GOSI Periods and Wages Certificate: How to Get It and Use It in a Labour Case

The GOSI periods and wages certificate (شهادة مدد وأجور) is an official document from the General Organization for Social Insurance showing your contribution periods with every employer, your join and exit dates, and your contributory wage. Banks and employers ask for it, you need it for retirement, and it helps a great deal in any labour dispute over length of service or pay.

How to get the certificate

1. Log in to GOSI's Taminati platform (website or app) with an active account and a valid ID.
2. Go to the certificates section.
3. Choose the wages (periods and wages) certificate. It differs from the contribution certificate, which shows the current wage of an active contributor.
4. Issue it, then save or print it.

The certificate in a labour dispute

In labour cases it helps prove length of service with the employer, which is the basis of the end-of-service award and dismissal compensation. Two cautions:

• The registered wage may differ from the real wage. If the employer registered a lower wage than you are paid, claims rely on the contract, bank statements and payroll. Keep them.
• The exit date is not always the end of employment. If you were removed from GOSI before the contract actually ended, that can be argued in the case.

Work out your award with the end-of-service calculator, and see filing a labour case. A labour claim is not heard after twelve months from the end of employment.

Frequently asked questions

My employer registered my salary lower than it really is. What can I do?

Keep your contract and bank statements showing the real wage. In a claim for your dues, the wage proven by the contract and actual payment counts, and the difference can be raised in the labour case.
