Sharjah, UAE – Sharjah ruler Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi on Wednesday listed the four categories that qualify for retirement in the Sharjah government in January.Â
The first category, which currently consists of 51 individuals, is for those who have reached the legal retirement age.
The second category is those who have sufficient funds set aside in the Sharjah Social Security Fund and have worked in the government for 35 years, but are below the legal retirement age.
In the third category, those who have completed 30 years of work can opt to have the government pay on their behalf to the Sharjah Social Security Fund for their retirement.
The fourth category is reserved for women only who meet the conditions for retirement and have completed 20 years of work in the emirate’s government.
Dr. Sheikh Sultan noted that there are also other cases where the officials suffer from chronic diseases, and the government pays the remaining amount to the Sharjah Social Security Fund so that they can retire. This includes people who lack competence and can no longer contribute.
