6+
Frameworks we cover
100%
WPS compliance
The mandatory electronic salary-transfer system monitored by MOHRE. Non-compliance carries per-employee fines and can suspend new work permits for the entire company.
Governs employment contracts, working hours, leave entitlements and end-of-service benefits for all private-sector employees in the UAE.
A mandatory funded end-of-service savings scheme that replaces traditional gratuity for employees within the DIFC.
Pension and social-security contributions for UAE and GCC national employees, calculated and filed on a monthly basis.
Each free zone applies its own employment and payroll regulations on top of federal law — getting this wrong is a common source of penalties.
Cross-border pay runs require accurate FX handling and jurisdiction-specific statutory deductions across the GCC.
Frequently asked questions
Final clarity before you decide.
Still weighing it up? Our payroll specialists are happy to answer anything specific to your business.
We take complete responsibility for your payroll cycle — calculating salaries, processing WPS transfers, handling statutory filings and reporting — while you simply review and approve. Your team keeps full visibility without the operational burden.
If payroll accuracy, WPS compliance, multi-country complexity or single-person dependency is a concern, outsourcing removes that risk. It suits businesses of every size — from a single UAE entity to multi-country GCC operations.
A specialist provider runs your end-to-end payroll under UAE law — WPS, gratuity/EOSB, GPSSA/GOSI, free-zone rules and statutory reporting — so every pay cycle is accurate, on time and fully compliant.
Yes. Employee salary, visa and bank data is handled under ISO 27001 and ISAE 3402 Type II certified controls — the same standard relied on by highly regulated financial institutions.
A dedicated specialist team processes payroll faster, with multi-level review and zero single-point dependency — at a predictable cost that is typically lower than the fully-loaded cost of in-house staff and software.
