Add Backdate Engagement - Business

The Backdated Subscription Period Addition – Business service is an online service provided by the General Organization for Social Insurance (GOSI) through the Taminati A’mal platform. It allows employers to register previous work periods for subscribers that were not recorded within the required timeframe. The added period must not exceed 24 months from the date of request submission. This service aims to correct social insurance records and ensure that all actual employment periods are reflected in the subscriber’s insurance history.

Employers can access their account on Taminati A’mal, navigate to Subscriptions, and select Add Backdated Subscription Period. They then complete the form by entering the subscriber’s information, the employment period to be added (start and end dates), and the salary during that time. Supporting documents such as employment contracts, payroll records, or official proof of employment must be attached.

Approval depends on the accuracy of the data and compliance with regulatory requirements. Once verified and accepted, the added period is reflected in the subscriber’s record, and the appropriate retroactive contributions become due for payment.
