The Workers Protection Insurance Programme has been launched by Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ), a significant effort in collaboration with RAKINSURANCE.
This plan is in line with the Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation’s (MoHRE) emphasis on improving financial security for employees and is expected to greatly improve the welfare and financial security of workers within RAKEZ-registered enterprises.
The new insurance plan will take the place of the present visa deposit requirements. It will provide complete insurance coverage, including reimbursement for work-related accidents, end-of-service gratuity, due and unpaid pay, and repatriation expenses.
In line with the UAE’s strategic goals for corporate governance and employee rights, as well as Ras Al Khaimah’s ambition to improve the standard of living for its workforce, this project highlights RAKEZ’s dedication to promoting a safe and prosperous business environment.
