The General Organization for Social Insurance (GOSI) is an organization that is responsible for providing social insurance services in Saudi Arabia. GOSI plays an important role in promoting the welfare of Saudi citizens and providing financial security for employees and their families. It provides the employer with a way to cover their employees and make sure they have enough support in case of certain events.

  • Old-age pensions: GOSI provides pension benefits to eligible employees when they reach retirement age.
  • Disability benefits: GOSI provides benefits to employees who become disabled as a result of a work-related injury or illness.
