GPSSA launches online Work Fitness Assessment Service

The General Pension and Social Security Authority (GPSSA) launches an assessment service on its website on Tuesday (May 31) in addition to its growing pension and social security services. The Work Fitness Assessment Service helps government or private entities to evaluate the employee’s health status through submission of a work fitness request on the GPSSA website. The GPSSA then reviews the required conditions of the submitted request before forwarding it to the concerned medical committee. The person being evaluated must be employed and meet the conditions of the Pensions and Social Security law to avail of the said service. The required documents for completing the work fitness request include a certified medical report issued by a UAE-based government hospital that does not exceed six months, a medical examination upon work appointment, a copy of a valid Emirates ID, and a recent personal photo. The concerned medical committee will then review the documents and decide the rate of disability or non-fitness. If the employee is proven to have a total disability or a health-related condition rendering the individual to be unfit for work, the employee’s previous contribution to GPSSA becomes sufficient enough with no additional service period required to be eligible for the pension. Companies and government entities can now avail of the assessment service at www.gpssa.gov.ae under the service category. KSO/Expat Media
