UAE’s Ministry of Finance (MoF) will begin uploading Emirates ID numbers within employees’ records in the Federal Financial System, an essential reference for all financial transactions and procedures.

The ministry will withhold July salaries of employees with incomplete or inaccurate national ID details, a statement said.

The Ministry of Finance followed up and urged ministries and federal entities to ensure the completion of uploading the Emirates ID number, from the issuance date of the circular. The Emirate ID number is an essential reference to speed up all government transactions for all federal government employees.

Mariam Mohammed Al Amiri, Assistant Undersecretary for the Management of Financial Resources stressed the need for all ministries and federal entities to ensure the completion of uploading the required data in the federal financial system.

Having the correct data for all government employees in ministries and federal entities will facilitate transactions, and follow up on their requests in a fast and accurate manner. HE Al Amiri also highlighted the link between the Emirate ID number and a number of significant federal government projects.

The Ministry had previously announced that all ministries and federal entities linked to the federal financial system must enter or correct the Emirates ID numbers for all of their employees; and those that adopt their own financial systems must complete the national ID details. – TradeArabia News Service
