Private sector employees in the UAE who are unable to register for the mandatory job loss insurance scheme are required to submit details to the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE).

Starting January 1, the UAE made it mandatory for Emirati and expat employees working in the private and federal government departments to subscribe to the Involuntary Loss of Employment (ILOE) insurance scheme before June 30, failing which they will be subject to Dh400 fine.

While registering, some employees received a message saying “Dear Customer, Kindly note, we do not have your information. Please contact MoHRE call centre - 600590000 to update your EIDA / UID details.”

“If you are an employee in the private sector and have a work permit issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation and when you enter your data, if you do not find your information, please submit a technical support ticket on MoHRE website, mobile app or contact the MoHRE call centre,” the ILOE said on
