we support in our app for the GCC member states as of now:
- Social Insurance Organization (SIO)
- General Organization for Social Insurance (GOSI)
- General Pension And Social Security Authority (GPSSA)
- Social Protection Fund (SPF)
- Public Institution for Social Security (PIFSS)
- General Retirement and Social Insurance Authority (GRSIA)
NOTE It is crucial to configure social security accurately to ensure compliance with the regulations of the employee’s specific GCC country.
Zoho Payroll will automatically take these configurations into consideration when calculating the employee’s salary, ensuring accuracy and compliance with relevant regulations.
