Article 10 explained in plain English
This article places a record-keeping obligation on the retirement or insurance body of the state of the workplace.
The obligation: to keep:
- special records,
- and statistics,
on the GCC nationals working there.
Source of the data: the data it receives from employers. This is linked to Article 9, which obliges the employer to submit to the bodies of the state of the workplace the insurance forms for the GCC nationals working for it, after completing their details.
Why these records? Although the law of the home state governs the insurance of a GCC national, the body of the state of the workplace is closest to the employer and the employee. Having records enables it to carry out its follow-up role.
In practical terms, the data an employer provides is not only sent to the home state but is also kept in the workplace state's records. The accuracy of the data the employer provides is therefore important for the accuracy of these records.
The article does not specify the content of the records, how long they are kept, or who may inspect them, so we assume nothing on these points. Article 11 begins by setting out the bases for collecting contributions.
To apply this to a specific case, it is advisable to consult a lawyer who specializes in social insurance and retirement laws.
