Frequently Asked Questions

The Wage Protection System (WPS) is an electronic salary transfer system implemented by the UAE Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE). It requires employers to pay employee salaries through authorised banks, exchange houses, or financial institutions. WPS is mandatory for all private sector companies registered with MOHRE. Non-compliance can result in work permit blocks, fines, and business licence suspensions.

End-of-service gratuity is calculated based on the employee's basic salary and length of service. For employees who complete one year or more: 21 days' basic salary for each year of the first five years of service, plus 30 days' basic salary for each additional year beyond five years. The total gratuity is capped at two years' total wages. Gratuity is calculated on basic salary only, not including allowances.

Yes. Payroll outsourcing in the UAE helps businesses reduce administrative costs, minimise payroll errors, and avoid penalties related to non-compliance. It eliminates the need for dedicated payroll staff, software investments, and ongoing training. Most businesses find that professional payroll services cost less than maintaining an in-house payroll function while delivering better accuracy, compliance, and efficiency.

Penalties for payroll non-compliance include: late salary payment fines of AED 1,000 per employee per month (capped at AED 50,000), work permit blocks and business licence suspension for WPS violations, legal action and potential travel bans for failure to pay gratuity, and MOHRE complaints with required reimbursement for incorrect deductions. Professional payroll services help businesses avoid these costly penalties.

Employers must maintain comprehensive payroll records including: employee contracts and personal details, salary structure and amendments, attendance and leave records, overtime calculations, allowances and deductions, WPS payment receipts, payslips issued to employees, and gratuity calculations. Records should be retained for at least 2 years after employment ends, though best practice recommends 5-7 years for audit and compliance purposes.
