Sharjah Ruler unveils 4 categories eligible for retirement

Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah highlighted the four categories that qualify for retirement in the Sharjah government as of this January during a call on Sharjah's radio and television's "Direct Line" show. The first group, which encompasses 51 individuals, includes those who have attained the legal retirement age. The second group is for people who have funds set aside in the Sharjah Social Security Fund that would cover them completely, have worked in the government for 35 years, but are under the legal retirement age, and their number is 23. The third group is for people who have worked for 30 years and agree that the government buys their retirement by paying on their behalf what remains them to the Sharjah Social Security Fund to retire, and their number is 86. The fourth category is allocated to women who meet the prerequisites for retirement and have completed 20 years of service in the emirate's government. Sheikh Sultan also mentioned that there are other retirement cases, such as individuals with chronic diseases, for whom the government pays the remaining amounts to the Sharjah Social Security Fund for them to retire, as well as people who lack competence and can no longer contribute.
