Toward 100% coverage: Proactive registration of non-Saudi workers

Registering employees as contributors in GOSI's (General Organization for Social Insurance) system as soon as they are employed by establishments is a vital step as it ensures the social security of those employees. Unfortunately employers sometimes are late in registering their employees, or the registration might contain missing or incorrect information, which can be detrimental to their wellbeing, and this usually happens to expatriate workers.

Integrating technology to improve operational processes

The National Social Security and Welfare Corporation (NASSCORP) is responsible for administration and payment of eight benefit types: Retirement, Survival and Invalidity Pensions, Retirement and Survival Grants, Temporary and Permanent Disablement Benefits, and Refunds.
 
Prior to the introduction of technology, benefit processing workflow took an average of 120 days. This was due to lack of, or inadequate paper records. Every department involved in the process had separate rules, some of which were counterproductive.
