Employees having problems with their sponsors relating to the new health insurance scheme could look for the help of the authorities.
A complaint unit to get employees grievances has been set up where employees could straight address the unit to lodge complaints they have next to their employers regarding the project, said Ibrahim Al Mousa Executive Director of Finance and Administration at the General Authority for Health Services for the Emirate of Abu Dhabi (GAHS). Many employees in the private sector, particularly those who have problems with their employers regarding monthly payment were skeptical that their sponsors would not cover them by the newly compulsory health insurance project.
On July 1 the first stage of the health insurance scheme came into force phasing out the health care system. Under a presidential decree it has become obligatory for employers to provide their employees with a health insurance policy. The first stage of the scheme includes firms employing more than 1000 employees. Phase two of the project would be implemented on January 1, 2007 and would contain all expatriates residing and working in the emirate of Abu Dhabi.
