Payroll and WPS, run on schedule.
Payroll processing, WPS files and end-of-service calculations for growing teams in Dubai. We tailor the engagement to your records, filing deadlines, accounting system and agreed scope.
Payroll and WPS in the UAE
The Wage Protection System requires salaries to be paid through approved channels and reported in a prescribed file format. Late or non-compliant WPS submissions can affect a company ability to process labour transactions, including new visas and renewals, which turns a payroll administration issue into an operational one very quickly.
We run the monthly payroll cycle and produce the WPS file, so the process is routine rather than a recurring scramble.
What is included
- Monthly payroll processing across basic salary, allowances, overtime and deductions
- WPS SIF file preparation and submission through your bank or exchange house
- Individual payslips issued to employees
- Leave and absence tracking, including accrued leave balances
- End-of-service gratuity calculations on resignation or termination
- Final settlement calculations
- Payroll journals posted into your accounting system, coded correctly
End-of-service calculations
Gratuity depends on length of service, the reason employment ended, the type of contract and which elements of pay count towards the calculation. Getting it wrong is a common source of disputes, and the cost of an incorrect settlement is usually far higher than the cost of calculating it properly. We prepare the calculation with the workings shown, so both sides can see how the figure was reached.
Payroll that connects to your books
Payroll is often run in isolation and posted into the accounts as a single lump sum, which makes departmental costs invisible and complicates both audit and Corporate Tax. We post payroll properly: salary cost, accrued leave and end-of-service provision recorded where they belong, so your monthly accounts reflect the real cost of your team.
How the engagement works
1. Set up
We load employee records, contracts, salary structures and bank details, and agree the monthly cut-off date.
2. Run
Each month we process the payroll, send it to you for approval, and produce the WPS file on the agreed timetable.
3. Report
Payslips are issued, journals are posted, and leave and gratuity balances are updated.
Employee data is handled confidentially and shared only with the people you nominate. Tell us your headcount and we will scope the monthly cycle.
What do I need to provide?
Tick these off before we start. If something is missing, say so rather than delaying, and we will work out how to proceed without it.
