The provisions of this Article apply

supervising free zones. These authorities must coordinate with the Department
of Finance to determine the phases for implementing the Scheme and registering
their Employees therein. However, the Employees must be enrolled in the Scheme
no later than 31 December 2025. The Director General of the Department of
Finance may, where necessary, extend this deadline for such period as he
determines.
In
addition to the Employee enrolment rules set out in the Decree, an Employee
working in a Department governed by the provisions of the Law may not be
enrolled in the Scheme if his post is below grade 6. An Employee working in a
Department not governed by the provisions of the Law may not be enrolled in the
Scheme if his Total Salary is less than six thousand dirhams (AED 6,000.00).
a.
The minimum Contribution for
automatic enrolment in the low-to-medium risk investment portfolio will be:
1. an amount equivalent to the Total
Salary of grade 6 Employees working in Departments governed by the provisions
of the Law; or
2. an amount of six thousand dirhams
(AED 6,000.00) for Employees working in Departments not governed by the
provisions of the Law.
b.
The Contribution specified in
paragraph (a) of this Article will be automatically invested in the
low-to-medium risk investment portfolio.
c.
When the Contribution is invested in
the low-to-medium risk investment portfolio, the Department will notify the
Employee accordingly to enable him to indicate his preference either to continue
with that portfolio or to switch to the capital-protected portfolio, which is
free from any risk.
This
Resolution comes into force on the effective date of the Decree, and will be
published in the Official Gazette.
