WPS-Compliant Payroll

Payroll Services in UAE

If you employ staff in the UAE, salaries must be paid through the Wage Protection System via a registered bank or exchange house. End-of-service gratuity accrues after one year of continuous service: 21 days of basic salary for each of the first five years, then 30 days per year, capped at 24 months of basic salary under Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021. Ratio runs the monthly cycle — calculations, SIF file, payslips and MOL records.

Monthly Payroll, WPS Files and Gratuity

Four things run every month: the salary calculation, the WPS submission, employee records and labour law compliance. Gratuity is calculated on basic salary only, excluding allowances.

Monthly Payroll Run

Salary calculations, deductions, allowances, overtime and payslips. Figures are checked against contracts before anything reaches the bank.

WPS Submission

WPS registration, monthly SIF file generation and bank upload. Salaries are paid through banks and exchange houses registered with the system.

Employee Records and Gratuity

Employee files, contract tracking, visa renewals and leave. Gratuity is accrued monthly on basic salary only, not reconstructed at resignation.

Labour Law Compliance

UAE labour law, MOL requirements, visa records and employment documentation kept current. If a file is incomplete, you hear it from us first.
