Frequently asked questions
What is WPS and who must comply?
The Wage Protection System (WPS) is a UAE electronic salary transfer mechanism to ensure timely wage payments. Most licensed employers in the UAE must use WPS for payroll disbursements.
How long does WPS setup take?
Typical setup takes several days to two weeks depending on document readiness, bank onboarding and MOHRE verification. We provide timelines after the initial consultation.
Can you submit salary files on our behalf?
Yes — with an authorization letter we coordinate file formatting, submission to the designated bank and follow up until transfers are confirmed.
What happens if a salary file is rejected?
We identify rejection reasons, correct the file or employee data, resubmit to the bank and provide guidance to prevent recurring issues.
Do you handle changes like new hires or terminations?
Yes — we update payroll records, ensure MOHRE and bank records reflect changes, and include updates in subsequent salary submissions.
